Pick Analysis. Jonathan Taylor. Scouting Report. Wisconsin. 3. player. 809. RB

Last Week vs. No. 11 Michigan: 23 rushes| 203 yards| 8.8 ypc| 2 TD| Long 72| 1 reception| 5 yards| 0 TD

Season Stats: 58 rushes| 440 yards| 7.6 ypc| 7 TD| Long 72| 6 receptions| 70 yards| 3 TD

The Wisconsin Badgers put a thumping on the No. 11-ranked Michigan Wolverines this past weekend. In fact, the score was 28-0 by halftime. Taylor was a big part of the victory tallying over 200 yards on the ground and contributing two touchdowns. In the first quarter alone, Taylor accounted for 143 yards and his two touchdowns. He also showed off his vision and big-play ability on a long 72-yard touchdown run in that first quarter.

This is arguably the first signature Heisman performance in a big game for this season. Taylor has already improved his draft stock this season and will look to continue to improve his Heisman hopes along with Wisconsin’s playoff hopes for the rest of the year.

Taylor and the Badgers will look to back up their outstanding performance this Saturday against a pesky Northwestern team.
