Taylor is a powerful, home-run hitter who will be immediately productive on the next level. He has the measurable to be very successful on the next level and is fully capable of breaking tackles and using his vision to gain yards. Once in the open field, Taylor can take it to the house due to his great speed. Taylor also has the potential to develop into a receiving threat, but for now he will be getting most of his receiving yards through screens. Taylor's biggest problem is the fact that he isn't very shifty and can struggle to evade tacklers, and that could limit his production. In addition, Taylor struggled a lot with fumbles in college (18 fumbles, 15 of which were lost, in 41 career games) and if he can’t figure out how to better hold on to the ball he could end up being benched. Overall, Taylor should be able to be a home-run hitting power back who may eventually be able to become a solid receiving threat if he can fix his problems with fumbles.

Analytics-Based Prospect Grade: 91.18
