That streak is especially impressive for a running back, which is known a a workhorse role and comes with a lot of contact. And with contact comes injury.
Taylor has been known for his dependability since joining the league out of Wisconsin in 2020. In college he rushed for a combined total of 6,174 yards and 50 touchdowns across 3 years in Madison. He had 2 1,000 yards season and was 23 yards shy of another his freshman year.
