J.J. Taylor impressive in NFL debut with Patriots

J.J. Taylor looks pretty good in a Patriots uniform.

The former Arizona Wildcats standout, an undrafted free agent who made the opening day roster, had an impressive debut for the New England Patriots in their 21-11 home win over the Miami Dolphins.

Wearing No. 42, Taylor finished with 28 rushing yards on four carries, including an 11-yarder in the third quarter, and also caught a 4-yard pass in eight total offensive snaps. He helped New England rush for 217 yards, more than double their average in 2019.
