Notebook: Keith Taylor’s progress, potential safety starters and the benefit of UW’s spring game

Keith Taylor has appeared in 26 games in his first two seasons at Washington. He has made a pair of starts. He has turned in 23 total tackles, four passes defended and 1.5 tackles for loss. His 0.51 yards allowed per coverage snap in 2018 topped all Pac-12 cornerbacks, according to Pro Football Focus.

But heading into his junior season, he’s still stuck on zero career interceptions.

And yet, according to UW defensive coordinator Jimmy Lake, that absence of takeaways is not Taylor’s primary concern this spring.

“I was very pleased with him last year, the games he had to start and step in when Jordan Miller was hurt,” Lake said on Monday.
