Versatile safety Jason Taylor II uses football to honor late father

Related Topics: Jason Taylor

Oklahoma State safety and NFL Draft prospect Jason Taylor II is a versatile defensive back who logged a significant amount of snaps in the box, as a free safety and covering the slot during his last two seasons as a Cowboy. His experience playing multiple roles makes him a good fit in Las Vegas Raiders defensive coordinator Patrick Graham’s system, but Taylor II never would have picked up a pigskin if it weren’t for his father who bore the same name.

In fact, the younger Jason didn’t even know he was on his way to his first practice when his dad took him for a car ride one day at seven years old.
