Taylor was one of two running backs at practice alongside second-year running back Ja'Quinden Jackson, and he stood out in a big way.
He looks like a natural pass-catcher out of the backfield, has more explosiveness than it seemed like was advertised. It is hard for a running back to make a big impact in a practice without pads on, but I thought Taylor took advantage of the oppurtunity in front of him. He also told me after practice the Jaguars were the first team to talk to him during the draft process, making it clear they have always been all-in on him.

Jaguars head coach Liam Coen noted the running game's success post-practice, and it seemed like each of Tank Bigsby, Travis Etienne and Ja'Quinden Jackson all popped off some impressive runs. Bigsby and Etienne seemed to be evenly-matched in terms of reps, though Bigsby produced the most behind a strong offensive line performance.
