The Jets have selected LSU tight end Mason Taylor with the 42nd overall pick in the 2025 NFL Draft.
Height: 6-foot-5
Weight: 251 lbs
40-Yard Dash: 4.65 seconds
Vertical: 32.0 inches
Bench: 28
Broad Jump: N/A
2024 Stats: (12 Games) 55 receptions, 546 yards, two touchdowns
NFL.com: Ascending tight end with plus catch talent and Hall of Fame bloodlines. With just three seasons under Taylor’s belt, more growth is expected in both his game and frame. He’s a smooth athlete with adequate acceleration and the tools to become a more effective route runner in time. He feels defenders around him and catches with sudden hands and elevated focus when needed. He can handle blocking duties on the move or in space, but in-line action will be a challenge for him. His game needs polish, but Taylor has the ability to become a higher-volume target for a team looking to upgrade at the “F” tight end spot.
Bleacher Report: Mason Taylor projects as a top-two tight end on the offensive depth chart. He is a good and reliable pass catcher. Taylor can defeat man but excels against zone coverages where his instincts are essential. He can be an adequate starting tight end if given the opportunity.
The Jets boosted their offensive line in the first round with Armand Membou. They got another weapon for Justin Fields in the second with TE Mason Taylor. The 6-5, 251-pounder is a true receiving option at the position. He caught 55 passes for 546 yards and two touchdowns last year for LSU. Sources described Taylor as a "smooth operator" to SNY. He's long and athletic with the potential to develop into a true playmaker at the NFL level.
