INDIANAPOLIS -- It’s taken time for Indianapolis Colts rookie running back Jonathan Taylor.
That’s the simplest way to put it.
It took time for the talented running back to realize he was no longer facing defenders from Rutgers or Maryland in the Big Ten. It took time to realize opportunities to stretch out a run before turning the corner were going to be fewer and fewer because NFL defensive players are bigger, stronger and faster than those he faced while starring at the University of Wisconsin, where he finished his career with back-to-back 2,000-yard rushing seasons.
