The thing I like about the South i that people still generally teach their kids good manners. Yes sir, yes ma'am still prevails in large part.  In many other parts of the country kids are raised calling adults 40 years older than them by their first names or "hey you," of just "hey" - and they act as if they are their equal in terms of life experience and maturity. It's refreshing to see young people with manners.

When watching his video, I'm not blown away by his speed. It's good, but not great.

However, his ability to get yards after contact is incredible. He never stops moving his feet and working for the extra gain. There are a number of plays in the Hudl video where he is still gaining yards even as he is falling to the ground. Definitely a Harbaugh type of player.

Agreed.  More quick than fast.  Ability to withstand contact and balance on the other hand ... like very very much.  Sort of like Hart. 

His OL opened up some nice holes in almost all those clips so can't tell how his vision is.

I am curious what division he plays in, in his state i.e. how the competition is. Some of those kids were just bouncing off of him - granted these are highlights but he doesn't go down on first contact.  So like Smith in that regard.

LSU used to do that (and still very well might) and they have had success. I know Fournette is the MAIN BACK there... But prior to him they used to rotate backs.

I see that as a win/win if you have NFL aspirations... Showcase your skills without being a workhorse in college... Look at some of these RB's in the league... A lot of them split time and the NFL is even starting to use that model of multiple backs. I think the grind it out back and then the break-through and turn on the jets back is a solid game plan.

If he's good enough for Harbaugh, he's damn well good enough for all of us.

Welcome aboard, Mr. Taylor. Great things are in your future now that you're under the watchful eye of Jim Harbaugh.
