Leonard Taylor III Summary:

The Positives

  • Decent asset in the run game
  • Reads and reacts well
  • Shows top level burst at times especially to disrupt the run game

The Negatives

  • Hand placement and effectiveness is all over the place
  • Lacks power
  • Struggles to disengage from blockers in the pass rush

Taylor III flashes elite upside at times, but there is a lot in between. His burst against the run is insane, but the same is not said in the pass rush. It is an odd instance where a thinner D-Line is actually far better against the run than the pass. His strength is really lacking, as is his hand usage. There is a ton of potential, but he also needs a ton of development.
