Tyrod Taylor went to Hampton High School in Virginia where he participated in football by playing quarterback, safety, and returning kickoffs and punts. On September 8, 2007, Taylor played in his first college football game against the LSU Tigers.
He was born on August 3, 1989, in the United States. He was the 2010 ACC Player of the Year at Virginia Tech and was a sixth-round pick of the Baltimore Ravens in 2011. He signed with the Buffalo Bills in 2015.
In that contest, Taylor ran for 44 yards on nine attempts, including his first collegiate score, and completed 7 of his 18 passes for 62 yards.
Tyrod was selected as the starter by head coach Frank Beamer following that contest. Tyrod passed for 287 yards and a rushing touchdown in his first college start versus Ohio.
He led the Hokies to win over Boston College in the ACC Championship Game as a sophomore in 2008. Taylor was going to redshirt when the 2008 season began.
However, his redshirt was removed after Virginia Tech’s defeat to East Carolina University because the Hokies needed more offence.
In his first game of the year, Taylor ran for 112 yards and a touchdown against Furman in the second contest of the year. The next week, he made his debut as a sophomore against Georgia Tech.
The Baltimore Ravens selected Taylor with the 180th overall pick in the sixth round of the 2011 NFL Draft. He was chosen that year as the 11th quarterback.
The St. Louis Rams traded the pick to the Ravens in exchange for Mark Clayton, who was moved to St. Louis. Even though many of the other 31 teams thought he belonged at wide receiver instead, the Ravens started him at quarterback.
Tyrod Taylor’s Wife: Is Tyrod Taylor Married?
Currently, Tyrod doesn’t have a wife. However, he has a soft spot for his partner, Reading, Pennsylvania-born actress and designer Draya Michele.
They met for the first time in May 2020 and started dating covertly after that. In July 2020, the couple travelled to Cancun, Mexico, for a summer vacation. They didn’t make their relationship known to the public at that time.
As a result, their devoted followers began to wonder what was going on between the two. On 3 August 2020, the couple officially made their romance public on Instagram on Taylor’s birthday. His fiancée Michele wrote “a very happy birthday” along with some heart emojis in the post.
