Like most late-round draft picks who will be trying to make 53-man rosters, Las Vegas Raiders rookie Trey Taylor will be challenged during training camp this summer.
Yet, his college coach has no doubt that Taylor, who the Raiders selected in the seventh round after he won the Jim Thorpe Award (which goes to the nation’s best defensive back) will be mentally prepared for the NFL game.
“He is very poised and he is not going to have any problems (adjusting to the mental aspect of the NFL),” Air Force head coach Troy Calhoun told Silver and Black Pride in a phone interview Monday.
