2nd Round:
New York Jets select Mason Taylor with 42nd overall pick:
The New York Jets have selected LSU’s all-time leading receiver at tight end in Mason Taylor with the 42nd overall pick of the 2025 NFL Draft.

Taylor was the third tight end selected overall in this year’s draft behind Michigan’s Colston Loveland (Chicago Bears) and Penn State’s Tyler Warren (Indianapolis Colts). The son of NFL Hall of Famer Jason Taylor and nephew of Hall of Famer Zach Thomas finished his LSU career with 129 catches for 1,308 yards and six touchdowns.
