Reliable rookie-chain mover with room to grow
Taylor’s first NFL season showed why teams valued him: in 2025, he caught 44 passes for 369 yards and 1 touchdown while starting 11 games for the Jets, and he added 136 yards after the catch, hinting at run-after-catch utility.[1][5] His calling card is reliability in traffic and steady target volume rather than splash-play production, but his 5 drops and modest 8.4 yards per catch show he’s still developing as a more complete downfield threat.[1] For a team that needs a young, trustworthy tight end who can stay on the field and win underneath, he’s a solid fit.[11]
