Seth Keysor already charted Taylor against the top pass rushers he faced last season and compared it to a similar sample from OBJ.
Apparently, Taylor pretty much never lost reps in pass protection. Keysor was raving about how stark the difference was. He wins with his feet and athleticism, which is just the beginning for his potential as his technique improves.
He said too that Taylor’s only real struggle was rushers who could translate speed to power (which is somewhat rare), and even then his losses weren’t THAT bad.
He also can really use his athleticism to get to the second level and pull in the run game, even though he isn’t a road grader.
TL;DR: Taylor is the prototypical Andy Reid OT.
