Kelvin Taylor just heard the words that so many of the working class hope for: “You’re being promoted!” In this case, the promotion may not last as long as most, but it sure does pay well.
The Seattle Seahawks promoted the rookie running back to the 53-man roster on Tuesday, likely meaning that Troymaine Pope’s ankle injury is severe enough to end his season. Taylor, son of Jacksonville Jaguars legend Fred Taylor, was a sixth round pick out of Florida this year by the San Francisco 49ers. He was released during final cuts, placed on the practice squad, then released again on November 28.
