It hardly comes as a surprise given that Jonathan Taylor has been among the most dangerous and productive offensive players in the NFL all season long for the Indianapolis Colts.

Thus far, Jonathan Taylor has carried the ball 270 times for a league leading 1,518 yards (5.6 YPC – 1st in the NFL), and 17 touchdowns (1st in the NFL). The next closest rusher is Joe Mixon with 1,094 yards rushing.

In short, he’s been the best running back in the league, and by a large margin. This is a well deserved honor for the former two-time Doak Walker award winner (2018, 2019).
