Tyrod on player safety, LIGHT helmets
Tyrod has been a proponent of player safety for a very long time. His partnership with the LIGHT Helmets is proof. In order to prevent injuries, he stresses the importance of high-quality equipment.
*”LIGHT helmets have been a great partnership,”* Taylor stated. *”I’ve been able to learn the brand but at the same time, protect myself. I have worn the same style of helmet for many years, up until I changed my helmet … As I’ve played and progressed each year I’ve tried to find better ways to protect myself … it starts with the helmet. I was looking to make sure that my chances of a collision were as good as possible. After doing some research and trying the helmet out, I found it to be one of my most comfortable helmets. The research must also support the actual technology.”*
Taylor went on to explain the value of partnering up with a business that emphasizes player wellbeing:
*”It means a lot to me … I’m always trying to find ways that I can get better. I’m looking into getting a better helmet to protect myself. I also felt it was important to change the helmet for my own protection, as well as to help the students in my school and hometown. It was great to be able partner with LIGHT Helmets in order to get new helmets for them. The information you provide should be shared with others.”*

## Addressing Quarterback Slide Replay Assist
Taylor shared his thoughts on NFL’s recent decision to introduce replay assistance for quarterback slides.
*”I think as a quarterback it’s on us to get down with enough time. Depending on who is the quarterback, some people will get specific calls. It’s the nature of football. It’s up to us, I believe, to protect ourselves.”*
Taylor did not mention Patrick Mahomes by name, but he hinted that quarterbacks who are stars might be given preferential treatment in these cases. Taylor called for a more uniform application of rules in order to be fair for all players.
Aaron Glenn is the new Head Coach
Taylor has expressed his excitement about working with Aaron Glenn, the Jets’ new head coach in 2025.

Taylor’s View on Aaron Rodgers Departure
Taylor also spoke out about Aaron Rodgers’ departure and defended his leadership, character, and integrity.
*”I have nothing but respect for Aaron, he is one of my good friends in this league, and we have only known each other for a year closely. “I have nothing but admiration for Aaron. As talented as they come, and as upright as you can get.”*
Taylor stated that Rodgers’ departure was an agreement between both parties.
*”Sometimes teams have a different vision about where they want to go. It was not necessary for me to have been present during that discussion. It is likely that there was a discussion about the vision of the team and both parties decided it would be best to separate. That’s not who I think he is.”*
