Taylors Nickname, 'Swoop'

The report on Taylor says that he has earned the nickname swoop.

"His nickname is 'Swoop,' " Jackson said, "because he comes down like a hawk out of the air and just swoops down."

I still have a hard time getting over how big this guy is, he really is like a LB playing safety, with the moves and agility of a corner, just sick

Yeah, I was hesitant to say this earlier- but unless Kenechi Udaze or Tommie Harris get 10+ sacks this year... Taylor is a shoo-in for Defensive ROY

I couldn't help but notice how huge he is when the D huddled up against Carolina. He was stood near one of the linebackers and I thought "Damn, that's big!".

And on that first int in the endzone, I thought he was an LB in zone coverage. He's huge.

"Swoop"? He should be called the MONSTER
