The Facts:
A historical season for Taylor earned him his first-ever, First-Team All-Pro selection. Taylor joins Los Angeles Rams wide receiver Cooper Kupp, Pittsburgh Steelers linebacker T.J. Watt, Rams defensive end Aaron Donald and Green Bay Packers wide receiver Davante Adams as one of only five players to be unanimously selected by all 50 members of the Associated Press team.
Diehards Line:In just his second season, Taylor led the league in rushing yards with 1,811, rushing touchdowns with 18 and tied Los Angeles Chargers running back Austin Ekeler for the most scrimmage touchdowns with 20. Additionally, Taylor became the first Colts running back to be awarded First-Team All-Pro honors since Edgerrin James in 1999. Taylor also set a franchise record in Week 17 for most rushing yards by a Colts running back, surpassing both Eric Dickerson, who was second in franchise history with 1,659 yards in 1988 and James, who at the time held the record with 1,709 yards in 2000. This past season saw Taylor set the record for most touchdowns scored by a Colts player when the star back scored five touchdowns (four rushing, one receiving) in a 41-15 rout of the Buffalo Bills in Week 11. It was these kinds of performances which also helped Taylor earn his first Pro Bowl selection and it's also what will make him the most likely candidate to be the first overall pick in your fantasy draft this coming season.
