Colts RB Jonathan Taylor fourth among NFL players in Pro Bowl voting

Colts superstar Jonathan Taylor has the fourth-most votes of any NFL player in the first round of Pro Bowl voting revealed today by the league.

Taylor has received 25,134 votes, trailing only New England quarterback Drake Maye (31,452), Seahawks wide receiver Jaxon Smith-Njigba (27,162) and Packers edge rusher Micah Parsons (25,155) in voting results up to 11 a.m. on Monday.

Taylor, a borderline MVP candidate, leads the NFL with 1,282 yards and 17 total touchdowns, picking up 15 on the ground and two through the air, along with 35 catches for 304 yards, his most productive receiving season in years.

The team’s best player is not the only Colt near the top of the voting list.

Left guard Quenton Nelson and rookie tight end Tyler Warren rank first in the AFC in Pro Bowl voting at their position, second overall behind Bears guard Joe Thuney and Cardinals tight end Trey McBride, respectively.

Nelson, who has been named to the Pro Bowl in all seven seasons in the league, is in the middle of another stellar campaign, the leader and the best player on a good Indianapolis line.

Warren, a Nelson clone in terms of his approach to the game, has 58 catches for 684 yards and four touchdowns, along with a rushing touchdown, while lining up all over the field for Indianapolis. Only established Kansas City star Travis Kelce has more receiving yards in the AFC.

Quarterback Daniel Jones (6th), free safety Camryn Bynum (7th), strong safety Nick Cross (8th) and defensive tackle DeForest Buckner (9th) round out the list of Colts among the top 10 at their positions in early Pro Bowl voting, which ends Dec. 15th.

Fan voting is only one-third of the voting that leads to the actual Pro Bowl rosters. Players and coaches also get a vote.
