The Miami Dolphins are preparing for a pivotal 2025 NFL Draft by hosting LSU tight end Mason Taylor, a notable prospect and the son of Dolphins legend Jason Taylor. Mason Taylor, standing at 6'5" and weighing 251 pounds, displayed remarkable skills during his three seasons at LSU, recording 129 receptions for 1,308 yards and six touchdowns. His recent standout performance at the Senior Bowl showcased his potential as an athletic tight end.

Although the Dolphins have not heavily utilized the tight end position in recent seasons under head coach Mike McDaniel, the team's dynamics shifted positively in 2024 when they acquired Jonnu Smith, who earned Pro Bowl honors with 88 receptions for 884 yards. With the release of Durham Smythe and the addition of blocking specialist Pharaoh Brown, Miami may be looking to bolster their tight end corps further, potentially signaling a new strategic direction.
