Mason Taylor’s NFL Draft Scouting Report
Mason Taylor carries a top-50 grade on PFN’s board, and he has the tools to be an impact NFL starter with time. Taylor can still improve his play strength and blocking, but his ability as a receiver is unquestionable.
He’s fleet-footed, fluid, and explosive out of breaks, with sharp instincts and soft hands at the catch. And his added RAC element makes him a truly complete pass-catching presence.
