“Let’s say on an average season with 17 games now, you have 1,200 plays on each side of the ball,” McDaniel said, via PFT. “And how many of those plays are the running backs touching it? It’s a valuable position that you have to have depth at. It’s a big portion of your touches and you understand that in that process, that you have to have a good solid group for the team and for your offense for the whole year. … And I got my feet wet, really, in NFL game planning in the run game. So it’s near and dear to my heart.”

The depth that McDaniels is talking about is why everyone thinks he’s talking about the possibility of adding Taylor. If he ends up signing with Miami, the former 41st overall pick would join Raheem Mostert, Jeff Wilson and Devon Achane in a very talented running backs room that the team already has.
