He was recently released.. I know he is a terrible safety but can he be formed to play LB like the cardinals did with Buchanan? Pair aside Bowman He hits like a thrown brick, good against a run. i think can run well with TE and RB.

I thought Seattle signed him?

Only recent news on this dude was from back in April when he had a workout with Seattle. Never signed.

Hasn't played an NFL games since 2015. Cincy signed him for the second time in 2016. Was suspended the first 4 games of the season. Cincy cut him after he was facing another 4 games for failing another drug test in July 2016.

Played one game for the Saskatchewan Roughriders in 2017 then was released.

Dont think there has ever been a college football player I have been more wrong about than Taylor Mays. Thought he was Ronnie Lott v.2

I was completely wrong about JJ Stokes. Among others.

nfl combine page

Taylor Mays 6-3 230 DB
Weaknesses
Does not always take proper angles, which mitigates his great speed. Over-aggressive at times, as he prefers to land a big hit over playing the ball in pass coverage. Technique is sloppy, which may give him trouble in coverage against better athletes at the next level. There are concerns about his passion for the game and his overall maturity.

Sounds about right. Should have had him gain 20 lbs and be a OLB. lol

I was so excited we got him in the 2nd round. He made one nice special teams play in the end zone and that was it.

Rod Woodson and Ronnie Lott were both caught up in the potential hype train also.

Had he come out for the draft the year prior, he was a projected top 5 pick. I thought we had an absolute STEAL in the 2nd round. Was so happy about it, my brother and I were celebrating lol.

Stokes at least had a 9-year career in the NFL. He was never anywhere as close to good as his draft status projected him, but he averaged 38 Rec, 477 Yards, 3.4 TDs a year, which is at least #3 WR numbers.

The guy even got a SB ring with the Patriots in his last season before retiring (SB XXXVIII).
