Local players hoping to hear their names during NFL Draft

Posted Apr 28, 2007

Like many prospective NFL draftees, Kareen Taylor is going to kick back in a chair and relax this weekend. But unlike many of his colleagues, Taylor won't do so in front of a television as analysts talk about players and rate teams on their selections. He'll sit along the Haw River, business as usual. "I'm going after the big bass -- that's what I'll be doing," said Taylor, a safety from North Carolina. (Durham Herald-Sun)
