Jim Wyatt of Tennesseetitans.com<\/a> at Pro Bowl practice on Tuesday, Taylor chronicled his work on and off the field from his days at Wisconsin until now:<\/p>\n\u201dI knew that he was a great kid. Had a really good head on his shoulders. He was ready to work, and I think that guys could really see that as he progressed throughout his years,\u201d Taylor said regarding Dike\u2019s. \u201cAnd then now of course, you see him having success in the league. Being here at the Pro Bowl. I think the most scrimmage yards in the NFL. I mean, really electric.\u201d<\/p>\n
Dike went for 2,427 all-purpose yards in 2025. The Wisconsin native\u2019s speed, as well as his shiftiness enabled him to exploit opponents\u2019 oppositional fronts in the return game. Taylor\u2019s assessment of the 24-year-old testifies to the level of play that earned Dike a spot on this year\u2019s Pro Bowl team as a rookie.<\/p>\n
