Jonathan Taylor accomplished all of these things before the age of 23. While it is impressive, it also sets the bar incredibly high for his future.
If his first 22 years on earth have shown anything, it’s that he’s well equipped to exceed expectations. At this pace, Taylor’s resume at age 30 will be longer than a Martin Scorsese movie.
Hopefully, for Taylor and Indianapolis fans, that resume includes at least one championship.
