The Kansas City Chiefs obtained Taylor in the third round of the 1981 NFL Draft as the result of a draft-day trade that sent running back Tony Reed to the Denver Broncos in exchange for the 75th pick of the 1981 NFL Draft (Roger Taylor) and a 4th round pick in the 1982 NFL Draft (Stuart Anderson). [3] Taylor would go on to play in 13 regular season games for the Chiefs during their 1981 season. [4]

After being released by the Kansas City Chiefs, Taylor played for the Winnipeg Blue Bombers during the 1982 season. [6] During his time with the Blue Bombers Taylor would wear jersey number 51. [7]
As a free agent, he was signed by the Buffalo Bills in 1983 and on the second day of training camp he injured his knee. He spent the entire year on the injured reserve list and did not play in any pre-season or regular season games for the Bills during their 1983 season.
