NY Daily News: Leonard Taylor was “misused” at Miami

It was the coaches fault they had to beg him to work and put effort in. Two staffs. It was also their fault he blew assignments and played when he wanted to. The excuses for this cat is never ending.
And the feedback those coaches gave on LT to NFL teams certainly didn't move him up their boards. Especially when he validated their comments by testing like he did (testing that low means you either simply don't have the talent or you didn't work hard enough to prepare for the Combine).

He tested worse at the NFL Combine than he did coming out of HS.

It wasn't LT56's fault it was the University of Miami and it's administration and coaching staff that failed him. It was Blake James' fault!
 
Can’t say I agree with this characterization. Seems more like a gifted player who underachieved and received a wake-up call from the league. Glad to see him responding:


He liked video games more than working out. This is stupid.
 
He’s gone, and I’d wager he’ll be out of the league in three seasons. Not counting practice squads.
 
Dude was posting on social media while Kam Kinchens was watching film and working out. Period.

Leonard had a smoke too much weed, play too many video games problem. If he gets addiction counseling help, he could be an all pro.
 
Never the player's fault...that's what's wrong with this country, a lack of accountability. His combine #s and character issues were a reason for his drop in the draft as much as anything. But always looking to bash the Canes.

After we beat the **** out of the Gators next Saturday, these jerkoffs will be all over the Canes' jock lol
 
Pretty fair comments from everyone overall. Poor motor shows up in the film. You can’t hide taking plays off and he had plenty of those on film over his three years here. It’s a shame for everyone. I hope he grows up and maximizes his God given talent. Glad to hear he made the 53.

In all seriousness, LTIII probably had the best overall preseason performance of ANY DT this preseason. LTIII has been truly elite and hopefully, he can carry some of that over to the 53 man roster and some success in the regular season
 
Listen I’m a huge LT I wanted him have all American seasons so they’d sell his Canes jersey. But his motor and focus just wained too much.
