Jets evaluate tight end snaps for Kenyon Sadiq and Mason Taylor this season
Summary

The New York Jets' tight end competition intensifies as they assess Kenyon Sadiq and Mason Taylor's potential roles for the upcoming season. General manager Darren Mougey selected Sadiq with the 16th overall pick in the 2026 NFL Draft, adding to a room that already includes Taylor, who had the most snaps among tight ends last year with 654. The team finished low in tight end usage last season, with only 17.03% of plays featuring two tight ends. New offensive coordinator Frank Reich may increase multi-tight end formations this year, focusing on maximizing the skills of Sadiq, Taylor, and veteran Jeremy Ruckert. As training camp begins, the Jets will monitor which player claims the lead in snaps among the tight ends.
