Taylor praised Falcons coach Dan Quinn during his speech
Former defensive end Jason Taylor, who was enshrined into the Pro Football Hall of Fame on Saturday night, credited Falcons coach Dan Quinn and Alabama coach Nick Saban with helping him win the defensive player of the year in 2006 with the Miami Dolphins.
Taylor said Quinn and Saban came up with “innovative” ways utilize his talents. Quinn was the Dolphins’ defensive line coach, and Saban was the team’s head coach.
Quinn, with the Falcons off from practice, flew in for the ceremony.
