Jets Had Talks With ‘Hall of Fame Bloodlines’ 6-Foot-5 Monster Target
The New York Jets continue to do their homework on the tight end class ahead of the 2025 NFL draft.
LSU tight end Mason Taylor is one player they have met with multiple times throughout this pre-draft process.
Taylor is the son of Pro Football Hall of Famer and former Jet Jason Taylor. “Ascending tight end with plus catch talent and Hall of Fame bloodlines,” NFL draft analyst Lance Zierlein said.
Taylor measured in at the NFL combine at 6-foot-5 and tipped the scales at 251 pounds.
If the Jets Want Taylor They Might Have to Be Aggressive to Land Him
Taylor, 20, is ranked as the No. 41 overall player on Jordan Reid’s big board for ESPN. Reid said he gave Taylor a “mid-second-round grade” and “it won’t be surprising if he is selected in [the] first 50 picks.”
The Jets hold two picks inside the top-50 of the 2025 NFL draft. Taylor won’t be selected with a top 10 pick, but the No. 42 overall pick in the second round is definitely in play.
Reid said Taylor on the Jets is a landing spot “that makes a ton of sense” in the second round.
On Wednesday, March 26, Taylor dominated at the LSU Pro Day.
He posted a 4.65 40-yard dash and cranked out 28 bench press reps of 225 pounds. Both of those figures would have ranked second best among tight ends at the 2025 NFL combine.
