You know what time it is... tonight we go to the west coast and check out a player for the ages. Let’s get into our featured player tonight, Brother Brice Union Taylor. #NFLPlayerBlackHistory

Taylor was from Seattle and highly recruited out of high school. Stories say he had like 13 scholarship offers. It wasn’t surprising when you consider his talent. It may be surprising when you consider he was born without a left hand... it may be even more surprising when you realize he was an orphan. Taylor chose to attend USC and became a legend.

The missing hand was a non-factor. Not only did Brice terrorize other teams on defense, he was also a skillful ball carrier running other teams over. He was also well positioned on the USC track and field squad as well winning letters there too.

After graduation from USC, Bro. Taylor would become the head coach and athletic director at Southern University. He would also lead the Jaguars to their first undefeated season in 1931. He would later move back to LA to coach at Jefferson High. 

But Taylor wasn’t just an athlete or a coach, he would also obtain a Ph.D. in divinity and was, for years, a minister at First AME in Los Angeles, California. Was he an NFL player? Nope. But he could been. And it shows that Seattle and differently abled players have a long history. But there is no doubt that as the first USC All American, he is a legend. And he was a great man of @officialoppf. And he is definitely Black History. #ARYEXBHM #SEATTLEHISTORY
