Former 49ers WR Trent Taylor announces retirement after seven NFL seasons originally appeared on NBC Sports Bay Area
49ers tight end George Kittle has been all over the place over the past week.
Last weekend, he was among the high-profile celebrities in attendance at Travis Kelce and Taylor Swift's wedding, while this weekend, he helped celebrate the retirement of former 49ers wide receiver Trent Taylor .
In posts that were shared across social media, Taylor's wife threw the former Louisiana Tech star a retirement party.
"Ended the journey w/ the same ones we started it with," Sarah Taylor wrote on her Instagram story.
The 49ers selected Taylor with the No. 177 pick in the fifth round of the 2017 NFL Draft. He quickly burst onto the scene as a rookie, appearing in 15 games and recording 43 receptions for 430 yards and two touchdowns.
But injuries quickly derailed Taylor's once-promising career.
Taylor, 32, would go on to spend three seasons with San Francisco before stints with the Cincinnati Bengals and Chicago Bears , before returning to the 49ers in 2024. He walks away from the NFL having racked up 88 catches for 845 yards and three touchdowns, while also racking up over 1,000 yards returning punts and kicks.
