Built like a LB, hit like a freight train ✌🏻

One of the cheapest, most ridiculous headshots I’ve ever watched. Destroyed his own guy and was flagged even in 2009.

Ah Taylor Mays. Fond memories.

People say Lott and Polomalu were the hardest hitting Trojans of all time, but I think it was Mays...

Raiders failed him. Dude was a bonified safety. Moving him to backer was a huge mistake.

Painful he went to SC, but glad he’s recruiting for uw

he's going to be a great coach

Taylor Mays ran an unofficial 4.24 at the combine - people forget that

That is an incredibly dirty and dangerous hit that not only shouldn't be celebrated but should result in a fine and multi game suspension.

Dude has no awareness. Did more damage to his teammate than the opponent

Easily my favorite USC defender ever.

But couldn’t cover a bed with a blanket. Unfortunately.

I was at a luncheon for the Army All American combine in downtown San Antonio when this happened. It was the Rose Bowl on New Years 2009. This play was on TV a 1000x's that day

Mays couldn’t cover worth a damn, but if he was to get an open shot on you? LIGHTS OUT. I always felt he should’ve been an outside linebacker

Always took the wrong angle.

Textbook targeting but yeah I guess

Nigga would immediately be crucified on live tv if he did ts today😭😭

Just got kicked out of the game. Dirty hit

Easy to make it look like you hit hard as fuck when you take someone’s head off.

Noting like lowering the facemask and targeting . Lol

Nigga card was fucking LIKE that in madden

God he was so awesome. Still don’t understand how he didn’t carve out a long NFL career.

15 yard penalty. First down!

This is the most egregious targeting I’ve witnessed

Nigga KO’ed his own teammate after he put jit lights out

Missed so many tackles

Idk how that team didn't win the natty, completely dog walked Ohio State but then lost to Oregon State the next week lmfao

Right to the noggin. What a great tackle.

Son of Golden Tate #IYKYK

Dirty ass hit but okay

Yo @ShowtimeTate I remember. :))

In the targeting era he’d have been ejected every other week

Yea leading with his head. Gonna hurt himself or someone else

Surprised he didn’t work out

USC got dawgs 🤣
