The Miami Dolphins find themselves in a fascinating situation entering the 2025 NFL Draft, with a familiar name appearing on their radar.
LSU tight end Mason Taylor has emerged as a legitimate prospect worth consideration, and, yes, he happens to be the son of Dolphins legend Jason Taylor.
While the family connection adds intrigue, Mason Taylor has established himself as a standout talent in his own right.
Known for his athleticism and refined skill set, he has worked his way into draft conversations for several teams.
The Dolphins, seemingly intrigued by his potential, have arranged to meet with him.
“LSU TE Mason Taylor visiting the Miami Dolphins today, per source. Mason is son of Hall of Fame Dolphins legend Jason Taylor. Taylor, projected to be drafted between late 1st and top half of 2nd round, has a 30 visit with [Cleveland] Browns Monday. He also visited the [Seattle] Seahawks & [Los Angeles] Chargers,” Cameron Wolfe of NFL Network wrote on X.

At 6-foot-5 and 256 pounds, Taylor represents the modern tight end prototype that NFL teams covet.
Rather than being limited to traditional tight end duties, he’s shown the ability to create mismatches and generate explosive plays.
Last season, he made 55 receptions for 546 yards, setting a new LSU record for tight ends.
The Dolphins’ interest makes perfect sense from a football perspective. For a team built on offensive creativity and versatility, Taylor could provide another dynamic weapon.
His combination of size, reliable hands and athletic ability fits well with Miami’s existing offensive philosophy.
What sets this story apart isn’t merely the father-son connection, it’s the practical football value Mason Taylor brings to the table.
While his father dominated on defense, Mason Taylor would contribute in entirely different ways, potentially adding a new dimension to the passing game and giving Dolphins fans another Taylor to celebrate for years to come.
