Fred Taylor At Practice

Fred Taylor is taking a break from his South Florida workouts to join the team and the new rookies at practice this week. Taylor will participate in four of the volunteer workouts this week, then head back to do his personal condition, before returning to Jacksonville for the mandatory mini-camps on June 6-7.

“I’m a veteran. This is ‘veteran camp.’ I just wanted to come back and be with the team,” Taylor said following practice.

Just a few weeks after Fred Taylor said he only plans to play football until he passes Jim Brown on the all-time list, he had this to say:

“These next two years, of course; a third year, we’ll see,” Taylor said when asked how long he intends to continue playing. “I do love this game. Maybe I’ll try to get into the top five (all-time rushing leaders).

“I feel I can play as long as I want. When I come out here, I get excited just being around these young guys,” Taylor added.

Speaking of the young guys. Jack Del Rio asked Fred Taylor and Mike Peterson to speak to all the rookies about how to handle the media and fans. Fred is a great person for this. He has a wonderful relationship with the media.

The Jaguars in Recent Power Polls

Sites like ESPN and Sportsline are coming out with their NFL Power Polls this week. The Jaguars are getting a ton of respect from the national media. CBS ranked the Jaguars #3 overall and ESPN ranked the Jaguars #5. The high ranking is mostly attributed to the excellent running game anchored by veteran Fred Taylor.

Fred Taylor may be old by running back standards, but he shows no sign of slowing down. Fred’s been working out hard this off-season in South Florida just like has has the past few years.  Taylor wants to come into camp strong and ready to win a Superbowl. The Jags are a trendy pick this year for the Superbowl, so let’s just hope it doesn’t get to their players’ heads.

The Jaguars OTA practice schedule starts today. The practice isn’t open to the public, but Fred Taylor will be there.
