Taywan Taylor

WR SR Western Kentucky
About Taylor Updated Jul 22, 2026

Taywan Taylor is a **vertical separator** with real YAC juice and a speed-physicality edge

Taylor’s calling card is clear: he can stretch defenses vertically, create separation with quick route breaks, and still handle traffic over the middle better than many receivers his size. PFF noted his elite deep-threat production in 2016 and praised his ability to read coverages, attack soft spots, and turn catches into extra yardage, while also flagging inconsistent hands and some issues at the catch point. In short, he fits best for a team that values a dynamic field-stretcher who can stress coverage, but you’ll want to live with a few drops to get the explosive plays.
