Taylor ranks second in the NFL in rushing yards so far this season, running for a total of 649 yards. Only Tennessee’s Derrick Henry, who racked up 937 yards before suffering a season-ending injury last weekend, had more.

Taylor also has the longest run in the NFL so far this year, with an 83-yard run against the Houston Texans on October 17th.

Taylor was drafted in the second round of the 2020 NFL Draft after running for 6,174 yards in four years at Wisconsin. He ran for 1169 yards and 11 touchdowns while adding 299 yards receiving during his rookie season with the Colts last year.
