In 2007, current Cincinnati Bengals head coach Zac Taylor was in the middle of a pre-draft interview with the Houston Texans. Quarterbacks coach Kyle Shanahan, now the head coach of the San Francisco 49ers, grilled Taylor on a decision he made as quarterback on Oct. 21 in a 22-20 loss to Texas.
With Taylor starting for Nebraska in a game played in the snow, he attempted a post route to wide receiver Maurice Purify. Before the throw, Taylor took a hitch with his throwing motion.
Shanahan recognized that the hitch wasn’t a part of the play, so he asked Taylor why he did it.
