Taylor is mentally tougher than Crouch. People forget that Taylor wasn't afraid to get hit his Freshman year. Then he got injured. Instead of letting the injury ruin his chances, he played through it. Not many players can do this, and he played with an injury for 1.5 years, and it is STILL there. Do you see him sitting out a snap? No you don't. That kid gets hit and gets right back up. Crouch had a great o-line protecting him, something Taylor has not had the luxury of since he has be...

... been here. You can bring up Crouch raising a family, but what about Taylor's tough upbringing? Crouch had his family to sit on financially. Juggling a family isn't easy with college, but when you have help like he did, its much easier.

I would give the edge to Taylor on the mental toughness simply because of all the flack he's gotten combined with the fact that he's so far from family. Lots of players would probably transfer after the sophomore season he went through. I respect the guy for toughing it out and improving.
