Sports Illustrated has ranked Tyrod Taylor as the 14th-best backup quarterback in the NFL.
Taylor has lost starting jobs to Josh Allen, Mayfield and Justin Herbert; plus, he was once benched for Nathan Peterman, who then went on to throw five interceptions in one half vs. the Chargers. Taylor has had bad luck and bad timing throughout his 12-year career, but he’s been a serviceable starting quarterback. Taylor completes the routine throws (61.4 career completion percentage) and protects the football (60 touchdowns, 26 interceptions).
