Denver Broncos rookie Jordan Taylor may only be a practice squad player, but without him, the team may have been watching the Super Bowl from home this Sunday.
Broncos quarterback Peyton Manning missed six weeks this season with a foot injury. As the veteran quarterback worked his way through the rehab process, he needed someone to throw to so he could get back in the flow of things. That's when he turned to the first-year wideout.
Taylor had no problem helping out the future Hall of Famer, showing up hours before practice if necessary. The 23-year-old was essentially doing two-a-days down the stretch of the season.
