Scouting Report

Taylor is a versatile modern tight end with impressive receiving skills and developing blocking ability. He runs crisp routes with attention to detail, showing the ability to set up defenders with subtle head fakes and body movements. Taylor creates separation with good footwork at the top of routes and finds soft spots against zone coverage effectively. His hands are reliable, catching the ball cleanly away from his body. After the catch, Taylor shows good vision and enough strength to break tackles. As a blocker, he displays proper technique and competitive toughness despite his leaner frame.
