Mason Taylor to Play "Crucial" Role in Jets' Offense
Mason Taylor is "going to be a crucial part of the offense immediately," according to Zack Rosenblatt of The Athletic. A second-round pick out of LSU, Taylor appears to be the clear top dog in a Jets tight end room that also includes Jeremy Ruckert, Stone Smartt, and Zack Kuntz. Rosenblatt also notes that Taylor is one of many of this year's second-rounders who have yet to sign a rookie contract, so he is at risk of not being in camp this weekend when Jets rookies are due to report. In 12 games last year at LSU, Taylor recorded 55 catches for 546 yards and two touchdowns. The Jets figure to be a run-heavy offense behind dual-threat quarterback Justin Fields and star running back Breece Hall. However, there is an opportunity for pass-catchers to emerge behind wide receiver Garrett Wilson, who is the clear number one target for Fields.
