if he wasnt such a physical specimen, he wouldnt even be in the discussion of a 1st round pick or have gone to college at usc. what makes him stand out? besides the fact hes a mule and is lightening fast. hes not a big play maker. i dont think he'll ever be any better than a roman harper type player, who by the way was drafted in the 2nd round

but he is a physical specimen and did go to USC, and is a first round prospect, so what exactly is your point?

and 88 tackles from the safety position makes him stand out

well what im trying to say is really jus my opinion. i dont think he has the football instincts to be a dominate safety. yeah 88 tackles isnt bad, opposed to 53 tackles the year before. but 2 ints in his last 3 season and only 1 forced fumble in 4 years of college isnt too impressive either. jus hold off on the r. lott/polamalu talk

Re: Taylor Mays...USC

He is a bust unless he is drafted and signed by the Saints. Then he is a "beast"! LOLOLOLOLOL

But then again, I remember comments re; Meachem...once drafted by the Saints and now fast foward.

Mathius is correct. 2 INTS in 3 seasons, NO THANKS!! Better prospects out there with better FOOTBALL instincts.

Re: Taylor Mays...USC

he caught every ball thrown at him except 1 at the combine today

hes fast....he hits hard.....and hes tall

the reason people dont think hes good is because he has only 3 INTs? lmao

lol pretty much

i know most people dont like mays....i like his athleticism. plus hes only 22 and he is playing with a lot of raw skills

he can be coached up IMO but i know very little about DBs so im not exactly sure how raw he is
