NEW YORK -- For a three-week period in the New York Jets' offseason -- from the Feb. 13 announcement that Aaron Rodgers would be released to the start of free agency in March -- Tyrod Taylor was thought to be a fallback option for the starting quarterback job.
Then came the signing of Justin Fields, who was subsequently pronounced by team officials as their starting quarterback.
Taylor, commenting for the first time since the quarterback shake up, threw his full support behind Fields in an interview on Tuesday night.
