Fred Taylor Wishes He Could Have Played For Mike Tomlin, Steelers Late In Career

Ahead of the highly-anticipated interview on with Pittsburgh Steelers’ head coach Mike Tomlin Tuesday on The Pivot Podcast, nobody was arguably more excited for the chance to sit down with the future Hall of Famer than longtime NFL running back Fred Taylor.

Taylor, who played 13 season in the NFL with the Jacksonville Jaguars (11 seasons) and New England Patriots (two seasons), was like a kid in a candy shop to open the podcast, stating how giddy he was to be able to sit down with Tomlin and chop it up around football.

One day after former Cincinnati Bengals’ cornerback Adam “Pacman” Jones revealed he would have loved to play for the Steelers on the I Am Athlete Podcast with Chase Claypool, Taylor got into the mix, stating to Tomlin that wanted nothing more than to play for the Steelers after the Jaguars surprisingly released him after the 2008 season, cutting ties with one of the greatest players in franchise history.
