2022 NFL Draft Prospect Report: Ja’Sir Taylor

“Ja’Sir Taylor has attracted a vocal fanclub during the draft process, a result of enjoyable tape and predictably strong athletic testing. Taylor is electric across the turf; someone who rarely gives receivers an inch by being able to match them vertically stride for stride. In the slot, Taylor’s tenacity and springy nature allows him to ghost shifty receivers throughout their routes, invading the passing lane and frustrating quarterbacks with his ability to close windows quickly. Taylor inevitably battles against his size and length, and will likely find life tough on the outside at the next level. But the profile he brings to the NFL seems ideally suited to the role of a slot corner who can also be a serious special teams asset. Taylor shined at the Shrine Bowl, and I expect him to continue to confound expectations in his pro career.”
