Taylor would make the All-Rookie team with a career-high 14 Rushing Touchdowns and 1,223 Yards on the ground, and providing he was healthy, he was going to get you at least 1,000 Rushing Yards. That is what he would do six more times in his career, peaking at 1,572 in 2003, and earning a Pro Bowl in 2007. He played with the Jags until 2008, and he would finish his career in New England for two years. He retired with 11,695 Rushing Yards.
While Taylor never finished higher than sixth in Rushing Yards in a season, he was in the top ten in Yards per Attempt eight times, which is an impressive feat indeed.
