Let's not go overboard trying to cut down taysom.

Taysom was wildly athletic at his best at byu. Doesn't mean he's going to be an NFL player.

Don't try so hard

Good luck to Taysom, Jamaal, Harvey, and the rest of the BYU guys on draft day!

Hill is made of glass and will have to learn a new position. Of course he's low.

Makes no sense

How many injury-prone 26 YO projects get drafted?

vagabonder

4/27/17 6:20am

four last year, two in 2015, none in 2014, two in 2013

You mean I'm right? The power of positive guessing.

So let's put him at a position that requires even more contact

It's not the same but look at Adrian Peterson

Peterson had put up major numbers and has been hurt less frequent than TH.....

I get it but I'm only comparing to college and RB is harsher than QB in the NFL

McAfree is athletic, taysom isnt. Taysom has strength and speed but no agility.

Taysom isn't athletic???

It makes perfect sense. Read it again.

It's really not even close....

Where was Taysom timed at 4.44? If it wasn't electronically timed, it didn't

At BYU's pro day with numerous NFL scouts in attendence. It was all over the

My question was whether it was hand timed

Strength and speed is athleticism

cougarmanguy

4/27/17 6:21am

I define athleticism as agility. Taysom can run fast in a straight line and lift

Backcountry

4/27/17 6:38am

Doesn't matter what you personally define it as

cougarmanguy

4/27/17 6:42am

And I don't think k he's an NFL player either, but never had

Smiley face when you don't have a coherent rebuttal. Genius

cougarmanguy

4/27/17 6:45am

I tried. You are too dense to understand. If you watched stanford and byu games

Backcountry

4/27/17 6:47am

Well, this was productive. Congrats on that

cougarmanguy

4/27/17 6:48am

Did I compare the two? Link? Trying too hard again

cougarmanguy

4/27/17 6:51am

Lol. I responded to the op, specifically about his comparison.

Backcountry

4/27/17 6:59am

I never brought it up so don't argue that with me

cougarmanguy

4/27/17 7:03am

So, you're saying that speed and strength ARE NOT athleticism, but agility is?

jaba166

4/27/17 9:33pm

A very good point!

jaba166

4/27/17 8:59pm

You can define it how you want but that doesn't make it reality

Littlerich

Texas D would disagree. Very agile.

As would a lot of other victims!

jaba166

4/27/17 9:34pm

Why are you comparing a QB to a RB?

BYUheaven

4/27/17 6:29am

Just a potential position for Taysom, and similar athletes.

jaba166

4/27/17 9:36pm

I don't see it happening for Taysom. But McCaffery will be the bust of the year.

Heath Squashwell

4/27/17 7:11am

I think he can be successful as a Sproles-type player who gets 10-15 touches

Duke Silver

4/27/17 8:20am

I see him as a Reggie Bush type player.

wilsdad

4/27/17 8:28am

Reggie Bush is a good comparison.

Drag cars have a much higher top speed than Indy cars. Why not use them in Indy?

Diepkloof

4/27/17 7:23am

Too bad none of them are gonna get picked today

TouchdownCougars

4/27/17 8:00am

What gives? McCaffrey is 10 times the player Taysom is.

Tayson isn't as high...if he is trying to go as a QB.
