Taylor was one of the first major offensive play-makers in franchise history as he played his entire 10-year career with Kansas City. The one-time Eagles draft pick made three different Pro Bowl teams and still holds team records in career receiving yards and career receiving TDs for a wide receiver with 7,306 and 57, respectively.

The 6-foot-3, 215-pound Houston, Texas native was also known for his versatility as he was a solid blocker and was also utilized in the ground game, as he rushed for 161 yards and three touchdowns during his brilliant career.

All of these accomplishments aside, the Evan E. Worthing High product is likely most remembered for coming up clutch in a number of playoff games for the Chiefs during his time with the team. This included Super Bowl IV, where he racked up 81 receiving yards and scored a decisive touchdown against the Vikings that helped seal the deal and give KC their first and only Vince Lombardi trophy to this day.

Taylor was inducted into the organization’s HOF in 1982 for his efforts.
