What It Means:

Hensley notes that Taliaferro worked behind Terrance West all spring. Justin Forsett, Javorius Allen, and rookie Kenneth Dixon are considered roster locks, with Taliaferro battling West and Trent Richardson for the final tailback spot. T-Rich recently underwent knee surgery and is probably out of the mix.

On 68 carries in 2014, Taliaferro accumulated a -0.03 Rushing Net Expected Points per attempt mark. This was the 29th-most among the 72 running backs with at least 50 carries that year.
