Kelvin Taylor

Play style
Plays within the scheme — consistent production without a dominant dimension.
Boom vs consistent · carry-yardage shape
Steady, not spectacular
Just 16.2% of his season rushing yards came on his 5 best carries — remarkably even — and he's stuffed on 17.9% of his carries. 7 carries for 8 yds vs Alabama; 24 for 136 vs Florida State.
Counted from the play-by-play, so a carry or two can differ from the box score.
