Is Otis Taylor In The Hall of Fame?

For all the plaudits during Otis Taylor’s playing days, Taylor continually came up short of enshrinement in the Pro Football Hall of Fame. He was a senior finalist this past year but failed to make it through to the final round of voting.

The Professional Football Researchers Association named Taylor to the PRFA Hall of Very Good Class of 2006.

Taylor was selected in the 15th round of the 1965 NFL Draft by the Philadelphia Eagles. He chose to play in the AFL for the Chiefs where he would spend his entire career.

Taylor combined with running back, Robert Holmes for what was at the time the longest reception in Chiefs history in 1969 when he caught a pass from quarterback Mike Livingston for 79 yards, then lateraled to Holmes, who carried it another 14 yards for a touchdown.
