Taylor Jonathan Yates (born May 28, 1987[1]) is a former American football quarterback and coach who is the wide receivers coach for the Atlanta Falcons of the National Football League (NFL). He played college football at North Carolina.
Yates was picked by Houston in the fifth round of the 2011 NFL Draft. Yates became a starter after Matt Schaub suffered a season-ending injury. He threw three touchdowns next to three interceptions in the regular season, but guided the Texans to their first ever playoff appearance. Yates played well in a Wild Card win over the Cincinnati Bengals, but threw three interceptions in a divisional loss to the Baltimore Ravens.
