When Stefon Diggs exercised the voluntary opt-out part of last Wednesday’s organized team activity (OTA), the Vikings called on one of Gary Kubiak’s favorite overachievers to do some extra running with the first-team offense.
Jordan Taylor, the overachiever, joked that he’s pretty sure Diggs’ starting job is safe when he returns.
Then he eloquently and succinctly expressed a primary key to lasting four years as an undrafted NFL player.
“My job,” he said, “is to be available anywhere they want me.”
Kubiak, the Vikings assistant head coach-offensive advisor, was Broncos head coach when Taylor came out of Rice in 2015.
