What Jets' Tyrod Taylor has learned amid journeyman career

“Obviously, you want to be out there playing, but there’s other ways you can affect the team in a positive way,” Taylor acknowledged, per Antwan Staley of the New York Daily News. “And as I sit and wait my time for the opportunity to present itself, I can’t be a bad teammate. I can’t sulk in what if or what should happen. The reality of it is that I need to be in the moment, and I’ve learned to be more vocal over the years. I think as a quarterback, eyes are always on you. So, how you are when you’re up, when you’re down, when things aren’t going your way, it’s a reflection of your character.”

“I’ve never been one to, I guess, question why my time isn’t right then or right now,” Taylor added during his comments. “It’s more so just preparing myself for whenever it does happen that I make the most of it.”

“There’s an element within him that we also have in Justin that I like a lot,” Glenn said about Taylor on Wednesday, according to Josh Alper of Pro Football Talk. “And the fact that he’s been in this league for a long time, there’s no coverage, there’s no pressure that he hasn’t seen. So, that’s why I have confidence in him, and he’s a very studious person, a good athlete, again, been around this league for a long time. There’s no better player that you would want as your backup quarterback than him at this point in time.”
