The San Francisco 49ers 2017 fifth-round draft pick has gone from Kyle Shanahan’s draft crush to wide receiver coach Wes Welker’s pupil. Taylor finished his rookie season with 430 yards and two touchdowns on 43 receptions. In 2018, on 19 fewer targets with three quarterbacks, Taylor finished with 26 receptions for 215 yards and a touchdown.
Taylor is competing to start in the slot for the 49ers and as the teams punt returner as well. Early on in his career, Taylor has consistently moved the chains. Thirty-nine of Taylor’s 69 career catches have gone for first downs.
