ATHENS - Georgia football wide receiver Talyn Taylor spoke with the media this week about his performance against Ole Miss, the Bulldog offense, Jaden Reddell, and more

On how long it’s been since he’s scored three touchdowns and his relationship with Gunner Stockton...

“It's definitely been a long time since then. Probably since high school, senior year. The connection between me and Gunner has definitely grown a lot since I've gotten here. It's going to keep growing every day.

On Gunner’s scramble that led to his second touchdown...

“So basically I just ran my route. I saw Gunner scrambled out the pocket and I had to stay in relation with the quarterback. You know, we practice that, and practice it every day. So, it's not just something that just improvised. We practice that every single day, so that's just when it mattered

On his thoughts on the first touchdown...

“Just my concentration led to it. No matter what, even if it's going to be picked or be tipped, or if it's not, you have to stay focused. On the third touchdown, this is very exciting for us to me, just being able to embrace my skill set and being able to do what I do.”

On staying humble after a big game...

“It really maked me more motivated, to be honest, because now a lot of people know what I could really do, and it's just being able to showcase it every week and every, every game.”

On being healthy and able to make an impact...

Oh, it feels great. Definitely being out last season, being on the side, watching games with the injury, not being able to do anything physically to help the team. It definitely wasn't the best feeling. Now I'm just trying to be healthy week in and week out, just helping the team to the best of my abilities.”

On being a receiver at Georgia...

“Being a receiver here definitely means a lot. It definitely important, you know? We do a lot,of blocking in the run game and obviously a lot of passing game. We don't have the numbers or the stats of some other schools or some other players might doesn't mean that we can’t do the same things. A lot of that is we have a lot of other weapons on offense, too, we have good running backs. We have good tight ends, we have weapons all over the offense. So that's just another plan in place.

On his support system...

“Definitely my mom. She pushed me a lot being young. I definitely questioned a lot about playing football and whether I want to do it or not, but she definitely pushed me a lot to keep pushing and keep grinding. To do things I love to do. Definitely my high school coaches, too. My coaches always had a lot of belief in me. They saw that I could take things to the next level. They just poured into me.”

On Rasean Dinkins...

“Dink is definitely a headhunter for sure. He's definitely around the ball all the time, though. He definitely made plays in the past game, too. You know, he definitely loves football in a good way and in practice he makes plays and definitely in the games too.

On Jaden Reddell...

“Man, Jaden’s Superman. No, he's a freak athlete. You know, he can do things in a run game, in a pass game too. He can also run the ball as well.
