Rookie tight end Mason Taylor, son of Hall of Fame pass rusher, shining at Jets camp

FLORHAM PARK, N.J. (AP) — Mason Taylor remembers running around the fields as a wide-eyed kid at New York Jets training camp, visiting his famous father and rooting him on at games. He's back, 15 years later. And now, it's his turn. The rookie tight end, son of Pro Football Hall of Famer Jason Taylor, has been one of the standout performers through the Jets' first nine camp practices. Taylor, a second-round pick out of LSU, is making plays and impressing his coaches and teammates. 'Mason, he doesn't talk a lot, he does work a lot, though,' quarterback Justin Fields said. 'From the moment he got here, he's been working, his head down working. He doesn't make really any mental mistakes, at least from what I've seen. He's a great route runner, he's smooth, has natural hands, so he's been great so far.' The 21-year-old Taylor, whose uncle is Hall of Famer Zach Thomas, received a text from his father the night before camp opened, offering him some sound advice. 'Really just stay where your feet are,' Taylor recalled. 'I mean, we always say that in our family — day by day, you know, attack the day, get better every single day and really just be where your feet are. Don't look into the future, don't look into the past and just take advantage of every moment you get.' Jason Taylor would certainly know all about that. Recognized as one of the NFL's greatest pass rushers with 139 1/2 sacks, the elder Taylor made a name for himself during 11 outstanding seasons playing for Miami and then one in Washington before joining Rex Ryan's Jets in 2010. New York was one of the league's best teams that season, reaching the AFC championship game — one win away from the Super Bowl. The Jets' kicker was Nick Folk, who just re-signed with the team — and now has the distinction of having been teammates with both Jason and Mason Taylor. 'It's a crazy, crazy world,' Mason Taylor said with a big smile. 'I mean, it's crazy to think about and now that he's on my team, it's a blessing, for sure.' Taylor is in position to have a major role on the Jets' offense as a rookie. He was listed Sunday on the team's first unofficial depth chart as a backup to Jeremy Ruckert, but the 6-foot-5, 251-pound Taylor is expected to see his fair share of snaps — especially if he continues with his impressive summer. 'The receiving skills, listen, that doesn't surprise me, I know he can do that,' coach Aaron Glenn said. "His blocking, I know he can block, but I didn't think it was going to be this good. So, I'm excited to see how he matures when it comes to camp on how we want to do things as far as that is concerned.' In three seasons at LSU, Taylor had 129 catches for 1,308 yards and six TDs, establishing himself as the most productive tight end in school history and one of the top players at his position in the country. The Jets parted ways this winter with Tyler Conklin, their top pass-catching tight end, by allowing him to leave in free agency. So, New York was in need of a complement to wide receiver Garrett Wilson and provide Fields another reliable outlet in the passing game. New general manager Darren Mougey jumped on the chance to bring in Taylor, who has made that selection look smart. 'I think it's been pretty good,' Taylor said of his progress. 'Things have been flying around in the installs and everything like that, but I think I've kind of grasped onto it pretty quickly. And with the help of my teammates and coaches, I've been getting on the playbook pretty fast." Taylor acknowledged that the little details of the offense — how many steps to take in a route, where you're supposed to be in position on a given play — have been the biggest things to which he has had to adapt. He has also put extra emphasis on his blocking, working on his hand placement and pad level as he aims to be an all-around tight end in the NFL. 'I see growth and development out of Mason,' offensive coordinator Tanner Engstrand said. 'He's on the path to becoming what we expected and hoped he could be. And he's done a really nice job this camp in the pass game and in the run game as well. So, again, daily improvement by him, and we're excited to see where that continues to go.' ___

Travis Kelce and His Mom Steal the Show at Chiefs Camp

Based on facts, either observed and verified firsthand by the reporter, or reported and verified from knowledgeable sources. Newsweek AI is in beta. Translations may contain inaccuracies—please refer to the original content. The Kansas City Chiefs and star tight end Travis Kelce are gearing up for the start of the 2025 NFL season. With just a month to go before the regular season arrives, the team has been very busy during training camp. Kelce has become one of the most popular players in the NFL. He has been a star at his position for a long time, but his popularity has reached new heights since publicly dating Taylor Swift. With all of the popularity that he has been receiving, Kelce's mom, Donna Kelce, has also become a very public figure. Kansas City Chief's football tight end Travis Kelce (L) and his mom Donna Kelce arrive for the premiere of Netflix's docuseries "Quarterback" at the Tudum Theatre in Los Angeles, on July 11, 2023.

A fourth comment read, "It will always make me happy to see that no matter what, he always has the support of his mom." "This is such a great picture. Look at those smiles," a fifth fan wrote. While the touching moment was heartwarming, Kelce is fully focused on making another championship run during the 2025 season. It could very well be his last chance to do so.

It wasn't as good as fans have come to expect from him, but it was a decent season. In the 16 games he played, the 35-year-old tight end racked up 97 receptions for 823 yards and three touchdowns. He's hoping to reap up his production in 2025. Only time will tell, but Kelce is back and will continue being an elite target for Patrick Mahomes. Hopefully for both him and Kansas City, his decision to return will pay off with another championship ring. For more on the Kansas City Chiefs and general NFL news, head over to Newsweek Sports.

Ed Kelce, Travis and Jason's dad, mourns death of 'beloved friend' Maureen Maguire

Travis and Jason Kelce's dad has shared news of the death of a loved one. Ed Kelce, father of the football stars, announced the loss of Maureen Maguire, 74, in a Facebook post on Saturday, Aug. 2. He shared a link to an obituary that described Maguire as his "beloved friend," though a Los Angeles Times interview with Kelce published in 2024 noted Maguire was his girlfriend. Maguire, a former elementary school teacher who was born in New York but spent most of her life in Philadelphia, "passed away peacefully surrounded by her loved ones," according to the obituary. She "grew an unexpected love for football later in life, sharing many laughs and adventures with her beloved friend Ed Kelce and her loyal dog Butch," the obituary also read. "Together, they traveled often and attended football games and concerts, and embraced every opportunity to enjoy life to the fullest." Maguire was predeceased by her husband, Daniel J. Maguire Jr., and is survived by her three children, six grandchildren, and her sister and brother. Travis Kelce finally posts Taylor Swift photos on Instagram: See the couple's date nights Ed Kelce was previously married to Donna Kelce, Travis and Jason's mother, for more than 20 years. In an appearance on her sons' "New Heights" podcast in 2023, Donna Kelce noted that she and Ed are "friends to this day," adding, "We get along great. It's just sometimes people move apart, that's all." Travis Kelce consoled by Taylor Swift as retirement rumors swirl after Super Bowl loss "We're like a tag team with you two," she added, addressing Jason and Travis. "When one of you had to go out of town, another person would help the other child, so it was perfect." Speaking with the Los Angeles Times in 2024, Ed Kelce revealed an amusing interaction Maguire had with Travis Kelce's girlfriend, Taylor Swift, soon after they met. When Swift was posing for a photo with Ed Kelce and nuzzled up to him, Maguire jokingly warned, "Hey, that's my boyfriend," according to the Times, which said the singer "laughed and struck something closer to a father-daughter pose."
