Raanan ESPN NY: Devin Taylor could prove to be 'great signing' at bargain price for Giants
"While it was somewhat surprising that Taylor didn’t attract more interest around the league, it speaks to what most teams seemed to think. An executive with an NFC team said the perception is that Taylor is a different type of cat. And different rarely plays well in the NFL if you’re not a special player.
A source with a different NFC team described Taylor as “just a guy” with average athleticism and football ability. He was viewed by that team as a potential rotational/depth guy."

Vaught Harlan Daily Enterprise: Former Browns running back Ernie Green to be honored
"It is very difficult to think of a favorite memory for Jim Brown,” recalled Green, who gained 3,204 rushing yards (averaging 4.8 yards per carry) and caught 195 passes for 2,036 yards during his pro career. “Each game we played he would make a catch, break a tackle and complete a run that would make me say to myself, ‘How did he do that?’
“One game comes to mind. Early in my career we played the Cowboys in the Cotton Bowl. Jim made a run that to this day I have never seen anyone else make. The play started on the Dallas 5-yard line The play was our famous sweep to the left. The key block was the one I missed on the linebacker. He was able to force Jim back to the 10-yard line. Jim out ran him and was able to turn the corner toward the goal line. Nine Cowboys hit him and he was able to score the touchdown. This was the greatest run that I have ever seen.”
