Just found this on ESPN's review of each college team. Also gives an in-depth preview position by position. (Need an "Insider" subscription, but there is a free trail if you don't have it).

I didn't read the article but it is a pretty good sign if an NFL coach is going to comment on an upcoming senior. That probally means that the coaches around the league are starting to take notice of the senior quarterback.

 
Here is what the article said.......

Callahan brought one of his former bosses in during the spring to get a look at the offense and help fine-tune it. Tampa Bay head coach Jon Gruden, who preceded Callahan as head coach in Oakland, observed Taylor during the spring and was impressed.

"I've seen guys take major jumps in year two as a starter in this system,'' Gruden said. "I think his intelligence, his background, is really going to help him this year. I'm impressed.''

Gruden liked Taylor's demeanor and attitude as he ran the offense with confidence and precision during the spring.

"I saw him making all kinds of throws today -- moving to his right, moving to his left, from the shotgun, three-step drops,'' Gruden said. "I'm impressed with his toughness. He takes hits, he gets up, he keeps playing. He throws a friendly ball. I think the receivers have a lot of confidence in him. He's got a great command of this offense.''

 
Jon Gruden is a coach I have a lot of respect for. If he's saying this about Zac that means a lot to me personally!!! GBR :thumbs

This might be a dumb question but why is Taylor taking multiple hits in Spring practice? Is this to say the O-Line still isn't protecting?

 
It might be to say that Adam Carriker is lining up on the opposite side of the ball from him.... That always seems to make quarterbacks fall down more... dont know what the deal is.
