The New York Jets released their first unofficial depth chart of the summer on Sunday, and it didn't take long for fans to notice a few interesting takeaways. One such takeaway involved rookie tight end Mason Taylor.
A second-round pick in this year's NFL Draft, Taylor is widely expected to step in as the Jets' starting tight end to begin the season. That's why many were admittedly confused to see his name listed behind the incumbent Jeremy Ruckert on the Jets' depth chart.
Taylor was one of a number of rookies buried on the Jets' unofficial depth chart, with mid-round rookies Arian Smith, Azareye'h Thomas, and Tyler Baron all listed as third-stringers entering August.
