5. Jonathan Taylor, Wisconsin

I liked Jonathan Taylor a lot more before I turned on the Iowa tape, which is, of course, all subject to change. That said, I saw a guy whose body didn’t always cooperate with what his eyes told him to do. Taylor lacks the agility to make a one-step cut to turn upfield. However, once he gets space, he makes the most of every opportunity, with good straight-line speed and powerful moves to boot, rarely being tackled by one man. Taylor has had a monstrous workload for the Badgers in his collegiate career with 606 carries and another 300 on the horizon in 2019.
