Cooper Taylor brings rare size, proven ball production, and a pro-grade pedigree
In the 2012 season, Cooper Taylor was a first-team All-CAA safety for Richmond and a consensus All-American after posting 78 tackles, 5.0 tackles for loss, 1.5 sacks, and four interceptions; his bigger-than-your-average-DB frame at 6-foot-5 and 235 pounds gives him a matchup-proof edge. He stands out as a physical, disruptive defender with strong instincts and playmaking chops, plus a history of overcoming a heart-condition-related transfer from Georgia Tech. If your team wants a tough, versatile defensive back who hits like a linebacker and has already been battle-tested at a high level, he’s a very attractive fit.
