Darrell Taylor is a full grown man. The Seahawks needed an edge rusher early. Lots of 12s might have wanted Seattle to take Yetur Gross-Matos or A.J. Epenesa. Seattle didn’t. But Darrell Taylor might just end up being better than both of those players. And Taylor won’t have anything stop him from reaching his potential.
There were times early in his college career at the University of Tennessee where Taylor might have felt like he was making plays all on his own. Think of him in terms of the way Jadeveon Clowney nearly single-handedly beat the 49ers in week 10 in 2019.
