Per NFL Network’s Mike Garafolo, former 49ers slot receiver Trent Taylor is signing with the Cincinnati Bengals. Taylor had an immediate rapport with Jimmy Garoppolo during the tail-end of his rookie year, but injuries have taken their toll on the former Niners punt returner.
Taylor was never a burner, but he was quick enough to gain separation on the majority of routes under ten yards. Fast forward to 2020, after a slew of injuries — including five foot surgeries — and Taylor was a shell of his former self.
Taylor finished 2020 with only ten receptions on 21 targets.
