Earlier this week, Ivan Fears said J.J. Taylor was just waiting for his shot.

It has arrived in the Meadowlands.

Feels like Rex Burkhead 1.5

ESPN's Mike Reiss reports that Patriots RB J.J. Taylor "looks noticeably bigger" as the Patriots conduct their voluntary offseason program.

Reiss speculates that Taylor "might now be more physically able to handle" blocking assignments with the extra weight. Taylor has been listed at 5-foot-6 and 185 pounds. James White stands between Taylor and a real role as New England's passing downs back. If Taylor can gain muscle without sacrificing explosiveness, he still has a chance to become fantasy-relevant.
