Houston Texans 2021 player profile: G Lane Taylor

Lane Taylor defined all odds as an undrafted rookie when he landed with the Green Bay Packers in 2013. He became a vital piece in helping protect Aaron Rogers for seven consecutive seasons while making 50 career starts.

After missing out on all of the 2020 season, can Taylor define the odds again after sustaining a devastating knee injury?

According to an interview with center Justin Britt on May 20, Taylor brings leadership to the locker room along with former New England Patriots right tackle Marcus Cannon. What Taylor also has going for him is the current offensive line coach, James Campen, was also his position coach with the Packers from 2013-17. Campen was the position coach who helped Taylor develop into a quality starter.

In 2021, the question will be whether Taylor can flourish again under Campen’s direction.
