The five-foot-ten, 226-pound Indianapolis Colts running back carried the ball 332 times (the second-highest total in football since 2015) and rushed for 1,811 yards (552 more than any other player). And Taylor didn\u2019t miss a game. This season, he\u2019ll be expected to do the same thing. <\/p>\n<p class=\"css-18vfmjb et3p2gv0\">Taylor knows this won\u2019t be easy. He\u2014and the rest of the NFL\u2014is well aware of the workhorse-running-back abyss, the way players like him inevitably break down after just a few seasons of big hit after big hit. From Giants star Saquon Barkley, who started his career with back-to-back 1,000-yard seasons but hasn\u2019t played a full season since, to Carolina\u2019s Christian McCaffrey (remember him?), big-time running backs in today\u2019s NFL don\u2019t last long. <\/p>\n<p class=\"css-18vfmjb et3p2gv0\">Then again, Taylor\u2019s never been broken, not in three years at the University of Wisconsin (where he twice ran for 2,000-plus yards) and not in two seasons with Indy. And he doesn\u2019t plan to let that change, which is why he\u2019s borrowing from the NFL\u2019s original innovator of wellness, Tom Brady, and rethinking his training plan. <\/p>\n<p class=\"css-18vfmjb et3p2gv0\">Bigger, stronger, and faster have long been the goals most players have had in the off-season\u2014and they\u2019re the traits that draw the most attention at every training camp. But five years ago, when Brady released his best-selling <em>TB12 Method<\/em> book, the league began to change. Instead of just training till exhaustion to make quick fitness gains, Brady chased longevity, focusing on band and core work to stabilize and strengthen injury-prone joints and emphasizing recovery. This shift in training has been duplicated across the league (and in all of sports, really), with more players prepping with long-term goals in mind. <\/p>\n<div size=\"medium\" data-embed=\"body-image\" class=\"align-center size-medium embed css-zfwcs9 e1xqj1sx4\">\n<div class=\"css-uwraif e1xqj1sx3\"><img data-recalc-dims=\"1\" width=\"8100\" height=\"5403\" alt=\"jonathan taylor\" title=\"jonathan taylor\" fetchpriority=\"auto\" decoding=\"async\" src=\"https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/hips.hearstapps.com\/hmg-prod\/images\/hlh100122feanflinnovators-003-1662566802.jpg?resize=8100%2C5403&#038;ssl=1\" data-sizes=\"auto\" srcset=\"data:image\/gif;base64,R0lGODlhAQABAAAAACH5BAEKAAEALAAAAAABAAEAAAICTAEAOw==\" data-src=\"https:\/\/hips.hearstapps.com\/hmg-prod\/images\/hlh100122feanflinnovators-003-1662566802.jpg?crop=0.663xw:0.763xh;0.301xw,0.0204xh&amp;resize=480:*\" loading=\"lazy\" data-srcset=\"https:\/\/hips.hearstapps.com\/hmg-prod\/images\/hlh100122feanflinnovators-003-1662566802.jpg?crop=0.663xw:0.763xh;0.301xw,0.0204xh&amp;resize=980:* 1960w,https:\/\/hips.hearstapps.com\/hmg-prod\/images\/hlh100122feanflinnovators-003-1662566802.jpg?crop=0.663xw:0.763xh;0.301xw,0.0204xh&amp;resize=768:* 1536w,https:\/\/hips.hearstapps.com\/hmg-prod\/images\/hlh100122feanflinnovators-003-1662566802.jpg?crop=0.663xw:0.763xh;0.301xw,0.0204xh&amp;resize=640:* 1280w,https:\/\/hips.hearstapps.com\/hmg-prod\/images\/hlh100122feanflinnovators-003-1662566802.jpg?crop=0.663xw:0.763xh;0.301xw,0.0204xh&amp;resize=480:* 960w\" class=\"lqip lazyload css-0 e1lki9i00\"><\/p>\n<p><figcaption class=\"css-1am3yn9 enfs9c50\"><span class=\"css-1mvewdk e6iqukd2\">Andrew Hetherington<\/span><\/figcaption><\/p>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<p class=\"css-18vfmjb et3p2gv0\">Taylor was paying attention, and his take on longevity has him chasing a quality that increasingly eludes those who play his position: long-term durability. \u201cWe all know the sport we play\u2014injury rate is 100 percent,\u201d he says. \u201cSo being able to be flexible, be mobile, you hope everything you\u2019re doing in the off-season, all the work you do, mitigates your <br \/>chance of injury as much as possible.