Alontae Taylor on the optimism heading into the 2026 season:
This is a great group, this whole locker room, offensively, defensively, special teams. Coach (Kellen) Moore and those guys have done a really good job bringing in the right guys. This is probably some of the most fun I've had in my four years, probably the tightest that I've been with this defensive back group. So it's really good, bright future here.
