42-217 (5.2) vs AP in 2025. 986 yds and 10 TDs on almost 5 yards a carry in 2024, Darius is a patient but physical running back, who loves living in between the tackles. Patient in between the tackles, waits to strike and then boom, books it to the end zone. Reminiscent of James Conner. Coming off Aug 2024 Leg INJ. Spent the 2023 season as a teammate of Buffalo's rookie wide receiver Skyler Bell back when Bell was playing for the Wisconsin.
Put any two prospects head-to-head — a 2027 NFL Draft hopeful or anyone on a 2026 NCAA roster — and Fanspeak stacks their position-relevant stats and Draft Simulator signals in one view.
Choose any two players from the 2027 NFL Draft class or the 2026 NCAA roster — search by name or tap a suggestion. Pick one and the other slot narrows to the same position so the matchup stays like-for-like.
Their measurements and 2026 college production line up side-by-side — only the stats that matter for the position, with the winner of each row checked.
Weigh the community's read: Fanspeak Consensus rank, position rank, ADP, mock-draft volume, hype, and the NFL team each prospect gets drafted to most.
Darius Taylor and CJ Baxter are compared here on Fanspeak's 2027 NFL Draft data — body measurements, position-relevant college production, the community consensus big board, average draft position across thousands of mock drafts, and how often each prospect shows up in those mocks. Rather than one scout's take, the matchup reflects where the draft community as a whole values each player.
Consensus rank is the cleanest single signal: a lower number means the crowd boards the prospect earlier. ADP layers in mock-draft behavior, and mock-draft volume tells you which prospect the community is paying attention to. The stat comparison checks the winner of each metric.
10-40 (4.0) and 5 recepts for 25 vs Ohio State. After missing the entirety of the 2024 season due to a knee injury, Baxter suffered a season-ending injury in August 2024 during practice with a torn MCL and PCL, but he's on track to recover fully and the 2023 tape was a treat, showcasing great explosiveness and a career-high of 29 missed tackles forced. Considered a starting running back for the Texas Longhorns, though his availability is currently impacted by a hamstring injury. His cousin was RB Greg Bryant, who was shot, and he's friends with Rams WR KR Jordan Whittington.
