The Chargers have taken former Wake Forest cornerback Ja’Sir Taylor with the No. 214 overall selection in the 2022 NFL draft.

Taylor logged 184 tackles, six interceptions, 24 passes defended, one sack, one forced fumble, and three fumble recoveries in 62 career games.

Taylor also returned kicks in his final season, averaging 26.3 yards per attempt, including one touchdown, on eight attempts.
