I told everyone who would listen that Taylor was going to be a beast in the NFL. It was obvious to me after watching him at Wisconsin that he was bound for success.
In November, he had some games where he barely touched the ball and the critics started getting bold.

However, he clearly bounced back in a major way, and the stats speak for themselves. Breaking the 1,000 yards mark as a rookie is huge.
Taylor tacking on 11 rushing touchdowns is absolutely impressive, and you’d have to be insane to think differently.
You wanna talk about good company?
