JUNIOR TAYLOR enters his third season with the New York Jets as an offensive assistant, after originally joining the organization as part of the NFL's Bill Walsh Diversity Coaching Fellowship (2023). Taylor previously participated in the program during the summer of 2020 with the Tennessee Titans.

Across the last two seasons (2023-24), Taylor has helped wide receiver Garrett Wilson notch his second and third consecutive 1,000+ yard receiving season, making him the first wide receiver in franchise history, and the 10th player in NFL history, to record at least 1,000 receiving yards in each of his first three seasons in the League.

Additionally, last season (2024), Taylor helped guide Wilson to career highs in major categories, including receptions (101), receiving yards (1,104), and receiving touchdowns (seven). His 101 receptions were the second most in franchise history behind only Brandon Marshall (109, 2015). Additionally, last season (2024), Taylor helped an offense that produced the only pair of 1,000+ yard, 75+ reception, and five+ touchdown receivers in the NFL (Wilson and Davante Adams).

Prior to joining the Jets, Taylor served as Northern Arizona's wide receivers coach and passing game coordinator, spending four seasons with the program. During his time, Taylor helped his players earn All-Big Sky Conference or All-American honors, with four players ranking among Northern Arizona's top five in all-time receiving yards.

Taylor began his coaching career in 2010 with Mesa High, serving in various roles before being named offensive coordinator in 2016. He was inducted into the Mesa High Hall of Fame in 2015.

An Arizona native, Taylor attended UCLA where he played wide receiver from 2002-06 and graduated with a bachelor's degree in arts history and minor in education.
