Dolphins huddle with UF’s first-round tackle who underwent an extreme transformation
Roger Goodell will call Jawaan Taylor’s name early in Round 1.
The stud right tackle out of Florida hopes to go in the top 10, and he definitely would be an option at 13 for the Dolphins, who have interest. Chris Grier made meeting with Taylor one of his first priorities of Combine week; Taylor visited with the Dolphins on Tuesday night.
But whenever Taylor comes off the board, it’s only possible because of a lifestyle choice he made the summer before his senior year at Cocoa High School on the Space Coast.
Taylor weighed a whopping 383 pounds, and Gators coaches said he was simply too overweight to get a scholarship at UF.
