Ramonce Taylor. Surprised to hear his name? Yeah, me too. But according to the ESPN Bottomline, [tag]Ramonce Taylor[/tag] has indeed decided to forgo his last two seasons of eligibility to enter the 2007 NFL Draft.
Is it just me, or does getting arrested for marijuana possession and then missing a whole year at Texas College due to academic eligibility not seem like what NFL scouts are looking for? Ramonce definitely has the athletic talent to play at the next level, I just hope that he can keep his head on his shoulders and forget about the past.

I thought he could be the next “all-purpose” yard guy for us, hell, he already was, but what would have really been nice would be to see him return kicks instead of Ross.

I don’t know so much that it was the weed as it is the crew he runs around with. Recreational marijuana use is pretty common among college kids these days, fights and guns and 4 pound bags of weed not so much.
Even at his best Ramonce scared me on punt returns. Would’ve loved him back there on kickoff returns though.

I agree with you Brian, but speculation about his college career is sadly a moot point now that he will be entering the draft. I guess the question now is who will take him. I’d like him to become a Cowboy, but he would be a better fit with the Bengals, haha.

Ramonce Taylor is a Super Guy with a big heart. If you really knew him you would know he would give you his last. Now this has come back to bite so many times. The great chance is for him to receive as he gives the NFL all he has. Now you know why so many of you or puzzled by his opportunities regardless the cirumstances because you all have never had anything good to happen to you and wish you were popular enough for someone to care when something bad happen to you. Sorry you all are not a Ramonce Taylor and will never understand a blessing. Best Wishes R T take your blessed opportunities and let them shine as you shine with that big smile!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Its so funny to see Ramonce still climbing slowly back into the lime light but when its yours its yours and no one can take that away. What people don’t realize is that a blessed natural talent is furnished by God. God will provide the time and the opportuntiy for his blessing to be manifested. If the reader that was puzzled as why the comparison of Ramonce and Jesus was made, remember that Jesus too was spit on mocked and falsely accursed and died for you and rose with great power. Ramonce to has been spit on mock falsely accursed lifted by man and even right there at the University of Texas when he was scoring TD’s and making Texas look good man praised him and then let him down. But when God raise him as Jesus was raised by God man won’t understand you see you already confused. Be Blessed Ramonce

Ramonce, you hang in there and don’t give up. It takes someone special to go through things, it’s just a test, and hopefully you have passed the test and will continue on. Life has given you a second chance. I have faith in you and there are a lot of others whom have the faith also. Keep your head up high, and always, always listen to your mother, she is your #1 suporter and will always have your back. God is holding her up and holding you up as well. Keep the faith. LOL

He could forget about the past even better if everyone in the media did not continously bring it up. No media, at leat in Austin, reported when he was invited to play in the Senior Bowl(something most Jr.’s don’t get invited to), no one said how he did when he came back to Texas to try out for scouts in the combine and MacBrown said” we will help him where he needs it, but he cannot be part of the team. Which is a good things and at least honest thing to say, at least he commented on the situation.(positively). Try reporting positive things and then see how good Ramonce will start looking. Only positive things should be going on for him now. Things have been decided in the courts, leave them there. Everyone deserves a chance, especially with his talent. LOL

For all you people you has wished the best for Ramonce’please contiue to pray. For you negative people who is wishing he will fall even farther and the one who thinks that this isn’t his first brush with the law please give more details if the information is there for you to give. Otherwise start having dreams of your own stop living thru ramonce failures for your glory. God holds Ramonce in his hand and venges belongs to the Lord and if you are contuing trying to make him look bad give up already . Okay bottom line yes he was with wrong people that would not confess to the truth and they live with that as long as they could until that person decided to commit suicide its called guilt. Ramonce maybe guilty in you negative peoplel eyes but the truth always come out . He may have had to take abuse for the media from you so call know it all amd even the NFL has taken what the people say and media say and got him on hold but this battle belong to the Lord and he will come out on top. Please contiue to watch.

A couple of years later, Cedric Benson also faced some legal troubles, as did star defensive back Cedric Griffin, and who could forget Ramonce Taylor’s fall from grace? (Though Taylor was kicked off the team, he is making himself eligible for next year’s draft.) […]

To the Belton tiger you are a damn lie Ramonce was not a dope dealer in high school. If he was he was poor dealer because he never had money and still do not have any money so if that is being a big dope dealer you need to teach him the ropes on how to get money while selling the dope since it seems like you know so much. Remember he took some white boys to KKK party and one of the boys he took that was already on probation for the dope tell readers where is today …Not in jail but guilt forced him to take his own life so who really got what they deserve… You are rgiht GO BIG RED straight to Hell…….

He’s not in NFL and he has no money or reason to survive so I guess your next wish would be that he just lay down and die. now that being a idiot With whatever his doing let’s finally give a break and leave him alone.

That would be the last thing I would be. Who would be jealous of a man in jail with no respect. The point is people thought he was so great in High School when he was really a thief and a doper.

Me personally, I know R.T. will make it in the NFL and will do well. I Coached this young man and I know him well. We have all made mistakes in our lives, his was just displayed for eveyone to see. Once you become an athlete your life is no longer yours. This is what as athletes fail to realize. There is a large price we have to pay in order to become part of the elite. We can not do what we use to do as athletes, a former brother from the hood or otherwise. I know he will do fine, I believe he has learned his lesson, he is also an individual. We as a part of society needs to recognize that and not be so quick to judge. You can not live in a glass house and throw stones!
