The Pittsburgh Steelers have cut wide receiver Roc Taylor as part of a slew of moves, the team announced on Monday. Taylor had some flashes of talent throughout training camp, but has failed to develop enough consistency to try and earn a roster spot.
The Steelers signed Taylor as an undrafted free agent out of Memphis after the NFL Draft. He was in the team’s X-receiver competition to try and make the roster.
Taylor stood at 6-foot-2, 213 pounds at the NFL Combine and ran a 4.49 40-yard dash. He added a 30 1/2-inch vertical and a 10-foot-2-inch broad jump.
At Memphis, he had a productive final two seasons, posting over 900 yards in each season. In 2024, Taylor had 66 receptions for 950 yards while adding two touchdowns. 2023 was his best year, posting 1083 yards and four touchdowns on 69 receptions.
Overall in his career, Taylor had over 2000 yards and played in 44 games. He played with wide receiver Calvin Austin III during his time at Memphis.
Taylor struggled to prove himself consistently and missed most of the spring with an injury. With him now cut, it will open the door for others such as Max Hurleman, Ke’Shawn Williams, and others to earn more snaps in his absence.
