Tough for Taylor but he always seems to get dinged up. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

C Mart Posted August 18 Share Posted August 18 40 reps on the bench. He scores an 80 using Pat Kirwan’s explosive score. 70 is normally elite. Now can he play football? https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Jaylen_Twyman 1 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Sarge4Tide Posted August 18 Share Posted August 18 Twyman Is a curious signing. He must have had an impressive workout. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Larz Posted August 18 Share Posted August 18 6’2, 285. Probably looking for a DE for run downs ? 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The athletic numbers are impressive, but his pro career to date has been a whole lot of nothing. Very curious signing indeed. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

On the shorter side, but powerful and stout at the point of attack. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

He was a very good player at Pitt - had one excellent season with 11 sacks and people were making Aaron Donald comparisons. But he has done very little as a pro. On the fringes on the PS of the Vikings then the Phish, and then off to the lower leagues. He was an innocent victim in a shooting a few years back (shot 4 times) so that may well partially explain why his pro career hasn't gone anywhere so far. A good athlete with a low base and good strength though, and seems to have some interior pass-rush ability. He's a longshot -especially joining the team this late in the pre-season - but we'll hope for the best and see what he can do. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Now we know why Zack Rosenblatt @ZackBlatt DT Leki Fotu (hamstring) is also out for the rest of camp. WR Irv Charles should return soon.
