Steelers' Ike Taylor says he would consider following Dick LeBeau to Tennessee

There could be a reunion on the horizon between Pittsburgh Steelers cornerback Ike Taylor and his former defensive coordinator, Dick LeBeau. 

Taylor appeared on SiriusXM NFL Radio on Sunday and said he would consider leaving the Steelers for the Tennessee Titans, where LeBeau is now employed as assistant head coach of defense.

"If there's anybody I would follow, it would be him and him only," Taylor said.

Taylor struggled with injuries in 2014, finishing with 16 tackles in five games. He's still interested in playing next season, but said he would also be open to entering the broadcast booth.

"I'm fortunate enough to play for 12 years in the NFL with one team, especially in this free-agent era," Taylor said. "I'm fortunate to go to three Super Bowls, win two. I'm very fortunate....

"If broadcasting is better for me, or being a scout is better for me, I'm gonna go the other road. But as far as being in shape and willing and able to play in the league, that's always one of my options."
