Pats Bring Safety Taylor Mays for workout

[SHOWTIME15]

Taylor Mays to work out for Patriots

Considered a top player in the 2010 draft but has bounced around from team to team over the years. Had good combine numbers including a 4.43 40 time. He was suspended for substance abuse.

 

[Kontradiction]

I remember a lot of people in the draft forum were enamored by him back then. Doesn't hurt the kick the tires, but I really can't project where he would go outside of maybe competition for Jordan Richards.

It wouldn't hurt, but I doubt he'll make the team.

Maybe the team can somehow transfer Mays' speed from Mays' body into Richards'. Or Richards' intelligence for the game into Mays' body. They might have something, then.

I don't see this happening. He reminds me of David Boston, all muscle no play.

Gymrat must be rooting for him big time.

David Boston had a short career , couldn't keep his nose learn or stay healthy but when healthy he was dominant.

David Boston had a short career and couldn't stay healthy but when healthy he was dominant.

He had a short career because what he really cared about was bodybuilding, and he was roiding out to see how good he could look in the mirror.

Mays is interesting. Great athlete with horrible football instincts.
Can BB teach him?
Could be a special team player and a big nickel safety with limited duties and reads.

It's possible that Ernie Adams is working on that right now in the super-secret 4th sub-basement under Gillette.

(obligatory, "BWAaahahahahah!")

Sure. Just saying he actually did produce.

FYI, "Bwahahaha" is a laugh..."Mwahaha" is an evil laugh.

And yes, I'm the guy who coined those!

I remember that Mays told the media Carroll promised to pick him if he were available, and then Carroll picked Earl Thomas instead. Mays said he was going to get revenge. Revenge is going to be served really, really cold.

Not directed at you directly but personally I think people get hung up on draft labels way too much. After a player's second season it doesn't matter anymore where he was drafted. At that point when he is going into his third offseason a players value is solely based on what he is and where he was drafted is completely irrelevant.

He can't play safety. He can't play linebacker. Is he going to play DL?

He's not Jemarcus Russell, can't play DL

 

[Deus Irae]

He's not Jemarcus Russell, can't play DL

Even though it's just a tryout situation, the only thing that makes sense about this, to me, is the possibility that BB wants to see if he can possibly be coached up to play the Patrick Chung position. If that's BB's thinking, good luck to him trying to teach this guy.

Wouldn't put anything past the Cheatriots. That player will be a beast with their perfectly cooled Gatorade.
