Today on NFL on NBC, we had the pleasure of hosting Mason Taylor, son of the legendary Jason Taylor. Mason, a former defensive end turned tight end, shared how his dad's guidance led him to switch positions due to his impressive catching abilities. Unlike his bald-headed father, Mason hopes to keep his hair intact, unlike his brother who's experiencing a receding hairline. Despite his dad's lack of hands, Mason credits his catching skills to his mom's side of the family.
Mason emphasized the importance of being present and focusing on the little details to improve as a complete tight end in the NFL. He expressed openness to playing for any team, whether continuing his family legacy with the Miami Dolphins or carving his path elsewhere. Reflecting on his time at LSU, Mason highlighted the Alabama game as a testament to his resilience and ability to perform under pressure, showcasing his maturity on the field.
Impressed by Jaden Daniel's work ethic and dedication to using virtual reality for training, Mason shared his admiration for the quarterback's approach to the game. As he prepares for the NFL draft, Mason remains focused on enhancing his techniques and becoming a reliable player in crucial moments. With a desire to make clutch plays as a rookie, Mason looks forward to showcasing his skills and making a name for himself in the league, regardless of the jersey number he wears.
