Small Frame, Big Return Juice, and a Game-Changing Spezialist for UConn
Larry Taylor stood out at Connecticut as a quick, high-motor wideout with real value as a punt returner, finishing his UConn career with 25 catches for 259 yards as a senior and 31 punt returns for 357 yards; his ability to flip field position was the separator. He was also productive enough to draw attention beyond college, later earning CFL special teams recognition, which underscores that his biggest edge was not just speed but impact in space. For a team, he fit best as a dynamic role player and return specialist rather than a volume target.
