Coach Jay Harbaugh on Kurt Taylor
"Kurt is a player who has us excited because of his well-roundedness. He can do a little bit of everything. He's very well put together and well built. He can run inside or outside and get to the edge, and he has the frame and power to be a strong pass blocker as well. Kurt's big strength is that he has a lot of power. He also has vision that, when put into action in combination with his other positive traits, leads him to take advantages of angles and rack up a lot of yards after contact."
