For a practice squad player who hasn’t played a snap in the NFL, Jordan “Sunshine” Taylor sure does have a lot of fans — none bigger than Peyton Manning, of course.

While The Sheriff was recovering from a foot injury last season, “Sunshine” became his right-hand man, working long hours with Manning as he worked hard to rehab his aging body. And afterwards, No. 18 could do nothing but sing the praises of the undrafted wide receiver out of Rice.

He even bought him a suite for Super Bowl 50!

Now, heading into the 2016 season, Sunshine is in the midst of a battle for the third wide receiver position, and this time, he’s looking to make the active roster.

Plays like this will help …

And the crowed goes wild!

Taylor has a ways to go, but if he keeps making spectacular catches like that one, he’ll force his way onto the active roster.
