Calvin Taylor Jr. saved his best for last.
The Kentucky defensive lineman recorded 8.5 sacks in 2019, the second-most in the SEC. An unlikely rise for the former basketball player, few predicted the 6-9 pass rusher could ever play in the SEC, let alone at the next level. He made the most of his platform in 2019 but his final professional tryout will likely never take place.
The coronavirus pandemic forced Kentucky to postpone its Pro Day, the final chance for many football players to perform in front of NFL scouts in-person. It’s unlikely that event will be rescheduled prior to the April 23 NFL Draft.
