MAC Alum Jason Taylor Takes His Talents to Canton

Before he became one of the most dominating defensive ends in the NFL, Jason Taylor was terrorizing offensive tackles in the MAC. As a Zip, he recorded 21 career sacks as a linebacker and defensive end. He scored All-American honors as a Junior, and was first team all-MAC as a junior and senior.

Picked in the third round in the 1997 draft, no one could know what kind of NFL career he would have.

After 3 years of production that the Dolphins were happy with from a 3rd round pick, 16.5 total sacks, Taylor went nuts.
