"It’s a huge deal for me personally because you know guys in this league ... guys will play 12, 15 years and never get an opportunity to go to the Super Bowl," Taylor said. "So once I missed that first opportunity, I didn’t know if it would ever come back."

Cincinnati signed Taylor to the practice squad in September, and he played in four games during the regular season. Taylor has handled punt returns in each playoff game — the first three of his career — and knows he'll be playing in this Super Bowl.

"Actually playing in the game, it's going to be a huge deal for me," Taylor said. "I'm 100% looking forward to it and so thankful for another opportunity at it."

Taylor’s not the only one feeling lucky this Super Bowl at SoFi Stadium in Los Angeles.
