The Green Bay Packers had one of the best running backs in the NFL in 2019, and the top back in college football also resided in the state. That was Jonathan Taylor of the Wisconsin Badgers, who won the Doak Walker Award as the best player at the position in each of the past two seasons.
Taylor’s production on the ground at Wisconsin is undeniable, and although he still has some questions to deal with in the passing game, he should be a second day pick at the very latest. But on Friday at the 2020 NFL Combine, Taylor took a huge step towards making himself a first-round pick in April’s draft.
