Get To Know Defensive Lineman Phil Taylor

The Washington Redskins signed last Friday signed defensive tackle Phil Taylor to a Reserve/Future contract.

The Washington, D.C., native is a former first-round pick out of Baylor who was drafted by the Cleveland Browns in 2011.

Taylor played four seasons with the Browns and accumulated 109 tackles and 7 sacks in 44 career games.

His rookie year was by far his best, as he was named to the PFWA All-Rookie Team.

Taylor was released by the Browns after he was sidelined with knee injuries and couldn’t get healthy after the 2014 season (he appeared in just 26 regular season games from 2012-14).
