Taylor Mays is ridiculously fast

did you see the notre dame game where clausen went deep to golden tate? tmays tried to land "the big hit" but missed and tate caught the ball. he could have batted it away from tate's hands but tried to land a highlight big hit and tate held on.

I did see that. He clearly didn't have a play on the ball.

By the time he got there, the ball was already floating into Tate's hands and his best option was to try to dislodge it. He did the right thing.
