Cam Taylor-Britt's a low-risk, high-reward gamble by the Colts at CB
Cam Taylor-Britt was a 2nd-round pick and No. 1 CB under Lou Anarumo then got benched; what happened: 'Didn’t have anything to do with the coordinator'
INDIANAPOLIS — Cam Taylor-Britt is coming to the Colts with an awful lot at stake. Two years ago, Taylor-Britt looked like he could be a building block in Cincinnati. Drafted in the second round, he’d blossomed in his second season with the Bengals, establishing himself as the No.
1 outside cornerback in Lou Anarumo’s defense. Cornerback can be a volatile position. Taylor-Britt lost everything he’d gained in Cincinnati over the next two seasons.
Anarumo benched Taylor-Britt twice in 2024, and after Anarumo was gone, Taylor-Britt was a healthy scratch at times in Al Golden’s Cincinnati defense before Lisfranc surgery ended his 2025 prematurely. “It didn’t have anything to do with the coordinator,” Taylor-Britt said. “I believe it was most definitely a personal thing with me.
I couldn’t get my head right, and it showed in my game. ” Taylor-Britt didn’t expand much on what was going on with him personally. But there were other things going on beyond the field.
