Jets' Mason Taylor embraces 'high expectations' from lineage

FLORHAM PARK, N.J. -- New York Jets rookie tight end Mason Taylor received a text from his father Thursday night, advice on the eve of his first NFL minicamp.

"Just be where your feet are," Mason said Friday, relaying the message from his dad, Pro Football Hall of Famer Jason Taylor.

With that, Mason Taylor, a second-round pick from LSU, began his own NFL journey, trying to make a name for himself while handling the pressure of having a famous father. And let's not forget about his uncle, Zach Thomas, another Hall of Famer.
