About Aaron

CBS Sports Analyst and Super Bowl Champion, Aaron Taylor, is an outspoken advocate on mental health and wellness. As the founder of the only major non-individual honor in college football, named after his offensive line coach at the University of Notre Dame, Joe Moore, Aaron believe in the idea of putting the collective achievement above individual gain. The Joe Moore Award recognizes the most outstanding offensive line UNIT, promoting this belief. Aaron learned the power of “team first” playing football for three outstanding programs: the Green Bay Packers, Notre Dame, and De La Salle High School, subject of the movie When the Game Stands Tall.

With the national spotlight on mental health, Aaron is one of the first high-profile athletes to debunk the myths and stigmas associated with mental health in his widely publicized NCAA Mind Body and Sport article, Game Face Isn’t the Only Face. In the article, and in many events around the country, Aaron reveals the hidden obstacles elite athletes (and any other high-stake individuals) face. In the powerful 30 for 30 Seau film, Aaron opens up about his teammate, Junior Seau, in an effort to help those struggling with mental health challenges.

During his time at the University of Notre Dame, playing on the offensive line, Aaron earned, unanimously, the All-American honor and awarded the Lombardi Award for the best interior lineman in the country, and learned the most fundamental principal of success: put the collective achievement above the individual gain.

Aaron had a chance to put this principal to the test as the Green Bay Packers’ first round pick of the 1994 NFL Draft and becoming a member of the Packers’ Super Bowl XXXI Championship team. Now Aaron shares this message with organizations around the globe, inspiring teams to achieve better results.
