The Indianapolis Colts are set to make their 2020 debut against the Tennessee Titans this Sunday, and they will be doing so with a new face in the backfield. Jonathan Taylor, the Colts’ second-round pick in this year’s draft, is expected to make his NFL debut against the Titans.
Taylor was a standout running back during his time at the University of Wisconsin, where he rushed for more than 6,000 yards and scored 50 touchdowns in three seasons. He was widely considered one of the best running backs in this year’s draft class, and the Colts were thrilled to select him with the 41st overall pick.
The Colts have been searching for a reliable running back since the departure of Frank Gore in 2018, and Taylor is expected to fill that void. He has already made an impression on his teammates during training camp and the preseason, and they are excited to see what he can do in a real game.
Taylor will be sharing carries with Marlon Mack, who had a breakout season in 2019. The two will form a formidable duo in the backfield and should give the Colts a much-needed boost on offense.
The Colts will be looking to get off to a good start against the Titans, and Taylor’s debut could be the spark they need. It will be interesting to see how he performs in his first NFL game, and it could be the start of a long and successful career in Indianapolis.
