Lucas: Taylor Bulks Up, Branches Out

Posted Sep 7, 2006

After bulking up to 250 pounds over the summer, Hilee Taylor has turned himself into an every-down player. "Part of his improvement is maturity," defensive coordinator Marvin Sanders said. "But it's also his body. He's always been slight of build, but now he's maintaining his weight. Now he can hold up that end. Before, he was just a pass rush specialist. Now you can keep him in the game because he can hold up against most tight ends." (Tar Heel Blue)
