It’s no secret what type of offense Shane Steichen wants to run with the Indianapolis Colts. He is going to lean heavily on running back Jonathan Taylor. Through four games, Taylor is the leading rusher in the league.
He is tied for the second most carries, and his 5.4 yards-per-rush is a full two yards better than Josh Jacobs and Saquon Barkley, the only two backs who have run as many times as the Colts’ star.
In fact, if not for an unfortunate holding penalty on AD Mitchell last week, Taylor would most likely be the frontrunner for the Offensive Player of the Year at the season’s quarter pole.
