Defensive End
No. 65
Maryland State
"The move to make Andy Robustelli a full-time assistant coach was made with the happy knowledge that the replacement would be Bob Taylor, who was so savage in executing relief roles as a '63 rookie defensive end. Very willing and quite adaptable, the feeling persists that he'll fit snugly with the defensive patterns because he can absorb complicated play formations so rapidly.
Bob was born in Columbia, South Carolina."
-Don Schiffer, Pro Football 1964
"Another new face on the Giants' defensive front foursome will be Taylor, the board of strategy's pick to succeed Andy Robustelli at the vital end position. Taylor displayed speed and good tackling ability on the kicking and kick return units during his freshman season of 1963.
The Giants' 9th selection in the '63 draft, big Bob was spotted by Giant scouts as he displayed his defensive ability at Maryland State where he played mostly at tackle. Near the end of his senior year, he was transferred to end. An Army veteran, Taylor was captain of the college golf team as well as of the grid squad two years running."
