no one would want to claim any of the losers cut by teams as part of the initial cut down to 80 elected by several squads...

Credit to Getts and the pro personnel dept. for overturning every stone?

Taylor is a CB from Kansas University

His measureables from his Pro Day are:

40 yds. 4.39 (claims he had been running 4.31 just before his Pro Day)
3 cone: 7.37
broad jump: 10' 4"
vertical: 37.1"
lifts: pulled muscle, so did not lift
wing span: 74.7"

All of the above measureables make him an Elite athlete.

So, the question not only is why wasn't he drafted, but why did the Broncos cut him?

Maybe after looking at game film, the Broncos decided he couldn't play nfl-caliber football.

But my hunch is that it's his size. He's 6 feet tall, which is OK, but only 175 lbs. 175 lbs.!!!

This guy needs to muscle up. IMO no chance to make the final roster. But possible that he spends a year on the Practice Squad. You can't teach speed but maybe a year of pro pro weight trading can get him to around 190 lbs.
