‘J.T. for MVP’: Colts RB Jonathan Taylor Continues to Break Records and Tackles—as the Award’s Frontrunner

Indianapolis Colts 2nd-year running back Jonathan Taylor appears to be a ‘man on a mission’ this season, as he’s arguably the leading candidate to become the NFL’s 2021 MVP:

Jonathan Taylor is now the first player in NFL history to have a TD in 10 straight games before his 23rd birthday

HOF Eric Dickerson was the previous youngest player in NFL history to score a TD in 10 straight games (he did so in 1983 at age 23)@Colts— NFL Research (@NFLResearch) December 5, 2021

With 2 TDs, @JayT23 (28 touchdowns) would join Hall of Famers Edgerrin James, Curtis Martin and Earl Campbell as well as Billy Sims as the only players to reach 30 career TDs in 28 or fewer games played.
