Dolphins legend Jason Taylor 'in shock' after first-ballot Hall of Fame nod

Jason Taylor, the Dolphins icon who spent 13 of his great 15-year career in Miami, is now an NFL immortal.

Taylor was elected to the Pro Football Hall of Fame Saturday, reaching the pinnacle of a sport that he dominated for more than a decade.

Taylor not only got in, he did so in his first year of eligibility -- to the surprise of many, himself included.

Shortly after the announcement Saturday, which came during the NFL Honors award show, Taylor had a private moment with fellow 2017 inductee Terrell Davis, the Broncos’ great running back.
