LSU TE Record-Breaker Turned Jets Rookie with Elite Pedigree
Mason Taylor, son of Hall of Famer Jason Taylor, shattered LSU tight end records with 129 career receptions for 1,308 yards, including a dominant 2024 season of 55 catches for 546 yards and 2 TDs—first TE in program history over 100 catches/1,000 yards. In his 2025 NFL rookie year with the Jets, he posted 44 rec/369 yds/1 TD (8.4 YPR, 136 YAC), ranking mid-pack among TEs per PFF. Clutch performer (e.g., OT game-winner vs. Alabama), versatile YAC threat with 4.65 40-yard dash; reliable chain-mover but drop-prone (5 drops). Ideal for teams needing a tough, football-IQ tight end with star lineage.
