Unfortunately for Taylor, it wasn't a performance that wowed at all as he didn't test great today with the bench press coming up tomorrow. NFL Next Gen Stats ranked him as the 15th best defensive tackle in terms of athleticism score through the drills today. His stats were the following:
40-Yard Dash: 5.12 seconds
10-Yard Split: 1.76 seconds
Vertical Leap: 30"
Broad Jump: 9'1"
3-Cone Drill: 7.81 seconds
In terms as an overall prospect, the upside is still there for Taylor. He was ranked as five-star recruit coming out of high school and displayed flashes throughout his career at Miami.
His best season came in his sophomore season in 2022, where he produced 24 tackles, 10.5 tackles for loss and three sacks to go along with an interception.
Stay tuned at AllHurricanes for the rest of the week as Taylor will compete in the bench press drill and other Hurricanes will compete in the NFL Draft Combine.
