I believe that when he gets to camp he will finally find his home where he earns a rotational spot and some solid playing time. Maybe he just develops slowly and we are about to get a player in his prime.

Taco has been in some good organizations with good coaches though.

His name came up a lot in Dallas as having "poor work ethic" & "soft". In Pittsburgh, he wasn't thought up high enough to be re-signed as "depth".

Some would argue scheme, bad fit, etc but at the end of the day, he wasn't making plays. He's on his 5th NFL team for a reason. Sounds like bust material to me.

First-rounders are expected to be key contributors within 3 seasons at this level of football.
