LSU TE Mason Taylor Reportedly Visits Dolphins, Son of Hall of Famer Jason Taylor

The Miami Dolphins are reportedly hosting a 2025 NFL draft prospect with family ties to the franchise.

NFL Network's Cameron Wolfe reported that LSU tight end Mason Taylor was in South Beach on Thursday for a pre-draft visit with the Dolphins. Taylor is the son of Pro Football Hall of Famer and Dolphins legend Jason Taylor, who spent 13 of his 15 NFL seasons in Miami.

The 20-year-old is coming off a strong junior season for the Tigers in which he registered career highs of 55 catches and 546 yards while also adding two touchdowns. At his pro day last month, he registered a 4.65 40-yard dash and completed 28 reps on the bench press:

B/R's NFL Scouting Department ranks Taylor as the No. 4 tight end in this year's draft class, so he could be a solid mid-round selection for the Dolphins, who will be picking at No. 13 in the first round. Miami owns 10 picks in this year's draft, giving the team the chance to add some major talent to its roster.

If the Dolphins choose to keep it in the family and draft Taylor, he would be a strong addition to a skilled crop of pass-catchers led by receivers Tyreek Hill and Jaylen Waddle and tight end Jonnu Smith.