\u201d <\/p>\n<p class=\"css-18vfmjb et3p2gv0\">On this mid-July morning, Taylor is seated on a massage table at a gym in Weston, Florida. He takes a deep breath, then twists his torso, rotating his chest to the left. He holds for five seconds, then returns to the center and repeats the motion on the other side. Taylor barely blinks during the entire process. \u201cHe doesn\u2019t have an emotional response,\u201d says Jermaine Gordon, Taylor\u2019s massage therapist. \u201cJT knows what we\u2019re doing.\u201d It was Taylor who prompted Gordon to work this movement into his training. Early in the off-season, Taylor had approached the therapist to discuss his core muscles. Gordon discovered that there was room for improvement in the superstar running back\u2019s ability to rotate his torso. And Taylor was excited to address this. So trunk-rotation training became a summer point of emphasis. Says Gordon: \u201cJT knew exactly what he needed.\u201d <\/p>\n<hr class=\"css-18pb4rg et3p2gv0\">\n<p class=\"css-18vfmjb et3p2gv0\"><strong>DON&#8217;T WORRY:<\/strong> This story isn\u2019t all about trunk rotations. Because Taylor\u2019s bulletproofing summer involves more. It\u2019s 7:00 a.m., three hours before trunk-rotation time, and Taylor is on a turf field on an extra-humid 82 degree day that\u2019s only going to get hotter. <\/p>\n<p class=\"css-18vfmjb et3p2gv0\">Part of his pursuit of longevity involves maintaining the unique breakaway speed and strength he already has. So for about three hours a day, six days a week, he trains. There are classic weight-room sessions that have him benching as much as 375 pounds and plenty of sprint drills to help him preserve (and maybe even improve) his electric 4.39-second 40-yard-dash speed.<\/p>\n<div size=\"medium\" data-embed=\"body-image\" class=\"align-right size-medium embed css-dlg2pa e1xqj1sx4\">\n<div class=\"css-uwraif e1xqj1sx3\"><img data-recalc-dims=\"1\" width=\"430\" height=\"389\" alt=\"we all know the sport we play injury rate is 100 percent\" title=\"we all know the sport we play injury rate is 100 percent\" fetchpriority=\"auto\" decoding=\"async\" src=\"https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/hips.hearstapps.com\/hmg-prod\/images\/taylor-pq2-1662753364.png?resize=430%2C389&#038;ssl=1\" data-sizes=\"auto\" srcset=\"data:image\/gif;base64,R0lGODlhAQABAAAAACH5BAEKAAEALAAAAAABAAEAAAICTAEAOw==\" data-src=\"https:\/\/hips.hearstapps.com\/hmg-prod\/images\/taylor-pq2-1662753364.png?resize=480:*\" loading=\"lazy\" data-srcset=\"https:\/\/hips.hearstapps.com\/hmg-prod\/images\/taylor-pq2-1662753364.png?resize=480:* 960w,https:\/\/hips.hearstapps.com\/hmg-prod\/images\/taylor-pq2-1662753364.png?resize=320:* 640w\" class=\"lqip lazyload css-0 e1lki9i00\"><\/div>\n<\/div>\n<p class=\"css-18vfmjb et3p2gv0\">The length of Taylor\u2019s sessions seems to run counter to his objective of durability, especially in this fitness era. More and more, trainers encourage clients to work through shorter sessions and focus on recovery to make their greatest gains. But Taylor\u2019s trainer, Adam Boily, sees training duration differently. On Sundays, Taylor will take to the field for three to four hours. His body needs to understand those rigors. <\/p>\n<p class=\"css-18vfmjb et3p2gv0\">Taylor and Boily have revamped his three-hour sessions, though. Increasingly, they spend time helping the running back\u2019s body recover. \u201cBack in the day, we trained hard, we were out in the sun, we were doing three hours a day, then recovery, then medical, then nutrition,\u201d Boily says. \u201cNow the workouts are getting more efficient. But that should only mean you have more time to do more work.