He gets zero respect on NFLN. They are only covering LT, Warner and Davis. Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk
Are you there in Canton Dirty? Here's the speech for everyone else- http://www.nfl.com/videos/nfl-hall-of-fame/0ap3000000826283/Jason-Taylor-s-Hall-of-Fame-speech
It always comes down to Mama don't it. Congrats to one of the best to ever wear the aqua and white, and every now and then orange!
I think if JT played now, they would make him a TE, even at the earlier football stages, there being such a focus on the TE position these days, and I wonder if he wouldn't have made it as a TE? When you see all those INT's, fumble recoveries, TD's, it doesn't look like a defensive player with the ball, the dude was a fast, quick twitch, ultra body control athlete, runs like a deer, huge(for a would be TE) and had moves. So really, who's covering JT? lol, a slot CB comes up to his waist, not many DB's have the size actually, and very few LB's would be able to stick with him, he could have been Gronk before Gronk. The best athlete to ever play the position imho.
He had the best speech... kurt warners speech sounded way too rehearsed and hollow... he decided to quit stocking shelves after running into a box of cereal... ok..
It's not just a box of cereal. It's Dan Marino's Wheaties. I wonder how many hall of fame players were inspired by Michael Jordan.
I was going to bed at like 4 AM last night and decided to look at Facebook to check in on a sick friend. And to my surprise, it said one of my Facebook friends was live- it was OJ McDuffie at Jason Taylor's HOF after party. He was just wandering through the crowds, taping everyone that was partying and having a good time. I laid in bed watching for about 30 minutes just smiling and feeling like I was a part of JT's exclusive celebration- Not sure it will embed but here's the final clip he decided to keep online-
