Running Back Rank: #187
Overall: #796
Taylor didn't play much last season, being slowed by a toe injury but also being declared inactive for several games. He played just seven games, rushing for 155 yards. He has fewer than 300-rushing yard each of the last two seasons with the Patriots. At the age of 35, his career is likely over. Taylor doesn't have much left in the tank. He still has some speed but not the breakaway speed of past years. And he never ran with much power, which isn't a plus for him at this stage of his career.
