COMARIO TAYLOR
If there was a quarterback pace contest on the Elite 11 Finals, Taylor would undoubtedly be one in every of our prime picks to win it. And whereas his arm power was wonderful, Mississippi State’s energy allowed him to get away with too many throws. Taylor’s total professional day was inconsistent, with a number of vibrant pictures adopted by large misses and even just a few brief passes that he took too far.
