WESTFIELD, Ind. -- Camping was something Indianapolis Colts running back Jonathan Taylor had never experienced in the first 21-plus years of his life.
Not while growing up on the East Coast.
Not while staring at the University of Wisconsin.
But Taylor -- months removed from a rookie season in which he rushed for 1,169 yards and 11 touchdowns -- decided he wanted his first camping experience.
This wasn’t a camping trip that included warm summer temperatures, sitting around a campfire roasting s'mores or jumping in a lake to stay cool.
It was the opposite.
