30 NFL records that could be broken this season

14. Jonathan Taylor, Yards from scrimmage

The Indianapolis Colts will recover from that terrible season they had last year to be a complete breakout offensively. Adding Richardson to the fold will only make Jonathan Taylor better. He’s been pretty darn good so far. So, a better Jonathan Taylor is a scary thought for his opponents.

Taylor’s best season came in 2021, when he had 1,811 yards rushing and 360 yards receiving. That would give Taylor 2,171 yards from scrimmage. It’s far from the record. Chris Johnson accumulated 2,509 yards from scrimmage in 2009. Taylor has the talent to break that record, but it has to be a perfect storm.

This seems like the right season to do it. The Colts have a rookie QB or Gardner Minshew, and they have a rookie head coach with a great offensive system. He’s going to LEAN on Taylor. They want to win right away. The easiest way to win is to get the ball to your best playmakers. There are few playmakers as good as Taylor.

Taylor needs 147 yards per game to break the record. That seems attainable. Taylor needs to be at the top of his game, like we said. If he can break 110 yards per game rushing, then he just needs 37 receiving yards per game to break the record. With Richardson looking to dump off often as a rookie, the Colts will have a record holder soon enough.
