In the midst of a breakout season from Quintez Cephus and the surprise freshman campaign of Danny Davis, it became easy to overlook the progress University of Wisconsin wide receiver A.J. Taylor made as a sophomore last year.

After catching just three passes as a true freshman, Taylor snagged 31 for 475 yards and five touchdowns in 2017.
