Colts' Jonathan Taylor Recognizes Ashton Jeanty's Talent

After sustaining a rough, self-inflicted loss to the Los Angeles Rams in Week 4, the Indianapolis Colts are ready to bounce back against a struggling Las Vegas Raiders squad on Sunday afternoon.

Indianapolis running back Jonathan Taylor continued to be the engine of Shane Steichen's offense despite the loss. Taylor put up 76 rushing yards (4.5 average) and 20 receiving yards on five catches.

Now, Taylor will be ready to have a big game against the Raiders, but there will be another bright running back on Las Vegas' offense in rookie Ashton Jeanty. After a breakout performance against the Chicago Bears, he'll look to make it two straight.

Jeanty put up 138 rushing yards and secured three all-purpose touchdowns (one rushing, two receiving). The rookie will do everything possible to continue that momentum against Lou Anarumo's defense.

Taylor had nothing but praise for Jeanty when asked about the Raiders' back, and young guys at the position in general. Here's what the NFL's top rusher had to say.

"You definitely look at some of the young guys, and you just look at their skillsets. You kind of just think in their mind or try to think of, I wonder what made him kind of be patient like that there. I'm like, ‘Oh, that was pretty cool to see.’"

"Like you said, especially with a young running back, because maybe it's an older running back, more experienced running back to kind of have that tempo or set the play up like that. So when you see a young guy, you’re like that was actually pretty cool to see."
