Georgia football finally has a true No. 1 WR

The Georgia Bulldogs' offense was clicking on all cylinders last week against the Mississippi Rebels. The Bulldogs were able to put up a lot of points, defeating the Rebels 42-7. A major contributor to their great performance was wide receiver Talyn Taylor.

Taylor had a superb game, catching four passes for 140 yards and three touchdowns, leading the team in receiving and averaging 35 yards per reception. Georgia scored six touchdowns, and Taylor accounted for half of them. Taylor has been a playmaker for Georgia this season. He's got an increased role from last year, and he's taking advantage of the opportunity. Taylor is emerging as a No. 1 wide receiver for the Bulldogs.

Taylor is a dynamic receiver who can excel in space against zone coverage, while also using his athleticism to catch the 50/50 ball. He can create separation against man coverage and get a lot of yards after the catch, making him a tough player to bring down. His deep-threat ability has been key for Georgia, as he has multiple touchdowns of over 40 yards. One of which was against the Rebels last week in the first quarter, catching a 58-yard pass for a touchdown and he also had a 65-yard touchdown reception in the fourth quarter.

Taylor leads the team in catches with 25, and he's logged 426 receiving yards and six touchdowns so far this season. He's been an X-factor for the Bulldogs this year, and is a player to watch out for as the season progresses into the College Football Playoff soon.

"He's one of the hardest workers in practice I've been around, and he runs the same speed all the time," Georgia coach Kirby Smart said on Taylor after the Ole Miss game. "And people don't give him enough credit, but he's stepped up as a gunner and he's done some things with KJ (Bolden) being out, which has been tremendous. So Talyn's a worker, he loves football. We love coaching him. Like, Coach (Mike) Bobo works with him. He and Coach (James) Coley work with him every day because he's a special talent at getting open."
