Football card of former Denver Broncos’ split end Lionel Taylor. Taylor was one of the top receivers in the 10 year history of the American Football League, and many feel he should be in the Pro Football Hall of Fame. He led the league in receptions in the league’s first 6 years, and in 1961 became the first player with 100 catches in a season. Taylor had a long outstanding assistant coaching career after his playing days ended, and was briefly a head coach in NFL Europe with the London Monarchs. When Tony Dungy became the first African American coach to win a Super Bowl, he paid tribute to all the others who had paved the way for him but never got their opportunity, mentioning Lionel Taylor by name.
