I'm sure there are many others. I feel like players like Terrelle Pryor and Julian Edelman kind of set the stage for moving guys that weren't going to be NFL QBs to other positions but Taysom has blown it wide open. I think going through the histories of many NFL players going back to high school, so many of them were by far the best overall football players on their teams or even in their counties. Then in college the competition levels out a bit and it obscures that more.
What I think the problem is that scouts aren't looking for that and players that are fringe players on their own positions aren't being advised to position themselves the way Taysom did when he got to the NFL. Taysom wanted on the field and did whatever he could to do so and it started with special teams and he ended up being one of the most valuable players on the team. I don't know what it'll take to get guys into that mentality, or their agents for that matter. But Taysom just being a great overall football player and having the right mentality took him from a fringe practice sqaud QB into many high $ contracts. I honestly hope more guys can figure it out.
