Long, disruptive edge defender with proven playmaking instincts
Taurean Mays is a 6-foot-2, 235-pound defensive lineman for Central Arkansas whose profile points to a high-motor, takeaway-minded defender: his high school résumé included 8 sacks, 53 solo tackles, 8 tackles for loss, 4 forced fumbles and 6 fumble recoveries in 2017, and recruiting services listed him as a 2-star prospect with a 247Sports rating of 70. That combination suggests a player who wins with effort, burst, and ball disruption more than sheer size, making him intriguing for a system that values active front-seven pressure and hustle plays.
