Taylor Evans Stubblefield (born January 21, 1982) is a former American football wide receiver for the Carolina Panthers and St. Louis Rams of the National Football League (NFL). He left Purdue owning the most receptions in NCAA history. Stubblefield is currently a wide receivers coach at Utah. A three-sport athlete at A.C. Davis High School, Stubblefield committed to the Purdue University to play football for the Boilermakers. In his collegiate debut in 2001, he had five receptions for 65 yards. He led the team in receptions and was named to the All-Freshman Big Ten team by Sporting News. Stubblefield fractured his skull following his red-shirt freshman season, but he did not miss a game and was fully recovered by the time the 2002 season came around. During his sophomore season, he finished with 77 receptions for 789 yards, but didn't record a touchdown catch. As a junior in 2003, Stubblefield earned second-team All-Big Ten honors at the conclusion of the season. In the 2001 Sun Bowl, he had nine catches for a Sun Bowl-record 196 yards. During the 2004 season, Stubblefield was a Biletnikoff Award finalist and earned first-team All-Big Ten honors. He finished his college career with an NCAA record of 325 receptions (that was broken in 2011), 3,629 yards and 27 touchdowns. Despite his college success, Stubblefield was not selected in 2005 NFL Draft. He signed as an undrafted free agent with the Carolina Panthers, but failed to make the team as a wide receiver or return man. Stubblefield then signed with the Hamilton Tiger-cats of the Canadian Football League. During the 2006 season, he was invited to training camp with the St. Louis Rams, but once again didn't make the team. He was re-signed by the Tiger-cats, but he never recorded any statistics while he was on the team.When the 2007 season came around, Stubblefield hung up his cleats and returned to his home state of Washington, where he was named the wide receivers coach for Central Washington University. The following season he took the same position with Eastern Michigan, while also working towards his master's degree. For the 2009 and 2010 seasons, he was asked by former Purdue Defense Coordinator Brock Spack to take the wide receivers coaching position at Illinois State. For the Redbirds, Stubblefield coached Eyad Salem, who broke the school's single-season receptions record (92 catches) and twice tied the single-game receptions record with back-to-back 14-catch efforts. Salem was an All-MVFC first-team selection. The next year he took a job with Central Michigan as their wide receivers coach.
