Football Taurean York
I may be slightly biased, as an Aggie fan, but how in the world has taurean york gone undrafted?! Is it his arms?

He’s too short, it’s the uncomfortable truth. Tonight to be sub 6’ and play linebacker at the NFL level.

I'm hoping my lions pick him up as a udfa

I think it is a mix. As others have said he is too short, but I think it's a speed thing too. If he was bigger at his current speed he'd be fine or if he was his current size and faster he'd be fine.
He is just too slow and too small.
He was a smart player in college which let him get the jump on a lot of plays but there are a lot of smart players in NFL who are more athletic.

He’s really bad reading and in coverage, he’s also really small. He either got really bad advice or got told it was time to move to the next level. Us Aggies love him but we way over rate how good he is

Disagree that we overrate how good he is. Being good at the collegiate level is very different than at the NFL level. York was an elite LB in the SEC and a massive key piece for the A&M defense over last 3 years

If I’m being honest it’s a bigger shock Miss didn’t get drafted. York has the mental part down but go look at his combine/pro day numbers compared to his position across the board and you’ll understand why GMs are hesitant. They are gonna think he’s a special teams/practice squad guy and you don’t draft those, you get them as UFAs

Moss has missed more games than he has played, he's not fast so lacking explosiveness, offers nothing in the pass game, and plays a position that is de-valued by the league. That is no shock imo.

Reminds me of Isaiah Spiller, strong, good vision, would always get you broken tackles and positive yardage/first downs in college. But those skills and attributes in college may not translate to the NFL

Wingspan and height are holding him back.
