Taylor Mays
Taylor Mays (born February 7, 1988) is an American football safety who is currently a member of the Oakland Raiders. He was drafted by the San Francisco 49ers in the second round of the 2010 NFL Draft. Mays won state titles in track in both the 100-meter dash and 200-meter dash as a high school sophomore, before leaving track to dedicate himself to football. He played college football for the University of Southern California (USC), and was a three-time All-American. He has also played for the Cincinnati Bengals, Minnesota Vikings, Detroit Lions, and Oakland Raiders. ==Early life== Mays was born in Irving, Texas, the son of Stafford Mays, a former NFL defensive lineman, and Laurie Mays (née Black), a Nordstrom executive. He is African-American and Jewish and was raised in his mother's Jewish religion. Growing up he attended Sunday school from a young age, and then Hebrew school twice a week.〔(【引用サイトリンク】title=USC Safety Taylor Mays Keeps Education and Football in Sights )〕 He had a football-themed bar mitzvah in February 2001.〔 Speaking of his bar mitzvah, he said: "I don't think at the time I really understood what it meant. Now, looking back on it, I feel like I have come a long way in regards to maturity and becoming an adult. I think it helped me do that". Growing up, he "celebrated Chanukah, Passover, and Yom Kippur always".〔 His father played defensive tackle for the University of Washington in the late 1970s, and was later drafted in the ninth round of the 1980 NFL Draft by the then-St. Louis Cardinals and later played as a defensive lineman for the Minnesota Vikings from 1987 to 1988. His mother worked as an executive vice president at Nordstrom, and his father, Stafford, after football worked as a Microsoft executive.〔 From a young age, Mays always had a deep desire to play football; his father recalls Mays, at age 14, doing homework with his football helmet on. Mays also spent a lot of time as a kid watching old football tapes from when his father played. While his parents initially didn't allow him to play football, he played soccer and was noted as being very physical and much bigger than the other kids which led to his parents eventually letting him try out for the football team in the 7th grade.
