Owen Taylor had a very successful season 3. He finished with 49 tackles, 12 tackles for loss, 13 sacks, and qualified for his first Pro Bowl in only his second year. Despite making their second NSFC Championship game in two years, it was obvious that some changes needed to be made to replace running back Darlane Farlane, the one-time Offensive Rookie of the Year that had all but disappeared after his first season. Farlane was fully committed to the Baltimore Hawks in season 2, but due to his massive success his first year, he felt like he had achieved all he could in the NSFL and began to look for challenges else-where.

Although he was a very athletic defensive end, he started season 3 weighing in at 320 pounds of pure awesome. He started his season cutting weight during the season in an attempt to become faster and more agile, and by the end of the season, he was down to 285. Unfortunately, that’s still far too overweight for a running back and he spent the rest of the off-season cutting weight and trying to slim down. By then end of the off-season, he was able to cut his weight all the way down to 225 pounds. Although he lost a decent amount of strength, his speed increased exponentially. Look for Taylor to continue to increase his speed and agility as he continues to adjust to his new size and shape.
