Vincent Taylor Says Call From Miami Was ‘Dream Come True’

Vincent Taylor had his name called by the Miami Dolphins on Saturday in the 6th round of the 2017 NFL Draft. He said it was a world changer for him.

“I’m very emotional,” Taylor told MiamiDolphins.com. “I told myself going through this whole process I don’t care where I go. My coaches told me, it’s not where you get drafted, whether you go first round or second round, what matters is what you do when you get that foot in that door. It was like a dream come true hearing my name called in the NFL draft.”

Taylor was one of two Pokes drafted this year. The other was Chris Carson to Seattle. It’s the first time since …. 2012 …. OSU has had more than one player get taken in the same draft. Taylor noted that he has tried to shape his game after one of his now-teammates.

“Growing up, I used to always tell myself, man, I like the way Ndamukong Suh plays,” Taylor told MiamiDolphins.com. “And I’m not just saying it because I just got drafted by Miami. I’ve been saying that. Every interview I did, who do you model your game after? Who do you look up to? Ndamukong Suh was always that guy I looked up to and for me to be able to be on the same team with him and just learn from him, I’m looking forward to see what God has in store for me and what I can learn from him.”
