My Take
Tyrod Taylor is exactly the kind of pro athlete I find more compelling than the headline stars. A sixth-round pick out of Hampton, Virginia in 2011, he was never anointed, yet he has carved out a long NFL career as a quarterback by being smart, mobile and stubbornly reliable. At 185 cm he is not physically imposing for the position, which makes his survival across so many teams a testament to football intelligence rather than raw gifts. Lasting in that league is its own achievement, and I respect the grind of a man who keeps proving he belongs more than the flash of an effortless prodigy.
