GAME FILM
​#1 LEVONTA TAYLOR VS ​ WAKE FOREST (2018)

#1 Levonta Taylor highlights

Strengths: He has tremendous speed that will allow running with most receivers and side-line to side-line. He produces an excellent ability to react to the ball. He uses good footwork allowing his agility to get from Point-A to Point-B. A very twitchy player who will also come downhill and unload. He has the prototypical size for a slot cornerback at the next level.
​
Weaknesses: He never was able to reach his ceiling while at Florida St. Slowed down by an injured knee and a back injury; his potential landed him into a reserve position. It appeared Florida State was hiding him by not allowing him to play against the opposition best receivers. He has some questionable hands in which he could easily correct.​

Draft Grade: 5.45

Draft Projection: UDFA

NFL Comparison: Tony Brown
