Michael Taaffe, DB University of Texas

Ask Michael Taaffe what drives him, and you won’t just hear about highlight-reel plays or game-day glory. You’ll hear about the grind. The hours no one sees. The belief that consistency beats flash every time.

And that’s exactly what you notice when you talk to him.

Michael’s game isn’t built on shortcuts. It’s built on preparation, trust, and a relentless mindset that carries over into every part of his life.

That’s why Michael Taaffe is a perfect match for Mizzen+Main.

When we teamed up with Michael, it wasn’t just because he’s a standout safety—it’s because he shares our belief that performance and presence go hand-in-hand.

Michael leads with energy. He plays with heart. And he brings the same attention to detail to his off-field style that he does to reading an offense.

“I want to be able to throw something on and know it’s going to look good,” Michael told us. “Mizzen+Main takes care of that for me. It’s clean, it’s comfortable, and I can wear it anywhere.”

That’s Michael—confident without trying too hard, committed to his craft, and always ready to show up for the people who count on him.

We’re proud to be part of Michael’s story. Whether he’s gearing up for a big game or enjoying a well-earned off day, our performance menswear helps him look sharp, feel comfortable, and stay focused on what matters most.

Because like Michael, we believe success starts with what you wear.
