Over the last several decades, tight end has not been a position of abundance for the Jets. It certainly doesn’t look to be a spot where the Jets have great depth in 2025, but there is a promising rookie in the mix.
The Rookie Hope
Mason Taylor
The Jets selected Taylor in the second round of the 2025 NFL Draft. In an ideal world, a second round tight end could start off as the number two or even number three player at the position. That would provide the player a chance to get his feet wet in the NFL playing limited snaps and focusing on a handful of concepts. From there, he could grow to take on the number one tight end role in a year or two.
Because of the lack of quality at the position, Taylor will receive no such luxury. He will be tossed into the starting lineup immediately.
