From patient to playmaker: WR Alex Taylor earns Bill Belichick’s trust, eyes breakout season

Posted Aug 22, 2025
UNC wide receiver Alex Taylor sees his size and ball skills as advantages, calling 50/50 balls "80/20" in his favor. His goal this season is to show that on the field. While the Tar Heels dealt with heavy roster turnover, the receiver group largely stayed intact. Taylor said the group’s bond and new position coach Garrick McGee helped keep everyone together.
