Otis Taylor (born August 11, 1942, in Houston, Texas) was an American college and professional American football player, for Prairie View A&M University and the American Football League's Kansas City Chiefs.
Standing 6-foot-3 and weighing 215 pounds, Taylor and possessed sure hands and served as a devastating upfield blocker, springing Chief running backs for many long runs.
Taylor was drafted by the Chiefs in the 1965 AFL Draft, as well as the Philadelphia Eagles in the 15th round of the 1965 NFL Draft. Taylor caught five touchdown passes during his rookie year, and followed that up in 1966 by leading the AFL with a 22.4 yd/catch average. (57) and 100-yard games (20), and was an All-Star three times.
Taylor combined with running back Robert Holmes for the longest reception in Chiefs history in 1969 when he caught a pass for 79 yards, then lateraled to Holmes, who carried it another 14 yards for a touchdown. However, Taylor's most memorable highlight from that season came in Super Bowl IV on January 11, 1970, when he caught a short pass in the flat, turned upfield and stiff-armed his way to a 46-yard touchdown in the Chiefs 23-7 upset victory over the Minnesota Vikings.
By the time his career was finished, Taylor owned the Chiefs' career records for receiving yards (7,306), receiving touchdowns and was, through the 2005 NFL season, the team's second leading all-time receiver with 410 receptions.
"Otis made my job easy," former Chiefs quarterback Len Dawson said. "If you got the pass to Otis, you knew he'd catch it."
