Film Notes and Highlights
Leonard Taylor III is a great pass rushing DT. Taylor is excellent at getting skinny to break through the OL, with elite hand placement. He consistently bursts through the OL untouched and has a great swim move. He performs much better when asked to initiate contact than open up for others. At times Taylor can get his back turned in the run game. He also has poor contact balance, causing him to end up on the ground more often than one would like. Overall, I have Taylor as a late Day 2 prospect. – Thomas Christopher
