SAN FRANCISCO — John Taylor connected again with Joe Montana on Monday night. This time, a Super Bowl wasn’t on the line like their last-minute glory for the 1988 49ers.
“But they always say, ‘Oh, if he didn’t have the surrounding party.’ Well, that’s how teams win. That’s how championships are made – of all different parts, not just one person.” “I never thought I was professional football material,” Taylor said. “I never played wide receiver in any type of organized game growing up. Yeah, in the streets, you played it with each other. But as far midget league and high school, I didn’t play wide receiver until I was in college. I was a free safety in high school. When I went to college, I walked on and said I’m going to try receiver. I never went through what they have now with all the different camps. Mine was just learning on the fly.
“We were on the way to practice for the NFC Championship Game with the Rams down at SoFi, and I was on the bus with him. I introduced myself to him and told him, ‘Brandon, listen, I watched your whole career at ASU. You were a hell of a receiver. This is just my advice to you, and you can take it or leave it: Stop overthinking. Just go play. Let your ability take over.’ ”
