Patrick Taylor Jr. brings Memphis-tested power and big-play efficiency
Patrick Taylor Jr. was a durable, downhill Memphis back who paired size (6-2, 217) with efficiency, finishing his Tigers career with 2,884 rushing yards, 36 rushing touchdowns, and 3,322 all-purpose yards in 2016-2019. In his 2018 peak season, he posted 1,122 rushing yards and 16 scores, showing legitimate feature-back juice; his 2019 season was shortened by a foot injury, which is the main flag on his profile. His game is simple and effective: get north-south, punish arm tackles, and finish runs with authority—good fit if you want a physical runner who can carry volume and shorten games.
