Thursday's NFL: Colts trying to plot Taylor-made plan for rushing champ

Associated Press

Westfield, Ind. — Matt Ryan first noticed Jonathan Taylor’s natural instincts on Indianapolis Colts game film.

One play proved Taylor is even more impressive in person.

At Indy’s first training camp practice last week, Ryan got a glimpse into this season’s possibilities when his new running back caught a screen pass, quickly turned up the field and left defenders in his wake.

Jonathan Taylor is one of three major college players with multiple entries in the 2,000-yard club and could become the first to do it three times in their combined college and pro careers.

Even Ryan, who has seemingly seen everything over a 14-year career, did a double take.
