Taylor Mays the original combine king back in the NFL?

I never understood why the the league couldn’t get anything out of this guy. Not even a special teams player? He had unseen ability and you mean to tell me he couldn’t be Colin jones or Corn Elder? I would have picked him up just to see how he looked behind Adams last season, stick him at Linebacker somewhere. I would still take a flyer on this dude at this day and age for the vet min.

If you don't have the brains to back up the brawn your career will be short.

Because he's an athlete and not a football player. I know it must come as a shock to you, but the NFL isn't a track and field event.

College all-American a few times and big numbers at usc beg to differ... he was productive and the complete package as a prospect. Do your research.

Thing is he just couldn't cover,  and as a Safety you need to be able to cover people.

Yeah that’s my thing. He showed all the traits and skills to play at the next level. I dunno I think you could have atleast got him some snaps at linebacker. I think the nfl doesn’t move guys around at different positions enough if they fail at one spot. If someone like say Gary fails at end I would kick him inside to tackle. Experiment get the most from our guys.

Worked pretty well with Nate Chandler and Sione Fua.

    • With the contract money an OT first rounder makes you can ALWAYS get a new girlfriend.  And probably an upgrade at that.  You only got 2 parents.
    • Brother. You are wholly confusing comparing situations and applying actual standards like most other franchises do like simply getting into a playoff series and winning at least 1 or 2 series games with praising. Nobody is praising the Hawks. Nobody is praising the Magic. Nobody here likes those teams. But reality is reality. The Hawks like other franchises have traded players fired coaches etc but they can still win a couple playoff games. How is that not the bare floor for you or anyone else? What are we doing here if it isn't? We've seen eye to eye on many things over the years. But you are in the camp on the Hornets where you are emotionally attached to LaMelo where you feel the need to carry his water like he's got that juice. That's cool that you feel that way. It's your prerogative. But I differ from that viewpoint entirely. If he had that juice we would not have gotten wiped off the court in 2 play in games with 2 different coaching staffs and rosters. if people don't like hearing that well I'm sorry but how the hell is this team ever going to get better and ultimately go anywhere in the postseason if we just blindly pat them on the back for getting their asses whooped before they actually even get into the real playoffs? There seem to be some Bryce Young level standards being applied here. That's wild to me. But to each his own.
    • Proctor/Freeling were always the belles of the ball where we were picking. What those two *could* become at OT was far greater than what others could be at their respective positions and I’m glad our FO could see that.
