Taylor’s criminally underrated career includes being the first player after the merger to top 1,000 yards receiving in a season. Taylor, who was also one of the greatest players in AFL history, helped the Chiefs capture the franchise’s first Super Bowl (and the final game played before the merger) with his game-clinching touchdown in Super Bowl IV.
Jason Kelce acknowledged he is a big fan of the pick during a discussion with his brother, Travis, and Chiefs guard Trey Smith in a recent episode of the “New Heights” podcast.
The elder Kelce brother referred to Simmons’ tape from his lone season at Ohio State as “absurd” and had a lofty comparison for the 22-year-old rookie.
