Tennessee Titans return specialist Chimere Dike has the respect of Indianapolis Colts running back Jonathan Taylor.
Dike, along with Taylor were named Pro Bowlers in the AFC this year. The former’s 17.3 yards per punt return, in addition to his two punt return touchdowns led the NFL. However, those numbers don’t tell the entire story.
When speaking about Dike to Jim Wyatt of Tennesseetitans.com at Pro Bowl practice on Tuesday, Taylor chronicled his work on and off the field from his days at Wisconsin until now:
”I 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,” Taylor said regarding Dike’s. “And 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.”
Dike went for 2,427 all-purpose yards in 2025. The Wisconsin native’s speed, as well as his shiftiness enabled him to exploit opponents’ oppositional fronts in the return game. Taylor’s assessment of the 24-year-old testifies to the level of play that earned Dike a spot on this year’s Pro Bowl team as a rookie.
