He said he would rather make a great block that springs a TD, over catching a TD. That's a guy who takes tremendous pride in blocking. He also stated that he was basically a 6th offensive lineman in high school, playing in the triple option, and that's where his love for blocking came from.
So, while it's true that he brings many other things to the table and isn't simply a one dimensional player, it's not wrong for people to really focus on his blocking talent, because he makes it a point of focus himself.
This is a statement pick then and just keeps getting better by the minute. You win games in the trenches and for him to say things like this is what you want to hear from your players. It is unselfish and it builds the culture of winning. Hearing all the right things from Taylor and his players, i am really excited about the future brother.
