The Packers\u2019 odds of losing all three contests were 1-in-250,000<\/a>, yet they somehow did it.<\/p>\n\u201cThat (expletive), it\u2019s starting to get damn-near embarrassing,\u201d safety Javon Bullard said.<\/p>\n
Rebounding won\u2019t be easy as the Packers were hit hard in free agency and didn’t have a first round draft pick.<\/p>\n
Green Bay\u2019s first training camp practice is July 29. Between now and then I will count down the \u201830 Most Important Packers\u2019 heading into the 2026 campaign.<\/p>\n
At No. 25 is quarterback Tyrod Taylor.<\/p>\n
No. 25Tyrod Taylor, QBLast season<\/p>\n
Taylor started four games and played in six contests with the New York Jets last season, completing 80-of-134 passes (59.7%) with five touchdowns and five interceptions. He threw for 779 yards and finished with a passer rating of 72.9 \u2014 the lowest of his career in the years he\u2019s thrown at least 100 passes.<\/p>\n
Taylor also carried 27 times for 143 yards (5.3) and had one rushing touchdown.<\/p>\n
Career to date<\/p>\n
Taylor, now in his 16th season out of Virginia Tech, is the only quarterback in NFL history with 10,000-plus passing yards, 2,000-plus rushing yards, 70-plus passing TDs, 20-plus rushing TDs and fewer than 35 interceptions.<\/p>\n
Taylor has played in 100 career games while suiting up for Baltimore, Buffalo, Cleveland,, the Los Angeles Chargers, Houston, the New York Giants and the New York Jets. He\u2019s completed 1,165 of 1,886 passes (61.8%) for 13,033 yards, 73 touchdowns, 34 interceptions and has a passer rating of 87.7. <\/p>\n
Taylor has also rushed for 2,424 yards and 20 touchdowns on 434 carries (5.6.).<\/p>\n
Outlook<\/p>\n
Packers quarterback Jordan Love has missed two starts due to injury each of the last two seasons and couldn’t finish three other contests. Green Bay had one of the NFL\u2019s elite backups, though, in Malik Willis \u2014 who threw six touchdowns, no interceptions and posted a 134.6 passer rating.<\/p>\n
Willis will be the starter in Miami this season, while Taylor turns 37 the first week of training camp. It would be impossible to expect Taylor to perform as well as Willis did, but the Packers need him to at least be serviceable.<\/p>\n
\u201cIt\u2019s been great. Tyrod is a pro, he\u2019s a vet, he\u2019s been at it for a long time, so it\u2019s nice to have a guy in the room that\u2019s played a lot of ball,\u201d Love said of Taylor. \u201cHe\u2019s been in a lot of different offenses and just somebody that you can piggyback off and pick his brain \u2013 you know, what are seeing out there? What am I seeing? <\/p>\n
\u201cThose kind of things and just have those conversations. Just the way he handles his business, comes into the building and just goes about his work. It\u2019s cool to watch, and it will be great to have him around all season.\u201d<\/p>\n
They said it \u2026<\/p>\n
\u201cThe cool part when he walked in the room, you could feel the presence, the confidence, the composure. He’s seen a lot. He’s been in a lot of different systems, so that part of it just \u2026 how quickly he’s able to pick up on things. He showed up when we’re going right to drills and stuff and he’s a true pro and it was pretty cool to see. As far as the juice, he’s definitely still got that.\u201d \u2014 Packers quarterbacks coach Luke Getsy on Taylor<\/p>\n
\u201cTyrod, yeah, he’s been awesome, man. He’s really come into the room and is absorbing everything. He does have a little bit of familiarity with our system. Obviously, he’s played a long time in this league, but it is good that he was with [Nathaniel] Hackett a couple years ago, or two years ago, in New York, and so it’s not foreign to him.\u201d \u2014 Packers coach Matt LaFleur on Taylor<\/p>\n
\u201cThis is our first time working alongside one another. It\u2019s about learning one another for sure, but also just having open communication whether it\u2019s us watching film, bouncing ideas off one another. On the field, just talking through certain things. I\u2019ve been through a few offenses. I was in this offense a couple years ago. There\u2019s some familiarity with it. Just being able to bounce ideas and keep an open line of communication, it\u2019s been good. Just expect for us to continue further strengthening that bond as the year goes on.\u201d \u2014 Taylor on how he can help Jordan Love at this point in his career<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"Green Bay Packers quarterback Tyrod Taylor is set to begin his 16th NFL season.