\u201d <\/p>\n<p class=\"css-18vfmjb et3p2gv0\">Taylor doesn\u2019t mind. Clad in a long-sleeved windbreaker, he starts with a 25-minute (yes, that long) warmup that includes barefoot footwork drills and sled drags to hone his running technique. He finishes with movement prep: Six small yellow squares are lined up, with the corners touching to form a circle. Every few seconds, Boily points to a square. <\/p>\n<p class=\"css-18vfmjb et3p2gv0\">Taylor must quickly step one foot into the square, then back to the center, all while continuing to shuffle his feet. <\/p>\n<div size=\"medium\" data-embed=\"body-image\" class=\"align-center size-medium embed css-zfwcs9 e1xqj1sx4\">\n<div class=\"css-uwraif e1xqj1sx3\"><img data-recalc-dims=\"1\" width=\"3822\" height=\"4946\" alt=\"jonathan taylor\" title=\"jonathan taylor\" fetchpriority=\"auto\" decoding=\"async\" src=\"https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/hips.hearstapps.com\/hmg-prod\/images\/hlh100122feanflinnovators-004-1662566344.jpg?resize=3822%2C4946&#038;ssl=1\" data-sizes=\"auto\" srcset=\"data:image\/gif;base64,R0lGODlhAQABAAAAACH5BAEKAAEALAAAAAABAAEAAAICTAEAOw==\" data-src=\"https:\/\/hips.hearstapps.com\/hmg-prod\/images\/hlh100122feanflinnovators-004-1662566344.jpg?crop=0.827xw:0.913xh;0.0884xw,0.00263xh&amp;resize=480:*\" loading=\"lazy\" data-srcset=\"https:\/\/hips.hearstapps.com\/hmg-prod\/images\/hlh100122feanflinnovators-004-1662566344.jpg?crop=0.827xw:0.913xh;0.0884xw,0.00263xh&amp;resize=980:* 1960w,https:\/\/hips.hearstapps.com\/hmg-prod\/images\/hlh100122feanflinnovators-004-1662566344.jpg?crop=0.827xw:0.913xh;0.0884xw,0.00263xh&amp;resize=768:* 1536w,https:\/\/hips.hearstapps.com\/hmg-prod\/images\/hlh100122feanflinnovators-004-1662566344.jpg?crop=0.827xw:0.913xh;0.0884xw,0.00263xh&amp;resize=640:* 1280w,https:\/\/hips.hearstapps.com\/hmg-prod\/images\/hlh100122feanflinnovators-004-1662566344.jpg?crop=0.827xw:0.913xh;0.0884xw,0.00263xh&amp;resize=480:* 960w\" class=\"lqip lazyload css-0 e1lki9i00\"><\/p>\n<p><figcaption class=\"css-1am3yn9 enfs9c50\"><span class=\"css-1mvewdk e6iqukd2\">Andrew Hetherington<\/span><\/figcaption><\/p>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<p class=\"css-18vfmjb et3p2gv0\">The drill, which Boily calls the \u201cin-place, multidirectional edge work\u201d exercise, represents another innovative shift in Taylor\u2019s training. Yes, plenty of players do footwork drills, but few do them as frequently as Taylor does. Boily\u2019s program has him taking them on several times weekly\u2014and with them, he\u2019s accomplishing more than honing his agility. Whenever he pushes off his foot, he\u2019s teaching his ankle muscles and tendons to absorb the force of his body at a different angle, insulating a key joint against injury. <\/p>\n<p class=\"css-18vfmjb et3p2gv0\">Taylor does this near flawlessly for three 30-second rounds. In between, Boily watches Taylor\u2019s three training partners slip during the demanding sequence, which serves as a reminder that the Colt is a special athlete. \u201cHis body is biomechanically set up for athleticism,\u201d says Boily. \u201cThe way his feet and ankles are, the way his hips and bone structure is\u2009.