2025 Rookie Profile: Mason Taylor (TE) LSU
Welcome to the 2025 fantasy football season. FullTime Fantasy‘s annual rookie reports next present 2025 Rookie Profile: Mason Taylor, the standout tight end for the LSU Tigers.
College Resume
Mason Taylor, a three-year starter at LSU, emerged as one of the most productive tight ends in the program’s history. The son of Pro Football Hall of Fame defensive end Jason Taylor, he showcased a high football IQ and versatility, splitting time between in-line and slot alignments. A 2022 Freshman All-SEC selection and 2024 Third-Team All-SEC honoree, Taylor set LSU tight end records with 129 career receptions and 1,308 receiving yards, becoming the first LSU tight end to surpass 100 receptions and 1,000 yards.
He caught at least one pass in 28 straight games to close his college career and was named a 2025 Senior Bowl participant. His clutch performance, including a game-winning two-point conversion against Alabama in 2022, highlighted his reliability in high-pressure situations.
College Stats (2022-2024)
2022 (Freshman): 38 receptions, 414 yards, 3 TD
2023 (Sophomore): 36 receptions, 348 yards, 1 TD
2024 (Junior): 55 receptions, 546 yards, 2 TD
Career Totals: 129 receptions, 1,308 yards, 6 TD
Notable: 72 of 129 receptions (56%) resulted in first downs; 701 yards came after the catch (YAC). In 2024, he had a 1.8% drop rate and split snaps: 45.1% in-line, 44.6% slot, 9.0% wide.

Scouting Profile
Strengths
Taylor is a chain-moving pass-catcher with reliable hands and sharp route-running instincts, particularly against zone coverage. His 68% conversion rate for first downs underscores his ability to keep drives alive. He manipulates defenders with subtle head fakes and tempo changes, displaying a nuanced understanding of spacing.
His versatility—splitting time nearly 50/50 between in-line and slot roles—makes him a scheme-fit for modern NFL offenses. Taylor’s contested-catch ability and low drop rate (1.8% in 2024) highlight his dependability, while his 701 YAC yards show he’s a threat after the catch. As a blocker, he’s more effective in space, using angles and timing to seal defenders, and he’s shown growth as a downfield receiver.
Weaknesses
Taylor’s blocking in-line needs refinement. His high pad level and technical flaws often lead to him being driven back by power rushers, limiting his effectiveness against defensive ends in one-on-one situations. He’s not an elite athlete, with average speed (4.65 forty) that may struggle to separate against NFL safeties in man coverage. His 6 TD in 38 games suggest he’s not a primary red-zone threat, and his play strength requires further development to handle the physicality of NFL defenses.
