Not to beat a dead horse but it sounds like from what Hyde said that he can hit a hole in the line quickly and decisively too. That would be a huge plus if he was effective up the middle as well as outside.

Hyde needs to be concern of his yearly on-going problem of trying to stay healthy

Uh huh. I am sure he will try not to break a bone in his foot again this year...

Right. Because you only get those particular injuries if you aren't healthy.

If he can just be healthy for the entire year, that would be a HUGE plus right there, and hold on to the ball when he gets his chances!!

Yeah let's start there.

Dude is under the radar, I wouldn't be surprised if he turns out being real good.

During Hyde interview they asked him about Kelvin and Hyde's face lit up. Says Kelvin is decisive about hitting a hole, no stutter in his step, and praised his receiving too.

That's the kinda feedback I like to hear

that would be huge, if he can be a dangerous receiver out of the backfield ...we need weapons and playmakers

I really like this pick now...

I saw Taylor play about 5 times last year, the most interesting part is that Florida's offense did not call for him to go out of the backfield to catch lots of passes.. I know Kelly likes those middle screen (Oregon and LeMichael James) and also have used Sproles often on gimmick plays.. maybe this could be Taylor's future in the team..
Frank gore lite!
I'm real impressed with his elusiveness and the way he hits a hole--very decisive. If he can pass protect as well, he will be a keeper IMHO.

He is great at juking

Teach him how to block a blitzing OLB/DE and we may have our #2 back

No fumbles in SEC conference pretty impressive

Thought the same.
Haven't heard too much about him, I think he's gonna fight Harris for a spot. Think Mike Davis has a spot secured. Draughn gets cut.

Backs don't stay in to block much in Kelly's system. They flare out as receivers. We welcome the blitz...chance for a simple big hitter.

Nothing like a big gain to keep the rush honest.

Nice comparison cool, Hunter was a lil stronger down stairs IMO, could be wrong. But yeah, maybe he'll play the NFL version of Lamichael James
