As the eighteenth overall pick in the season 2 draft, there were moderate expectations for Owen Taylor. His performance though, was nothing less than disappointing. Finishing with just 23 tackles, 7 tackles for loss, and 5 sacks despite starting all 14 games, many in the Hawks front office were concerned they had a bust on their hands. Luckily, Taylor spent his offseason working to better himself every day and rewarded them for their patience. He finished the season with 39 tackles, 12 tackles for loss, 13 sacks, 1 forced fumble, 1 fumble recovered, and 1 safety, earning his first pro bowl appearance. Then, came the question Taylor thought he would never hear, he was approached by the Hawks front office with the request that he change positions to running back.
What’s a man to do? He just spent his entire life busting his ass to become the best defensive end possible, but with former offensive rookie of the year, Darlane Farlane, all but disappearing, the team needed a solution at running back. After all what’s the ultimate goal of every player in the NSFL? The Ultimus. If this was how Taylor made his impact on the team, it’s hard to say no. After many sleepless nights, Taylor made the decision to move to running back and his life would never be the same.
