Taylor's Top 5: The best Jonathan Taylor performances of his Wisconsin Badgers career

  • Jan 4, 2020
  • Jan 4, 2020 Updated Aug 21, 2023

While he hasn’t explicitly stated so, all signs point to the Rose Bowl being running back Jonathan Taylor’s final game with the University of Wisconsin football team.

Taylor’s college career has been full of astounding statistics and stellar performances. He’s the first NCAA football player to rush for 6,000 yards in the first three years of a career, and he’s second all-time on the Big Ten Conference’s rushing list. As it appears to be coming to a close, let’s take a look at the best games Taylor put together while in a Badgers’ uniform.
