NFL Trade Rumors
Colts RB Jonathan Taylor is the workhorse of Indianapolis’ offense after finishing last season with 303 rushing attempts for 1,431 yards and 11 touchdowns. Taylor said he’s planning to “carry the load throughout the season.”
“You definitely want to be able to have your team lean on you,” Taylor said, via Amanda Foster of the team’s site. “But this is nothing that I’m not used to, you know, ever since high school. It’s all about being prepared coming into the season, working throughout training camp to be able to carry that load throughout the season. And we got a room full of backs. We got a lot of juice in that room, so I’m sure we’re up for the task.”
As for the quarterback competition between Anthony Richardson and ****Daniel Jones, Taylor said he just wants to “mesh” with either player.
“We need to make sure that whoever is back there with us, we need to make sure that we mesh with them,” Taylor said. “We need to make sure whatever we’re doing is making their job as easy as possible, however that looks. Whatever we can do to make their job as easy as possible, that’s what we’re there for.”
Jaguars OC Grant Udinski said WR/CB Travis Hunter has been an “injection of energy” to their entire team so far this offseason.
“He’s been an injection of energy into not just the offense, but I think the team,” Udinski said, via JaguarsWire. “What you see on TV of him dancing around or bringing the juice and all of that energy to practice, that is genuine. That’s the real deal right there. He’s a lot of fun to be around, not only because he brings that energy but because he is a football guy in the sense that he loves football, wants to be great, willing to work, wants to talk about things, wants to go over things.”
Hunter has drawn praise from HC Liam Coen for his stamina in practice. Udinksi reitarted the rookie is always on the field.
“Like Liam said,” Udinski said. “I know he’s mentioned it multiple times, he can run all day. So he’s out there excited about practice, and he’s practicing hard for the entire time he’s practicing. That’s exciting for me as a coach to be a part of that to let alone have a guy like that to get to work with.”
As for Hunter splitting time as a receiver and cornerback, Udinksi is excited to see how he does as a two-way player.
“I’m excited about the challenges of splitting time between offense and defense and the many different roles that he’ll play on our team and if there’s a guy that can do it, I’m excited about seeing him approach that challenge.”
