T.J. Taylor brings proven ball skills and tackling production to Chattanooga’s secondary
Taylor projects as a steady, playmaking defensive back whose value goes beyond box-score numbers: Chattanooga lists him with 70 career tackles, 4.0 tackles for loss, 2 interceptions and 10 pass breakups entering 2026, and notes a prior season with 52 tackles, 11 PBUs and 3 interceptions, which points to real ball production and reliability in coverage. He looks like a good fit for a defense that wants a disciplined, instinctive DB who can tackle, contest throws and create turnovers without needing the scheme to hide him.
