Seahawks looking at new role for Darrell Taylor in Year 2

RENTON, Wash. (AP) — After the recovery from a leg surgery relegated Darrell Taylor to a spectator's role for his entire rookie season, the Seattle Seahawks are trying a different approach heading into his second year.

As in a different position.

Taylor was drafted to be a pass rushing option off the edge, but now Seattle is taking time to see how he may fit in as a strongside linebacker playing on the edge. It’s a position of need for Seattle with veteran K.J. Wright currently unsigned as a free agent, and it appears the Seahawks are going to give Taylor a chance to earn the job.
