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.
