BOULDER, Colo. — He's trying to explain this one-in-a-million shot, and the captivating tale is sounding more improbable by the moment.
Davion Taylor played only one game of high school football. He tried out and was almost cut from his junior college team before a Colorado coach somehow found him while recruiting other players in the talent-rich Mississippi JUCO ranks.
"They told me they wanted me, and I remember thinking, You gotta be kidding me," Taylor says.
He stops there, because to this day, he is still blown away by his remarkable journey from Magnolia, Mississippi, to Boulder.
