Every time former Virginia Tech quarterback Tyrod Taylor looks like he is about to win a starting quarterback job in the NFL, bad luck seems to follow him.
Taylor signed a two-year deal with the New York Giants this offseason to serve as Daniel Jones’ backup. While he was technically signed to serve as the backup, perhaps no quarterback in the NFL has a more tenuous hold on their starting job than Jones.
Through two weeks of the preseason, Taylor looked like New York’s top quarterback under new head coach Brian Daboll. Unfortunately, Taylor suffered a back injury in the Giants’ preseason finale against the New York Jets.
