Though he is not listed within the front office of the Pittsburgh Steelers as an official scout, former Steelers cornerback Ike Taylor has been busy on the scouting circuit this offseason as part of the pre-draft process.
In recent weeks, Taylor has been spotted at the Alabama Pro Day and the Miami (Fla.) Pro Day, putting defensive backs through drills under the watchful eyes of not only Steelers personnel, but also scouts around the NFL landscape.
No longer in his playing days, Taylor is still around the game, and is leaning on his understanding of the game and belief in his ability to identify talent as part of his new life’s work.