\u2009.\u2009.\u2009the structure of the way he\u2019s set up is built for power and speed.\u201d<\/p>\n<p class=\"css-18vfmjb et3p2gv0\">Taylor knows he needs more\u2014and he has known that since he started working with Boily three years ago. Boily prides himself not merely on working out players but also on educating them. That jibed with the curious Taylor, who wants to understand every adjustment his trainers make. Boily enjoys focusing on the little things, too, so he has happily worked with Taylor to correct his oblique imbalance. He has also worked to improve Taylor\u2019s ankle mobility, teaching him to dorsiflex, or upwardly flex his feet, more effectively. This just might make Taylor harder to tackle in 2022\u2014and it\u2019ll help safeguard his ankles against injury, too. \u201cAnkles,\u201d Boily says, \u201care of the utmost importance to athletes.\u201d<\/p>\n<div size=\"large\" data-embed=\"body-image\" class=\"align-center size-large embed css-c7cw26 e1xqj1sx4\">\n<div class=\"css-uwraif e1xqj1sx3\" readability=\"7\"><img data-recalc-dims=\"1\" width=\"6881\" height=\"4590\" alt=\"jonathan taylor\" title=\"jonathan taylor\" fetchpriority=\"auto\" decoding=\"async\" src=\"https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/hips.hearstapps.com\/hmg-prod\/images\/hlh100122feanflinnovators-002-1662566979.jpg?resize=6881%2C4590&#038;ssl=1\" data-sizes=\"auto\" srcset=\"data:image\/gif;base64,R0lGODlhAQABAAAAACH5BAEKAAEALAAAAAABAAEAAAICTAEAOw==\" data-src=\"https:\/\/hips.hearstapps.com\/hmg-prod\/images\/hlh100122feanflinnovators-002-1662566979.jpg?resize=480:*\" loading=\"lazy\" data-srcset=\"https:\/\/hips.hearstapps.com\/hmg-prod\/images\/hlh100122feanflinnovators-002-1662566979.jpg?resize=2048:* 4096w,https:\/\/hips.hearstapps.com\/hmg-prod\/images\/hlh100122feanflinnovators-002-1662566979.jpg?resize=980:* 1960w,https:\/\/hips.hearstapps.com\/hmg-prod\/images\/hlh100122feanflinnovators-002-1662566979.jpg?resize=768:* 1536w,https:\/\/hips.hearstapps.com\/hmg-prod\/images\/hlh100122feanflinnovators-002-1662566979.jpg?resize=480:* 960w\" class=\"lqip lazyload css-0 e1lki9i00\"><\/p>\n<div class=\"css-1gccgwy e1xqj1sx2\" readability=\"9\">\n<p>Jonathan Taylor spent his summer training on a Florida turf field, doing exercises like this resisted sled high-knee run.<\/p><figcaption class=\"css-1am3yn9 enfs9c50\"><span class=\"css-1mvewdk e6iqukd2\">Andrew Hetherington<\/span><\/figcaption><\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<p class=\"css-18vfmjb et3p2gv0\">These are the tips that Taylor appreciates, the adjustments that can simultaneously keep him healthy and help him squeeze a little more athleticism out of his already optimized body. And after three years with Boily, he\u2019s learned plenty of others. When there\u2019s a lull in the session, Taylor talks about his love of bodyweight isometrics, like pushup holds and squat holds. They\u2019ve helped him strengthen his \u201cend range of motion,\u201d he says, essentially ensuring that his muscles and joints can maintain stability when, say, his knee is bent to its max or his shoulder is stretched overhead at an awkward angle. <\/p>\n<p class=\"css-18vfmjb et3p2gv0\">Taylor slips into full-on trainer-speak when explaining his final speed drill, the overspeed sprint. He straps a band to his waist and hands one end to Boily, who lines up ten yards away. Boily starts running away from Taylor, as fast as he can, practically dragging the player behind him. Taylor starts sprinting all out, faster than ever thanks to the momentum Boily\u2019s created. \u201cIt allows you to run faster than you necessarily can on your own,\u201d Taylor says, \u201cbut it trains or programs the body to get used to that speed. So now, you do it with enough repetitions, your body is like, \u2018Oh, I can move that fast.