Late riser: Taylor Price of Hilliard has up the NFL draft charts

[scpanther22]

He always said he would play pro ball eventually," said his mother, Kim Price-Sheehan. "He lived and breathed (sports) - he never watched a cartoon, ever. It was always ESPN. I was watching Two and a Half Men the other day, and he came in and said, 'What's this show?'"

The CBS sitcom has been on the air since 2003.

"Sports has been his life."

He is projected as a third-round pick, and Price-Sheehan said the Carolina Panthers in particular have shown a lot of interest.

i want him.

[Ricky Spanish]

this isn't me hoping on the bandwagon by the way, i've wanted this kid for a while now.

[Nicbsbll2]

Besides the Tennessee game, are there any other highlights of this kid out there? I'd really like to see more than that one game to be comfortable with us drafting him..

[Ricky Spanish]

i have been unable to find more film on him, but everything that I've read about him is positive:

per espn insider:

[scpanther22]

I wonder if this means were going DT in the 2nd??

I also think this could make some other team reach for him

[Samuel L. Jackson]

Drew Carter 2.0

[SorthNarolina]

I've been pretty high on him for a while, I put him in a lot of my mock drafts.

I like him as a 3rd I don't know if I want him as a 2nd.

Drew Carter 2.0

What do base your opinion on?

Just asking....cause I don't see that at all.

Fast, average hands, cool guy, but not a great football player at the next level...

Sorry, but a lot of WRs are overhyped and underhyped this year...

Fine by me though, because with guys like him getting hype, it means someone that isn't but is deserving (Gilyard, Mitchell) will slide a little...

[panther4life]

I'll take Damian Williams in the 2nd

gilyard apparently can't catch a cold. he lets the ball into his body too much and drops too many easy passes. he's just a beast at running with the ball after the catch/punt returns. i'd say the panthers would go after price over gilyard. great blocker, and great character, exactly what they want. they just signed (The) Brian Williams for punts and or kickoffs so there is no reason they would get gilyard (in my opinion)

[Future of the Funchise]

I think we should just stop all the specualtion and do the scientific thing to find out who we are picking...

Anybody got Ms. Cleo's number?
