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

Last week vs. Kent State: 19 rushes| 186 yards| 9.8 ypc| 4 TD| 48 Long| 3 receptions| 29 yards| 1 TD

Season Stats: 103 rushes| 745 yards| 7.2 ypc| 12 TD| 72 Long| 12 receptions| 114 yards| 4 TD

Jonathan Taylor largely struggled a week ago against Northwestern. Taylor made up for those struggles in a big way against Kent State, rushing for over 180 yards while accounting for an incredible five total touchdowns. Admittedly, Kent State is not the best team on the Badgers schedules, but those are impressive numbers no matter who they are playing.

Taylor is now second in the nation in rushing touchdowns while also shattering his previous career highs across the board as a receiver. He already has an incredible 16 total touchdowns on the season. He has helped lead the Badgers to an undefeated record and put Wisconsin squarely in the conversation as a contender for a playoff spot.

Wisconsin will put their undefeated record on the line this weekend when they host the Michigan State Spartans. It will be interesting to see if Taylor can match fellow Big Ten running back JK Dobbins’ numbers against the Spartans.
