Tory Taylor

Bears selected Iowa P Tory Taylor with the No. 122 overall pick in the 2024 NFL Draft.

An Australian native with an Aussie Rules background, Taylor (6’4/223) was destined for the NFL from the moment he took the field at Iowa. He earned Big Ten Conference Punter of the Year as a freshman while averaging 44.1 yards per punt and pinning his opponents inside the 20 on nearly half of his attempts. His average topped 45 yards on 162 punts over the next two seasons. In his final campaign, Iowa’s offense redoubled their effort to get Taylor drafted, granting him 93 punts that he converted into 4,479 yards, the current NCAA record for punt yards in a season. Taylor has good size for a punter and it shows in his booming kicks. He is the crown jewel of this punter class.
