Wisconsin has done it again with Taylor joining a long list of former Badgers to become productive running backs in the NFL. In retrospect, Taylor was probably one of the few running backs worthy of a first-round selection, but the Colts were lucky enough to get him 41st overall.

As a rookie, Taylor gained five yards per carry and racked up over 1,100 rushing yards in addition to nearly 300 receiving yards, and that was in just 13 games. During his second season, Taylor led all running backs in carries, rushing yards, and rushing touchdowns. It only took two years for Taylor to stake his claim as the best running back in the NFL.
