J.J. Taylor not going down without a fight in Patriots’ running back competition

Even though he enjoyed quite a productive college career, J.J. Taylor has had a hard time making a name for himself at the NFL level. The former rookie free agent has seen inconsistent action over his first three seasons as a pro, and is now fighting to keep his spot in the New England Patriots’ running back room.

That fight has only gotten more challenging with the recent addition of Pro Bowler Ezekiel Elliott. Taylor, however, is making sure not to go down without a fight.

Leading the team in scrimmage yards this playoff cycle, he has registered 71 yards on 13 touches for an average of 5.
