With the help of the blockers in front of him and his intriguing combination of speed, strength and vision, Wisconsin Badgers running back Jonathan Taylor removed any doubt about a sophomore slump in 2018. He rushed for nearly 2,200 yards, led the nation in that category and also yards per game on way to claiming the Doak Walker Award and unanimous first-team All-American honors.
Despite a revamped offensive line returning to Wisconsin that will miss four of its five “regular” starters from a year ago, Taylor will position himself again to be “the man” in the backfield and have an opportunity to cement his legacy among Badger backs in 2019.
