Spread option and RPO-heavy systems that emphasize athletic quarterbacks capable of extending plays and creating opportunities outside of structure.
Immediate starter for a team looking for a mobile quarterback to lead a dynamic, run-heavy offense with the potential for occasional deep passes, and can develop into a consistent starter with improved pocket presence.
Pure pro-style, drop-back passing offenses with a strong emphasis on timing and anticipation from the pocket, where his athleticism would be underutilized.
Taylor’s rare athleticism and playmaking ability makes him a scheme-altering talent for teams willing to build an offense around his unique skill set, despite needing refinement in traditional pocket passing.
Relative Athletic Score (Kent Lee Platte) benchmarks combine/pro-day numbers against every measured prospect at the position since 1987. 10.00 is elite; 5.00 is average.
