The Super Bowl champion and one-time Pro Bowler averaged just 43.6 yards per punt last year but set a career-high with 50% of his punts being downed inside the 20-yard line.

Taylor spent four seasons with the 49ers to begin his NFL career, but after two years with the Cincinnati Bengals and one with the Chicago Bears, he returned for the last two seasons. In 43 games with the 49ers, he's caught 80 passes for 742 yards and three touchdowns, but he missed all of last season due to a back injury.
