I wonder if he would have been better as a 3-4 OLB and bulking up to 250 lbs +. His main drawback was agility for playing so far away from the ball in the NFL. Tough to expect a guy that big (6'3" 236 lbs) to have a ton of a agility and playing in so much space.
He was a stud but PC chose Earl Thomas instead with his first Seahawk draft. Smart move.

Wasn't his career a big disappointment? Like, I recall he wasn't even that great at USC and I think was a total nobody in the pros. Another one of these physical freaks - size, huge speed, etc. - that don't do shit for whatever reason.
Take that back. I think he had a decent career at SC. Finalist for the Thorpe would suggest that. He also has one other redeeming quality:
Mays also said that he models his game after former USC safety and Pro Football Hall of Fame safety Ronnie Lott and the late Washington Redskins safety Sean Taylor: "He's been my favorite player. I look up to (former USC safety) Ronnie Lott, too. That's what's special being in this program, living up to the safeties here."

But the hype was huge, and understandably so. There are not a lot of football players with real and documented 10.5 100 meter speed. A lot of people who claim it, but not a lot of people who actually have it. He did, and that size it's pretty incredible.

He was overrated. As someone above posted, he could have been a pretty awesome linebacker. He was horrible in space as a safety.
From what I remember he was one of those guys who was actually better in his first couple years of college then coasted on it despite regressing. Showing up at the combine 6'3 230 and running a god damn 4.43 yet still going deep in the second round shows how questionable he was as an NFL player.
“Ever since January when Pete Carroll took the Seattle Seahawks job, Taylor Mays said he had been thinking he would only have to drive a few miles over a few bridges from Seattle to Renton, Wash., to meet the press after being drafted into the NFL.
So when pick after pick was announced and his name wasn't being called, Mays sat in front of the television, stunned, and he started to blame Carroll for his plight.”

He was pretty good but that D was so stacked. He certainly never had to put them on his back.

He has a mentor in Richardson.
He is going from CB coach to DBs coach and Mays is coming in for Safeties. This means that Richardson will oversee all 5 DB positions and Mays will focus on the 2 safeties.

he was a 4-time all American, the last 3 years at USC he was 1st team AA. Yeah, that’s bad…..
