Jim Taylor was not just an outstanding LSU Tiger, but also a tremendous Green Bay running back.

A physical aggressive player on every level.

Jimmy Taylor is a true Baton Rouge legend. He gets overshadowed because Billy Cannon came right behind him, but he’s Baton Rouge through and through.

He grew up in the neighborhood just West of Dufroq Elementary. He had a paper route all through the matrix back in those city blocks.

He attended BRHS and started his way to glory. He was a multi sports star who hated to lose. At LSU he helped Dietzel’s rebuilding efforts which culminated in a NC right after Taylor graduated.

Of course at Green Bay he was a key player in the Lombardi dynasty. He was all pro of course, but his work ethic and pride helped lead his teams to immortality.

Long live the Taylor name.
