The Packers-Patriots preseason game was suspended early in the fourth quarter, but there was still plenty to take away beforehand.
Wilson cooled off after his six-carry, 111-yard, two-touchdown breakout last week, but he still ran for an efficient 63 yards on 15 carries and caught two passes for 15 yards against the Patriots. Taylor had an impressive bounce outside for an 8-yard touchdown run Saturday night and probably surpasses Wilson in two areas vital to a third running back’s skill set — pass protection and special teams.
Wilson seems to be the better runner than Taylor, but Wilson wouldn’t be asked to run much in the regular season, if at all, if Jones and Dillon stay healthy. “I thought Wilson ran really hard,” LaFleur said. “He ran with really good power, ran through some arm tackles, ran with low pad level. I thought he had an outstanding day. This is two games in a row. Excited for him. There’s a lot of things he needs to continue to improve upon and I think like most young backs, pass protection is one of those, as well as just getting in better football shape.
