Jacksonville Jaguars 2017 Draft: Finding the Next Fred Taylor at Fourth Overall

The all-time leading rusher in Jacksonville Jaguars history is Fred Taylor. He rushed for 11,271 yards from 1998 to 2008. In addition, Maurice Jones-Drew is second with 8,071 yards and after those two, there is not anyone else close. It’s easy to surmise that finding the next Fred Taylor may be tough.

Taylor was the ninth overall pick in the 1998 NFL draft. Tom Coughlin, now executive vice president for football operations, was the Jaguars head coach. The Jaguars have not selected a running back in the first round since 1998.
