He is 27 yr, 6'7" and weighs 27. I do not know much about him or if he is healthy.

Defensive end Devin Taylor had 11.5 sacks in 31 games over the past two seasons, but he wasn't able to earn a spot on the talented New York Giantsdefensive line.

Taylor, who signed as a free agent with the Giants this offseason, was among the team's cuts Saturday as it moves to get down to the 53-man roster limit by 4 p.m. ET, a source told ESPN's Adam Schefter.

The Giants are deep at defensive end with Jason Pierre-Paul, Olivier Vernon, Romeo Okwara are locks and 2017 fifth-round pick Avery Moss on the depth chart. Also veteran Kerry Wynn solidified his roster spot with a strong summer.

Taylor, 27, started 16 games for the Detroit Lions last season, starting opposite Ezekiel Ansah. He had 28 tackles and 4.5 sacks in his first year as a starter. He served as a reserve defensive end for most of his four years with the Lions.

Bring him in pick his brain about NYG and also see if he has anything. if he has anything I would rather have him at LDE than Craw and kick craw back to the inside.

He's a pass rush specialist it seems, would be a really good rotational guy. One we would need in the first few games of the season.
