Although both of these backs will share the bulk of the carries with veteran backs in year one, they both have the potential to be the focal points of their teams’ rushing attacks as early as their second seasons.

Marlon Mack is set to become an unrestricted free agent next offseason, opening the door for Taylor to cement his spot as the Colts feature back. The likelihood of Mack getting re-signed by Indy is doubftul — he’ll probably garner some solid money on the open market.

In Baltimore, while Ingram is coming off one of his best statistical seasons as a pro, he’ll be 30 years old heading into next season. The 30 year mark for running backs usually means a decline in production is on the horizon.

Ingram still has two years left on his current deal, but depending on how good Dobbins is early on in his career, the Ravens could opt to release Ingram following the 2020 season.

Both the Colts and the Ravens place a heavy emphasis on the running game, which makes predicting which of these rookie backs will have the better career nearly impossible.

Most scouts will tell you that Taylor has the higher ceiling of the two, though, as he drew comparisons to Ezekiel Elliot frequently leading up to the draft.

At the end of the day, both Taylor and Dobbins should have very solid careers.
