ORLANDO, Fla. -- Just the mention of Jason Taylor’s name at the Pro Bowl last month brought an immediate reaction from Miami Dolphins Pro Bowl defensive end Cameron Wake.
“Legend,” Wake said. “Jason Taylor, you have to be here for 45-50 minutes on just him alone just to get to the basics of his greatness. You’d have to sit down and do a monologue on him.”
The glow in Wake’s eyes told the story. During the interview, the 34-year-old Dolphins sack leader temporarily went back to his days as an unproven rookie from the CFL in 2009, as opposed to the five-time Pro Bowler that Wake eventually became, in part due to Taylor’s tutelage.
