ESPN analyst Matt Bowen ranked the former Tennessee standout No. 12 overall as the highest‑ranked defensive back on his list of top 50 free agents. Taylor, who recorded two interceptions for the Saints in 2025, is projected to attract significant interest once free agency opens in March.
Bowen highlighted the Rams as the best fit, citing their need for speed in the secondary after the NFC Championship loss to the Seahawks. Taylor’s versatility—capable of playing outside or in the slot—would complement the Rams’ defensive scheme and give them a hybrid corner capable of disrupting plays.
