San Francisco 49ers: Is Taylor Mays a Diamond in the Rough?

Lost in the 49ers' first victory of the season, and Manny Lawson's and Takeo Spike's beautiful interceptions, just might be the impressive play of rookie safety Taylor Mays.

Since Mays was inserted into the starting line-up three weeks ago, he has not been the liability in coverage as many had feared.

In fact, he has made the sudden and selfish departure of Michael Lewis a moot point.

Mays, originally projected as a first round draft prospect in this year’s NFL Draft, saw his stock fall due to increasing concerns about his coverage ability.
