Football: Look at Jonathan Taylor’s draft stock as NFL Draft approaches

Running back Jonathan Taylor has been a crucial piece of Wisconsin’s offense for the past three seasons, making the decision to forgo his senior season and enter the 2020 NFL Draft in April.

While Taylor’s college career is undoubtedly great, how his skills will translate to the NFL are on the minds of NFL scouts across the league. During his time at Wisconsin, Taylor broke numerous records — most notably for most 200-yard rushing games in an Football Bowl Subdivision career (12) and most rushing yards through a junior season (6,174).

But Taylor has also raised concerns about a heavy workload with 926 rushing attempts in three seasons, and ball security with five fumbles in the 2019 season alone.
