TANK WILLIAMS: Jonathan Taylor's been running through defenses like Montezuma's revenge the past three years, and in that time, he's had over 300 touches, stomped more yards than the [INAUDIBLE] ban, and collected rushing awards like Jay Z at the Grammy's.
And the upside is this. Taylor does all that with 4.39 speed and better receiving skills than he gets credit for it.
Now, on the downside, folks love to talk about [INAUDIBLE] workload, but [INAUDIBLE] Christian McCaffrey, just view it as a sample platter before ordering the main course. And even after a hell of a career, an explosive combine, Jonathan Taylor still seems underrated to me.
I think he's Saquon Barkley on the rocks. A little watered down, but a three-down crowd pleaser that adds just the juice to an NFL offense.
JONATHAN TAYLOR: I definitely feel like I'm a high draft pick. One of the reasons why is the consistency. I know that the next level which separates the great backs from the elite backs to the legendary backs are being able to play at that high level consistently every single Sunday, every single year, and I feel like that's one thing I focused on a lot in college is being consistent.
