EAST LANSING — Raequan Williams and Kenny Willekes agree.

Wisconsin’s Jonathan Taylor does not compare to any running back Michigan State’s defense has faced in recent memory.

Not Saquon Barkley or Miles Sanders. Not Mike Weber or J.K. Dobbins.

“He’s his own back. He’s a special type of back,” Williams, a senior defensive tackle, said of Taylor after practice Tuesday.
