Well, yeah... He's about as explosive an athlete as you'll find on a football field... He's an elite athlete...
Hands are big as hell, too...
And after Crabby's measurements at the combine, Dez may be bigger than Crabby too...

Taylor mays is gonan end up like Thomas Davis
a safety/OLB tweener.
Taylor makes ZERO plays in the passing game.
I dont see him being anythign other than a special teamer/rotation guy in the NFL
Taylor Mays is a great athlete and a good football player. Eric Berry is a great football player. That's the difference between them IMO.Mays is just a great athlete that doesn't really use his athleticism as well as he could, while Eric Berry makes game-changing plays.

Add the fact there are 3 returning senior QB's who could possibly be leading the 3 best teams next year and each has either won a Heisman orbeen runner up. Unless 1 of them gets injured there is no way Jahvid is top 3

Taylor Mays is garbage. I wouldn't be surprised if he got benched this year. Stop mentioning this dude's name in the same sentence as Eric berryplease.
He is extremely overrated (mostly by NT) and he plays in the big xii. He has inflated stats from all the bums on OSU's schedule. Reminds metoo much of Limas sweed. Good but not great. He's very nice with the YAC's but i don't see him consistently getting open in the L.Originally Posted by GUNNA GET IT
The fan
Blame it all on Mr Im 40
He played it so scared on the road.
I remember vs mizzu, Texas and Texas Tech Dez bein furious cus he'd be one on one vs some 5'9 CB and they wouldnt check to "his play"
who cares about road n home tho. vs texas he balled and he killed vs OU.
Texas Tech, his coach kept him out that ball game

Limas Sweed aint got an Ounce of Dez *Bryant* ( doin 2 things at once and typin fast) in him.
Dez is fast, attacks the ball and runs routes.
Ive at least seen him defeat double coverage and press coverage, so rite there he's good money with me.

Out there getting ROASTED @ CB. Straight Flambe'd
Should be on offense.
Should've stuck to his original commitment to FSU, then he would've stayed there.
Hopefully he'll make an impact this year on KR/PR.

him goin all TO on Oregon til he got hurt
I was getting annoyed with dudes puttin the * by that game for a minute, but now I have come to reality. That game would've been completelydifferent if he would've stayed in.
Anybody else think his draft stock will hinge on what kind of year crabs has in the L? I was just thinking if he has a sub-par season, teams may have hesitateto take another hyped WR in the top 10 again...Or if he just runs wild, teams will want to jump all over the top WR prospect...thoughts?
