Consistently got open. AND

Didn't drop the ball.

You don't trade guys like that.

Especially for undrafted or late round rookies. Kerley is never going to be a 1,000 WR but he's exceptionally good at his role and has proven it throughout his career on multiple teams.

Agreed... dude is clutch on 3rd downs too. Crafty.

Loved the way he got straight up after taking that shot in the back. Tough.

No need...Kyle will use both. He had Kerley outside a lot last night.

I think Taylor has looked like the better, more natural punt returned in preseason as well. Sure hands, fearless and he can usually shake the 1st gunner on his own. And as someone mentioned, that catch over the middle where he got hit by the safety will resonate with coaches in the film room. Making those kind of catches keep the chains moving, and will get you more snaps.

Taylor already better than another LA Tech WR we had, Patton.. I believe Tim Rattay is the WR Coach at LA Tech still.

He hasn't been the WR's coach since the 2015 season.

He must be the OC now, Don't follow LA Tech football much as you can tell.

He definitely took a little breather on the ground after that hit, but he got up and caught two more passes

Yeah, you could tell he definitely felt it and was maybe thinking of taking a few more seconds but chose not to and bounced to his feet, which was good.

I just hope he doesn't take a lot more shots like that one to the back of the neck and head. Initially i thought he was dead. Nope, he popped back up. But that must have taken a lot of effort to do so. Guy has good hands in addition to a lot of guts...and toughness. Just hope he stays healthy.

He's going to take a lot of those kinds of shots by the way he plays and because he's fearless. Good thing he's tuff with an F.
