809. RB. Wisconsin. 4. Jonathan Taylor. player. Scouting Report. Pick Analysis

Last Week: BYE

Season Stats: 35 rushes| 237 yards| 6.8 ypc| 5 TD| Long 38| 5 receptions| 65 yards| 3 TD

Jonathan Taylor and the Wisconsin Badgers enjoyed an open date in Week 3. Both Taylor and the Badgers were very impressive the first two weeks of the season when they did take the field.

Taylor has looked like the stud that we have all come to expect after watching his first two years in Madison. He has even improved as a pass-catcher, already closing in on his career receiving numbers with five receptions and three touchdowns in the first two games.

Wisconsin will have a chance to solidify themselves as a true playoff contender when they host No. 11-ranked Michigan on Saturday. This game also sets up well for Taylor to have a signature performance and close the gap on the other Heisman contenders.
