Round 6 (via KC)
211. J.J. Taylor | RB | Arizona
The Jets need a backup for Le’Veon Bell. That player will probably come earlier in the draft and won’t be a back who is 5-foot-5, 185-pounds like Arizona’s J.J. Taylor.
In 2019, Taylor led the Wildcats in rushing, carrying the ball 148 times for 721 yards and five touchdowns. He added 32 receptions for 289 yards in the passing game as well.
Taylor is a short but stout runner, whose college production will receive attention from NFL teams. Due to his size, he’ll likely be a limited runner at the next level with an outside shot of making an NFL roster.
