The only reason this guy gets the accolades is because of his size and speed. The only time he does anything is if someone is coming over the middle. How is he a 1st Rd. pick is beyond me. He sucks.

I'm sure there's people that will disagree here but IDGAF.

This is my second time watching him this season but he doesn't look very sharp. I completely agree with the commentators about him not playing angles right. He's always looking to make the big hit though. Very landry-esque

And his speed is largely exaggerated.

and most importantly, he plays for usc.

i was waiting for to see that "sub 4.3" speed in action when he was chasing the wr from behind or trying to beat the RB to the goaline. but of course it never happened.

when you compare his media hype to his actual on the field performance, mays has to rank as one of the most overrated college football players in recent memory.

He's just like Laron. Big hitter, freak athlete, but gets out of position and lacks ball skills.

Is a PERFECT example of why guys like SFP put wayyyy too much stock in combine results.

The speed and athleticism is fine and I'm sure he'll start in the NFL for multiple years, and maybe even get things going and be really good, but you have to be able to do a whole lot more than just run really fast and jump really high.

Taylor Mayes is Roy Williams revisited.

Great hitter, great vs. the run, liability in coverage.
