Taylor has grown accustomed to being overlooked up to this point in his career. When he was at South Carolina, he played opposite Jadeveon Clowney, the eventual first-overall pick in the 2014 Draft.
Devin Taylor had an impressive seven sacks in 2015 as a rotational defensive end, backing up starters Jason Jones and Ziggy Ansah. With Jones signing in Miami last week, Taylor will get every chance to be the full-time starter opposite Ansah in 2016.
He has come a long way since he was drafted in the fourth-round of the 2013 NFL Draft. As former head coach Jim Schwartz stated when Detroit took Taylor in the same draft that they selected Ansah fifth overall, when you use high pick on a certain position, it is easy to overlook other draft picks playing that same position.
