Colts Star RB Jonathan Taylor to See Lighter Workload?
According to The Athletic’s Zak Keefer, there is a belief the Indianapolis Colts will not have to rely as much on star running back Jonathan Taylor in 2022.
Keefer’s report echoed the recent words of Colts head coach Frank Reich when he said, “I’m not saying [Jonathan Taylor] won’t lead the league in touches… but I almost don’t want him to. You don’t see teams that have this ground-and-pound run game win championships… You just don’t. I’m sure it’s happened with one or two teams, but our best formula is to be balanced.”
Keefer also iterated that increased usage for backup running back Nyheim Hines is “the worst kept secret” in the NFL.