\u2019\u201d<\/p>\n<div size=\"medium\" data-embed=\"body-image\" class=\"align-center size-medium embed css-zfwcs9 e1xqj1sx4\">\n<div class=\"css-uwraif e1xqj1sx3\"><img data-recalc-dims=\"1\" width=\"7609\" height=\"5075\" alt=\"jonathan taylor\" title=\"MHX\" fetchpriority=\"auto\" decoding=\"async\" src=\"https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/hips.hearstapps.com\/hmg-prod\/images\/hlh100122feanflinnovators-001-1662567497.jpg?resize=7609%2C5075&#038;ssl=1\" data-sizes=\"auto\" srcset=\"data:image\/gif;base64,R0lGODlhAQABAAAAACH5BAEKAAEALAAAAAABAAEAAAICTAEAOw==\" data-src=\"https:\/\/hips.hearstapps.com\/hmg-prod\/images\/hlh100122feanflinnovators-001-1662567497.jpg?crop=0.602xw:1.00xh;0.240xw,0&amp;resize=480:*\" loading=\"lazy\" data-srcset=\"https:\/\/hips.hearstapps.com\/hmg-prod\/images\/hlh100122feanflinnovators-001-1662567497.jpg?crop=0.602xw:1.00xh;0.240xw,0&amp;resize=980:* 1960w,https:\/\/hips.hearstapps.com\/hmg-prod\/images\/hlh100122feanflinnovators-001-1662567497.jpg?crop=0.602xw:1.00xh;0.240xw,0&amp;resize=768:* 1536w,https:\/\/hips.hearstapps.com\/hmg-prod\/images\/hlh100122feanflinnovators-001-1662567497.jpg?crop=0.602xw:1.00xh;0.240xw,0&amp;resize=640:* 1280w,https:\/\/hips.hearstapps.com\/hmg-prod\/images\/hlh100122feanflinnovators-001-1662567497.jpg?crop=0.602xw:1.00xh;0.240xw,0&amp;resize=480:* 960w\" class=\"lqip lazyload css-0 e1lki9i00\"><\/p>\n<p><figcaption class=\"css-1am3yn9 enfs9c50\"><span class=\"css-1mvewdk e6iqukd2\">Andrew Hetherington<\/span><\/figcaption><\/p>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<p class=\"css-18vfmjb et3p2gv0\">Three sprints later (with plenty of rest in between), Taylor changes shirts, then hits the weight room, working through heavy bench-press reps. Once he\u2019s done with that, he saunters over to the training table so Gordon can put him through those trunk rotations and several other stretches. And as always, Taylor asks Gordon questions the entire time. \u201cHe\u2019s a student of his body and willing to try new things,\u201d Gordon says. \u201cYes, there are players like that, but I\u2019d say usually later in their career.\u201d <\/p>\n<p class=\"css-18vfmjb et3p2gv0\">But for Taylor, the chase for longevity means asking those questions now. Because trunk rotations and ankle dorsiflexion are just as important as speed and strength work. \u201cSome guys are crazy good and talented, even without all those things that can benefit them,\u201d he says. \u201cThen imagine them doing all these things. It\u2019s insane to think about.\u201d <\/p>\n<p class=\"css-18vfmjb et3p2gv0\">Or it\u2019s Jonathan Taylor, circa 2027\u2014and still the best running back in the league.<\/p>\n<p class=\"css-18vfmjb et3p2gv0\"><strong>This story appears in the October 2022 issue of <em>Men&#8217;s Health.<\/em><\/strong><\/p>\n<div itemprop=\"author\" itemscope itemtype=\"http:\/\/schema.org\/Person\" class=\"css-raq4ya e19xk9rq3\" readability=\"8.9201877934272\">\n<p>Anna Katherine Clemmons is an adjunct professor of Media Studies at the University of Virginia, and has written for numerous publications, including ESPN the Magazine and The New York Times.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Andrew Hetherington NO PLAYER TOOK more of a pounding last season than 23-year-old Jonathan Taylor.
