The great thing about Kelvin Taylor is that when given the chance to provide results on offense, they usually turn out to be very explosive.

Taylor, the son of former Gator great Fred Taylor, has been extremely productive in limited snaps since his freshman year.

“Taylor is set to potentially have a breakout year for the Gators, as he should be the focal point for the offense’s ground attack”

He had 508 rushing yards on 111 carries in his very first year on campus. He followed that up with another 565 yards, six touchdowns and an average of 4.9 yards a carry.

He topped that off with a 65-yard rushing TD against the Georgia Bulldogs in Week 7.

In 2015, Taylor is set to potentially have a breakout year for the Gators, as he should be the focal point for the offense’s ground attack.

Provided he remains healthy, look for Taylor to be near the top of the SEC charts for rushing yards.

Who needs firecrackers when you can just watch Taylor tear up opposing defenses on the ground?
