Taylor Potts was a high-volume, high-touchdown Texas Tech quarterback
In the 2009 season, Taylor Potts emerged as a classic Texas Tech air-raid QB: he threw for 3,440 yards and 22 touchdowns, then followed with a 372-yard, 2-TD Alamo Bowl win that earned him offensive MVP honors. His biggest differentiators were size, poise in a pass-heavy system, and proven big-game production, including a 456-yard, 7-touchdown breakout against Rice in 2009. He is best viewed as a rhythm passer who can run a prolific passing attack, though his decision-making could be streaky at times, as shown by interception totals earlier in his career.[2][8][17]
