Larry Taylor is a wide receiver and special teams extraordinaire for the New York Jets. Taylor graduated from University of Connecticut and was signed by the Montreal Alouettes as a street free agent in 2008.
In 2008, the native of Fort Lauderdale, Fla., led the Alouettes in punt-return yards with 517 and was sixth in the CFL, despite starting the season on Montreal's practice squad. The 24 year old turned in a breakout performance in 2009 with a league-high 788 yards on 89 punt returns for an 8.9-yard average. Two of his returns went for touchdowns. The five-foot-six, 177-pound Taylor also averaged 20.8 yards on 51 kickoff returns. In addition to being the league's top special-teams performer, Taylor was an East Division and CFL all-star this past season.
Taylor played his college football at the University Connecticut, registering 25 catches for 259 yards as a senior. He also had 31 punt returns for 357 yards and two touchdowns and 11 kickoff returns for 205 yards. Taylor has outstanding speed and quickness and is tough to bring down because of his strength and low center of gravity. He should make a great addition to an already stellar New York Jets special teams.
