"Alontae Taylor is listed at 6'0" and 199 pounds, which may not sound like a big deal, but we as fans have watched enough football to know the receivers keep getting bigger and faster, so a corner has to have good size. At that height and weight, Taylor has the size and doesn't need to be protected like a small slot corner."
"In those videos you could see a cornerback who doesn't back down from contact. With 83 tackles, he showed he would stick his nose in there and make a tackle in the run game. Instincts and effort aren't just for tackling, he also had two interceptions, eleven pass breakups, and two sacks."
Alontae Taylor represents a potential free agent target for the Dallas Cowboys defense. Standing 6'0" and weighing 199 pounds, Taylor possesses the size necessary to compete against increasingly larger receivers without requiring special protection. His film demonstrates a physical, aggressive playing style with 83 tackles, two interceptions, eleven pass breakups, and two sacks. Taylor willingly engages in run defense and doesn't shy away from contact. His combination of size, physicality, and versatility aligns well with defensive coordinator Christian Parker's defensive philosophy, making him a logical fit for Dallas's defensive scheme.
