Buffalo Bills quarterback Tyrod Taylor won't be wearing a custom diamond-studded mouthpiece in the season opener after all.
Taylor's agent, Adisa Bakari, told Mike Rodak of ESPN that a TMZ report about the quarterback wearing the mouthpiece for his first career start is a "complete fabrication."
Tyrod Taylor’s agent, Adisa Bakari, says that Taylor and his family are offended by the notion that he would even wear a diamond mouthpiece.

Bakari also denied that Taylor ever spoke to a dentist about such a mouthpiece. Dr. Michael Wright, who's made similar pieces for other athletes, including Nate Robinson, was mentioned in the report as the designer for the blingy gear.
