Cooper Taylor is an interesting prospect. The size and athleticism is there, but the experience is what he lacks. Plus, attending a school like Richmond doesn’t exactly help his cause considering the competition pool he played against.
He was set to make a larger contribution in 2014, until an injury ended his season before it even started. As long as he’s healthy, Taylor will be asked to be a major player for New York this season consider the question marks surrounding the two safety positions.
It’s too early to tell what Taylor is at this point in his career, but the Giants must see something they like considering they entered the 2015 NFL Draft with him as 1 of the 2 safeties on their roster. I’m intrigued to see him receive more snaps and be a big player for this team in 2015.
