Tyrod Taylor
Tyrod Di'allo Taylor (born August 3, 1989) is an American professional football quarterback for the New York Jets of the National Football League (NFL). He played college football for the Virginia Tech Hokies and was selected by the Baltimore Ravens in the sixth round of the 2011 NFL draft.
While in Baltimore, he served as the backup to starting quarterback Joe Flacco, including during the Ravens' Super Bowl XLVII victory over the San Francisco 49ers. Taylor was signed by the Buffalo Bills as a free agent in 2015, taking over the starting quarterback duties that season and earning a Pro Bowl appearance. In 2017, he helped the Bills make their first playoff berth in 18 years. Taylor was traded to the Cleveland Browns in March 2018, with the Bills drafting Josh Allen to replace him. Taylor subsequently earned the starting position for the Browns, Los Angeles Chargers, Houston Texans, and New York Giants, but was sidelined due to injuries all four times and replaced by rookies Baker Mayfield, Justin Herbert, Davis Mills, and Tommy DeVito, respectively.
At Hampton High School, in Hampton, Virginia, Taylor was a three-sport athlete in football, basketball, and track. In football, he helped lead the team as a quarterback, while also becoming the team's kick returner and safety. During his four years as starter, Taylor led the team to a 34–4 record. He accumulated 7,690 yards of offense and scored 100 total touchdowns. Taylor passed for 5,144 yards and 44 touchdowns, while rushing for 2,546 yards and 56 touchdowns.
When Taylor graduated from Hampton in 2007, he was rated as the No. 1 dual-threat quarterback at Rivals.com. ESPN.com rated Taylor the No. 3 overall quarterback, while Scout.com said he was the nation's seventh-best passer. Taylor, who is 6'1" and 200 pounds, ran a 4.55-second 40-yard dash.
Taylor narrowed his final two choices down to Virginia Tech and the University of Florida, and chose to attend Virginia Tech.
During Taylor's freshman year, he shared time for most of the season with the junior quarterback Sean Glennon.
Taylor's first action of college football came in the game against the LSU Tigers on September 8, 2007. In that game, he completed 7-of-18 passes for 62 yards, rushed for 44 yards on nine attempts including his first collegiate touchdown. After that game, Taylor was named the starter by head coach Frank Beamer. In his first collegiate start against Ohio, Taylor threw for 287 yards, adding a rushing touchdown.
One of Taylor's early accolades was rushing for 92 yards and a touchdown as well as passing for 204 yards and two touchdowns in leading Virginia Tech to its first victory against Florida State in two decades. The win was the first ever for Frank Beamer against Florida State head coach Bobby Bowden.
