Jonathan Taylor, RB, Wisconsin
Post Combine
Jonathan Taylor RB @BadgerFootball 5-10 1/4, 226 Ran 4.39 at the Combine. Rushed for 2003 yds, 21 TD’s, 6.3 avg. Not flashy. Gd vision. VG inside runner. Similar to Frank Gore. Will move the chains. Saw him more as a 4.50 speed wise Late 1st to 2nd rd pick @NFLDraft @nflnetwork pic.twitter.com/zc6orLsxsl

We will continue today with running backs. I tweeted out Jonathan Taylor a few weeks ago, but here it is again, along with JK Dobbins. I loved Taylor's tape, but again, you get into the debate re: positional value in the NFL. Have at it. pic.twitter.com/jYFi4SBi4Q

4/ Another sloppy narrative is that his play speed is not reflective of his 4.39 40. This take exposes any film watcher who floats it. pic.twitter.com/I93kro94pX

2/ Anticipation, linear burst and brutal efficiency don’t produce the make-you-miss highlight reels because the tacklers never arrive. Taylor plays a step ahead of the defense and makes teams pay for any crease. pic.twitter.com/zMqQanPFCx

Asked an NFL scout for the fastest 10-yard splits from their stopwatches at the Combine. Three players posted a ridiculous 1.48 time:

Joshua Kelley is a RB prospect in the 2020 draft class out of UCLA.

He posted a great #RAS with okay size, great speed, okay explosiveness, good agility at the RB position.https://t.co/ZlMLW8Rdoy pic.twitter.com/VPoJjAaMKc

- Sound efficient decisions through tight spaces
- Precise pad placement + leg drive = broken tackles
- INSANE processing (re-balance, get skinny to beat CB, stiff arm pursuit LB all in a few steps)
- speed stretches pursuit 25 yards pic.twitter.com/Eg2ns5Bl58

Jonathan Taylor easily outruns the safety’s angle (24) & separates from a trailing DB (14). This is elite speed. pic.twitter.com/I93kro94pX

“I will never use the term “can’t miss” for a prospect this early, but with that said, Jonathan Taylor is as close to the perfect running back prospect as I have found.”
