Fluff piece? Maybe, but encouraging none the less.

Im surprised (at our depth), Kubiak said. I guess that would be a good way to put it Antowain is a veteran guy that were very excited to get. We think he fits what we do. Then the surprise comes from these young kids. Morency has missed some time, but you look at Wali Lundy, Taylor and Rhodes. Were very, very fortunate to pick these young men up, and they have been a big surprise throughout this summer. Theyre doing a good job.
Taylor (5-11, 220) slipped through the cracks after rushing for 740 yards on 156 carries (4.7 avg.) last year in a spread offense. His compact frame and breakaway speed turned heads this offseason, but hes not taking anything for granted.
This is my type of offense with zones and powers, Taylor said during mini-camps. Im just trying to take one day at a time. Im going out there every play trying to give it 100 percent. Its hard for free agents to make the team normally. So Im just doing my best and hopefully everything will work out.

Lemme see, 5'11" - 220lbs with 4.4 speed...not too shabby. I hope he continues to impress...Chris Taylor, RB, Indiana: Many considered it a travesty that Taylor was not invited to the combine after a terrific senior season. At 5-11 and possessing 4.4 speed, he'll produce at the next level once he adds a little polish to his game.
