4 seasons, 41 career pass defenses — the resume of a coverage-first outside CB.
TrendTaylor-Britt by season (Cincinnati CB)
| Season | Tackles | PDs | INTs | FF |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| 2022 | 47 | 9 | 0 | 1 |
| 2023 | 39 | 11 | 0 | 1 |

A 2nd-round pick out of Nebraska in 2022, Taylor-Britt stepped into a starting outside CB role almost immediately. The 9 PDs as a rookie signaled the ball skills, and the numbers have grown each season: 11 PDs in 2023, then 16 PDs in 2024 — the latter top-10 league-wide.
The one number conspicuously missing: 0 career interceptions across 4 seasons. He breaks up passes — he just doesn't catch them.

0 career interceptions on 41 pass defenses — one of the more extreme PD-to-INT ratios in the league.
AnomalyMost NFL corners convert roughly 1 PD into an INT for every 4-5 break-ups. Taylor-Britt's career rate so far: 41 PDs, 0 INTs. That's roughly 4-5 INTs of "expected" production he hasn't captured.
The playstyle reads as a play-the-hands-not-the-ball corner — he's there in coverage and breaks the pass up at the catch point, but doesn't intercept. It's a stylistic quirk that's begun to define his pre-extension scouting profile.
16 PDs in 2024 — a top-10 single-season total at the position, despite no INTs.
MilestoneThe 2024 season was Taylor-Britt's breakout year on pure coverage tape: 53 tackles, 16 pass defenses, 1 TFL, 1 QB hit as the Bengals' top outside CB.
16 PDs in a single season is a top-10 mark league-wide. Combined with the 53 tackles, the year shows a full-snap-count CB who tackled and covered without coming off the field. Pro Bowl chatter would normally follow — except the 0 INTs kept him off the ballot.
Tackle volume up steadily — 47, then 39, then 53. Plays the run more than typical outside CBs.
SplitTaylor-Britt's career tackle totals (151 across 4 seasons, ~38 per season) place him on the higher end for an outside corner. The Bengals have used him as a press-man player who triggers downhill on quick passes and screens.
The 53 tackles in 2024 is more typical of slot/nickel CBs than outside boundary corners. It signals a player Cincinnati trusts in run support against perimeter runs and bubble screens — a value-add beyond the coverage stats.
In the 2022 CB draft class, his 41 PDs through year 4 lead Sauce Gardner and rank near the top of the cohort.
ComparisonThe 2022 CB draft class produced Sauce Gardner (#4 overall), Derek Stingley Jr. (#3), Trent McDuffie (#21), and Taylor-Britt (#60). Through 4 seasons, Taylor-Britt's 41 PDs ranks at or near the top of that class — Gardner has around 38, Stingley around 25.
The gap between Taylor-Britt and the top-of-class names is the INT column: Gardner has 9 INTs, Stingley has 5, Taylor-Britt has 0. Coverage volume is comparable; turnover-creation is not.
Currently on RES — 2025 was cut short by injury after 6 games of 12 tackles, 5 PDs.
RareThe 2025 line — 12 tackles and 5 PDs in 6 games — was on a per-game pace nearly identical to his 2024 breakout before the injury. Cincinnati moved him to the Reserve list mid-season.
The per-game rates: 2.0 tackles, 0.83 PDs. Pro-rated to 16 games, that's a 32-tackle, 13-PD pace — meaningfully below 2024 but still above-average for the position. The recovery year will be the next data point.
