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.

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.
