Sad News: Miami Key player Died after Suffered a brief illness…
In the New York Jets’ 10-6 victory over the New York Giants in their last 2023 preseason game on Saturday, former Miami defensive tackle Leonard Taylor had a breakout performance. Taylor became an undrafted free agent and signed with the Jets. Taylor’s best preseason performance came by far against the Giants.
In the end, Taylor recorded 4.0 tackles, 1.5 sacks, 1.5 tackles for loss, five quarterback pressures, 1.0 stuff, and a 25 percent win percentage. Taylor finished with 8.0 tackles and 2.5 sacks in three preseason games. According to Antwan Stanley, a beat reporter for the Jets, “Not only should he make the Jets roster, but he is also making a case to get regular-season snaps.”
At last, Taylor is making good on the promise he made to Miami in 2021 as a five-star recruit. Taylor has 64 tackles, 23.5 tackles for loss, 6.0 sacks, 1.0 interception, and 1.0 pass breakup in his three seasons with Miami. 2022 proved to be Taylor’s finest season with Miami as he recorded 24 tackles, 10.5 TFLs, and 3.0 sacks.
Taylor is ranked fourth by ESPN among the Jets’ defensive tackles. Taylor has probably climbed up the Jets’ depth chart based on his performance against the Giants on Saturday and Staley’s remarks. According to NFL Network analyst Brian Baldinger, Taylor has “big upside”.
