Taylor and Jones-Drew combined for 2,087 yards, the most ever by two Jaguars rushers. Taylor ran for 1,202 yards on 223 runs as a team captain in 2007, a career-high 5.4 yards-per-carry average in 15 games started. Taylor exceeded 10,000 career running yards on November 11 against the Tennessee Titans. He became just the 16th player in NFL history to do so. A native of Pinehurst, North Carolina, Taylor was drafted by Jacksonville after playing college football at Clemson University. He was selected by the Jaguars with the ninth overall pick in the 2006 NFL Draft. Taylor led the league in rushing yards per game (115.8) in 2007 before being sidelined for most of the season with a knee injury. He returned in 2008 and had another strong campaign, finishing second in the voting for the NFL MVP Award. Jones-Drew joined the Jaguars as a first-round draft choice in 2009 and became the first rookie to lead the league in rushing since Clinton Portis in 2005. He finished the season with 1,409 yards from scrimmage and 14 touchdowns. Taylor and Jones-Drew combined for 24 touchdowns in 2010, but they also combined for seven lost fumbles. Fumble recovery statistics are not released by the NFL office, but it is estimated that about 50 percent of all fumbles are recovered by the opposing team.
