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.
