One of the most physically elite running back prospects in college football over the past what 20 years. Guy was a freak show from the word go and physically is about as superior to other running backs as you can get, and Taylor is the second coming of him and faster? Um, no. Athletically the only guy who comes close to Barkley in terms of strength and speed maybe is Adrian Peterson, but I bet Barkley has more powerful legs and arguably is a more complete player especially as a pass catcher to Peterson. Oh and a running back on Wisconsin being successful is not exactly something out of the ordinary or rare, he has to do a little more than just run well against Utah State. It is one of two things, either you crazy underrated Saquon Barkley, or you crazy over rate Jonathan Taylor... actually probably a little of both. Well, I haven't looked into the details of strength, although Taylor looks to be plenty strong. But on speed, Saquan Barkley runs a 100m dash of 10.74 seconds (http://pennstate.247sports.com/Bolt/Barkley-clocks-school-record-1074-in-100-36778014) while Jonathan Taylor runs a 100m dash of 10.64 seconds (https://www.landof10.com/wisconsin/jonathan-taylor-wisconsin-bio-stats). So Taylor actually is faster than Barkley. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
