Walk and talk with Tyrod Taylor out of the locker room, toward the weight room at One Bills Drive. It’s a quiet moment in the life of the Buffalo Bills’ starting quarterback. For four years, he was Joe Flacco’s sidekick. A back-up.
Now, he’s in the cockpit of a 5-6 team at a crossroads. Stirring a post-practice shake, he speaks in a scratchy confident rumble.
There have been highs, lows. A sprained MCL, a right shoulder injury. Errant throws, dimes.
Taylor rarely speaks in specifics with reporters, but he makes one opinion clear here.
“I definitely think that I can play – I definitely showed that I can play quarterback in this league,” Taylor said.
