The summer of 2017 held a lot of promise for Phil Taylor. The Redskins coaches were encouraged with his work ethic and progress. He was working his way back to the football field after a series of injuries in previous seasons and with the team needing a dominant run stuffer, the early results in training camp and preseason games were very positive. However, Taylor faces the toughest obstacles in his career and the Redskins could move on later this summer from the 6-foot-3, 335-pound behemoth.
Taylor was raised in Clinton, MD and lived near the southern end of Andrews Air Force Base’s runways.
