The 49ers selected Taylor in the fifth round (No. 177 overall) of the 2017 NFL Draft out of Louisiana Tech. He spent his first four NFL seasons with San Francisco, although a foot injury sidelined him for the entire 2019 campaign. Taylor later signed with the Cincinnati Bengals in 2021, where he played two seasons, before spending 2023 with the Chicago Bears. He returned to the 49ers in 2024.
During his final NFL season, Taylor appeared in two games for San Francisco, catching one pass for 11 yards. On June 3, 2025, the 49ers placed him on injured reserve with a back injury, causing him to miss the entire 2025 season.
Over seven active NFL seasons, Taylor appeared in 80 games, making three starts, and totaled 88 receptions for 845 receiving yards and three touchdowns. He also contributed on special teams, finishing his career with 1,051 punt return yards and 106 kick return yards.
