Taylor-Britt also rushed remarkably for 1,030 yards and 16 touchdowns on 117 carries.

Taylor-Britt initially had the ambition to play college football at Auburn. Despite his aspiration and recruitment by the school, he was not offered a scholarship. His desire to continue his football career led him to commit to the University of Nebraska.

As a freshman, Taylor-Britt showcased his skills in both defense and special teams, playing in 11 games. He concluded the season with 12 total tackles, three passes defended, and a recovered fumble while on punt coverage. In his sophomore season, Taylor-Britt started in seven games as safety and three games as a cornerback.

His prowess further radiated in the 2020 season, severely shortened due to the COVID-19 pandemic. Despite the difficulties, Taylor-Britt started all seven of Nebraska’s games and was noted for his 28 tackles, four passes defended, and two interceptions. His feats led him to be named to the second-team All-Big Ten Conference. Eventually, Taylor-Britt ended his senior season with an impressive record of 51 tackles, three tackles for loss, 11 passes defended, one interception, and one blocked kick. This marked his second consecutive nomination to the second-team All-Big Ten Conference.

Taylor-Britt’s college success paved his way into professional football as he was drafted by the famed Cincinnati Bengals in the second round of the 2022 NFL draft. However, adversity struck during training camp, resulting in an abdomen injury that led to Taylor-Britt being placed on injured reserve on August 30, 2022. Fortunately, he recovered and was activated on October 8.

Taylor-Britt made his NFL debut in Week 8 of the season against the Cleveland Browns, and finished the regular season with a promising 36 tackles and six passes defended. His skills shone brightly in the Divisional Round game against the Buffalo Bills when he made his first career interception in the final minutes of the game, propelling the Bengals into the AFC Championship Game, where they eventually lost to the Kansas City Chiefs.

Despite injuries that hindered Taylor-Britt playing some games, the Bengals regarded him as an invaluable asset to the team and named him a starting cornerback for the 2023 season alongside Chidobe Awuzie. Taylor-Britt reaffirmed their decision by recording his first regular-season interception and his career’s first pick-six in Week 5 against the Arizona Cardinals. He continued his streak, intercepting passes in the games to follow against the Seattle Seahawks and later, the Bills.

However, hardship struck again when he was injured in the Bengals’ Week 12 game against the Pittsburgh Steelers. The severity impacted his gameplay, leading to him missing subsequent games due to an ankle injury. Unfortunately, he sustained a quadriceps injury during a practice session, leading to his placement on injured reserve on December 4, 2023. Recovering resiliently, he was activated on December 29, ready to face new challenges in the time to come.
