The Jets drafted tight end Mason Taylor in the second round in 2025, so some might wonder how well he took the news that they used a first-round pick on a player at the same position this year.
Kenyon Sadiq’s arrival was not met with a negative response from Taylor, however. The presence of offensive coordinator Frank Reich has something to do with that.
Taylor said this month that he sees “endless opportunities” to make plays in Reich’s offense because the coach “likes to use” tight ends and those opportunities will be enhanced because wide receiver Garrett Wilson is also going to be on the field.
“Everyone’s going to have their role and I just think it’s going to be really exciting because we’re going to be unstoppable actually because there’s so many options and if you want to shut down the tight ends, then there’s Garrett and the receivers,” Taylor said, via the team’s website.
Unstoppable is rarely a term associated with Jets offenses and quarterback Geno Smith’s recent play will make it hard for some to share Taylor’s optimism, but the addition of Sadiq and first-round wideout Omar Cooper to Taylor, Wilson and running back Breece Hall gives the Jets a more complete set of weapons than they had to work with last season.
