CLEVELAND, Ohio – The Browns traded for Taywan Taylor Saturday. shortly before the NFL’s deadline for reducing rosters to 53 players. The former Titans third-round draft pick comes to Cleveland with two years of NFL experience that includes 29 games and nine starts.

Taylor caught 37 passes for 466 yards and a touchdowns last season with the Titans, and joins a Browns team that left the preseason with questions about its wide receiver depth. Taylor will have to prove he isn’t another question. He had five drops last season in 55 targets, and two this preseason in 12 targets.

Here are three things to know about Taylor:

1. He is versatile.

Taylor was prolific at Western Kentucky, where he became the school’s all-time leader in receptions (253), receiving yards (4,234) and receiving touchdowns (41) over four seasons. At 5-foot-11, 180 pounds, with exceptional speed and quickness, he seemed destined for a slot role in the NFL.

That’s where the Titans used him most as a rookie in 2017. Taylor got 147 snaps as a slot receiver and 97 out wide. When Mike Vrabel took over as head coach last season (with Matt LaFleur running the offense), Taylor was used mostly on the outside, getting 373 snaps wide compared to 71 in the slot.

The Browns have Jarvis Landry handling slot duties with the starting unit, and Rashard Higgins got a ton of slot snaps in preseason. But Higgins’ role figures to be opposite Odell Beckham Jr., at least until Antonio Callaway returns from suspension. That could put Taylor in a backup role behind Landry.

2. He’s fast and quick

At Western Kentucky, Taylor was clocked at 4.33 in the 40-yard dash, then ran 4.5 at the combine, which put him 19th among wide receivers. But Taylor has proven that 4.5 to be an aberration.

Taylor was clocked at 21.44 mph on a 42-yard catch against the Jaguars in 2017. That made him the fastest ball carrier in the NFL through two weeks, according to the NFL’s Next Gen Stats website. His speed on the play finished the season ranked eighth.

There is also Taylor’s quickness to consider. His 3-cone time at the 2017 combine (6.57) was the 10th-best time for a receiver over the previous 10 years.

3. He’s a big LeBron fan

Taylor’s Twitter account (@SilentGrind2) is full of LeBron James. Taylor was cheering on James – and mocking Drake – in 2017 when the Cavaliers were marching toward their fourth straight NBA Finals appearance.

Taylor’s speed even caught James’ attention. After video of Taylor’s preseason touchdown against the Buccaneers (see above) was posted on Twitter, James commented: “SPEED KILLS! Sheesh.”

“I love King James,” Taylor told titansonline.com. “He is one of the reasons I played sports growing up, watching how he goes about work. His whole career is second to none. So that’s always been the guy I look up to. He was my role model growing up. I can’t believe that really happened.”

So expect to see Taylor in the crowd when James and the Lakers visit Cleveland this season.
