Popular Post Falco21 Posted April 28 Popular Post Share Posted April 28 As someone who lives in Miami and graduated from FSU, I can say we got an absolute STEAL with this kid. "Leonard Taylor III's pass rush win rate as a 3-technique was 28.6%, which is just flat out absurd. The problem is Miami only gave him 28 pass rush snaps as a 3-technique the entire year. He was a nose tackle on 127 pass rush snaps. Remember that split while doing your evals." This is the perfect guy for this staff and I think he is sneakily an amazing pickup 16 1 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I distinctly remember the fan base frustrations because of it. I trust this staff and hopefully he flourishes under Whitecotton Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Popular Post nycdan Posted April 28 Popular Post Share Posted April 28 One of the handful of guys I was really surprised did not get drafted. Glad we snagged him. Would love to see him follow in the footsteps of past UDFA DL we have had success with (Huff, Harrison, Devito) 6 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
JETSxWRATH™ Posted April 28 Share Posted April 28 This dude is the defensive version of Becton. Super athletically gifted but he's soft as sh*t. He bought into his own hype coming out of HS as top prospect, never put in the necessary work to be great at Miami. He couldn't even bother getting in good shape for the combine. Hopefully, the coaches can light a fire under his ass 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Wit Posted April 28 Share Posted April 28 So basically he’s the Bryce huff of FSU. Good pick up. They tanked his value but using himAs a specialist instead of how he should be used. Sent from my iPhone using JetNation.com mobile app Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

He's the perfect rotation type player we utilize. Tremendous upside and with good coaching, I personally believe he can be very very good in this defense Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

SomebodytoAnybody47 Posted April 29 Share Posted April 29 So what's this deal with this guy? Just completely lazy and doesn't want to put in the work? Everywhere says he was ranked highly, once a potential first round pick, but just kept dropping and dropping. Tested poorly at the combine. But say the Jets are the perfect landing spot for him.

I mean, hard to argue the Jets aren't the perfect landing spot. If nothing else this team has developed and trotted put some solid DL in recent years, he will have time to learn and we got him for free. Gotta to like the move, if he doesn't haul ass in training camp we can cut him without a second thought. If the chance to play on this DL and prove himself doesn't get the best of him I doubt anywhere else will. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Wouldn't be a bad test to see if he can stay motivated on the practice squad. If so, he can be the first man in line for roster promotion if an iDL injury happens. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
bonkertons Posted April 29 Share Posted April 29 I would imagine going undrafted will be a pretty good motivator, but you never really know how a guy is built. Definitely worth giving him a look though. Uber talented DT, and we could really use another young guy to add to that room. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Jethead Posted August 8 Share Posted August 8 Love to see one of these kid DL flash enough to take the Carcoochie board away from Tanzel. No way he cracks top 8 though which is ok. 1 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

ARodJetsFan Posted August 8 Share Posted August 8 Really haven't heard Taylor's name mentioned much in camp thus far, like I have with Watts & McGregor. I'd like to watch him play a little bit on Saturday and see how he looks - but my expectations aren't very high for him. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Ghost Posted August 8 Share Posted August 8 I have to be honest, I don’t think I remember a single tweet with Taylor’s name being mentioned. Eric Watts is a name I’ve heard a handful of times. I expect him to make the 53. 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Until yesterday, I had never seen his name mentioned good or bad. I hope he is great as he would make us better, but so far, I haven't seen any indications that he is. Edit: I just clicked on the long black horizontal bar in your post, and see that it's a link to Jets Confidential and that he praised Taylor on 8/5. I hope he's right, but I have to say I am skeptical about anything Leberfeld reports. Several years ago he was pimping a young undrafted QB on the Jets who finally got to play due to injuries and he was awful. I also find it odd that none of the other reporters who have tweeted about TC practices or none of the posters here or on other Jets sites who attended practice never mentioned Taylor's name.
