Special teams is Ryan Taylor's inside track

Posted Aug 17, 2011
Ryan Taylor talks and plays like he belongs, even if he had to pinch himself when he stepped into the huddle on the first day of training camp, listening to Aaron Rodgers call the play and looking through his facemask at Greg Jennings and Donald Driver. “It was almost mind-blowing,” Taylor said. “I almost couldn’t listen to the play.” He hasn’t acted like a wide-eyed rookie since.
