UNC standout Taylor looking to carve Panthers' niche


It's hardly surprising Carolina Panthers rookie defensive end thinks too much emphasis is put on a player's height and weight coming out of college. Most undersized players - you know, the ones who don't fit that so-called ideal NFL profile - feel the same way. At 6-foot-3 and 246 pounds, Taylor is considered too small by most NFL standards to be an every down defensive end in this league. (Gaston Gazette)
