With Carson Wentz the new quarterback of the Washington Commanders — a deal that was made with the Indianapolis Colts earlier this month — standout running back Jonathan Taylor will be taking handoffs from a third, new starting quarterback in as many seasons in Indianapolis this fall.

While the Colts haven’t named or found their starting guy just yet, one thing is certain — it won’t be Wentz, who was traded to Washington for two third-round draft picks.

Taylor, who was selected by the Colts with the No. 41 overall pick in the 2020 NFL Draft, had a record-setting season and said he’ll definitely miss the veteran QB.

"I’m definitely sad to see Carson go," Taylor said. "He was amazing in the locker room and on the field as well. You look at some of the plays he made on the field, but off the field he was an amazing guy always. He made sure to get in contact with everyone on the team."

Taylor, 23, was selected as the 63rd Bert Bell Professional Player of the Year Award, an award voted on by NFL owners, NFL head and personnel coaches, media members and the Maxwell Football Club.
