Highly doubt Taylor takes Kerleys spot this year, barring an injury of course.

I wanna see 4 WR sets with this guy and Kerley both on the field.

Amen to that.

Looking at his tape the guy got open a lot in college. Just about every pass he caught he had at least a yard or two separation. Many times about 3-5 yards.

I'm not sure if he'll be able to get open like that in the NFL but if he can he'll be a great slot receiver. Only concern I'd have is his weight, especially catching passes down the middle.

Also, being 5' 9" may cause some issues with larger more physical guys that jam him up at the line. Jump balls may be tough to land in the NFL as well. That's not really his thing though, his "thing" is getting wide open. I'm rootin for him. People should watch his game vs NAVY. It was pretty much the Taylor Bowl.

Trent Taylor is growing a beard. It makes him look like Hugh Jackman as Wolverine.

We should run and gun.

Chip Kelly style with Colin Kaepernick at QB.

This will instantly make him a favorite of mine, and I don't even know much about him! I hope he can grow those claws and tear up this league.

I hope he grows a man bun as well. We need more Hipster Punky Wide Receivers.

Enjoyed that! The one drop and fumble were only downsides to an otherwise great receiving performance. He's quick on his breaks to get open and doesn't seem to be afraid of catching in middle of the field. Great attributes for a slot WR!

The next Calvin Johnson

I know you're kidding, but do you think he's more like a Wes Welker, Julian Edelman, or Cole Beasely?

I see a lot of Brandon Stokely, Wayne Chrebet, Steve Largent, and Danny Amendola in his game too.
