The folks at uStadium are reporting that the Jets are expected to sign undrafted 6′ 4” 304 lb free agent defensive tackle Leonard Taylor out of Miami.
Expect Taylor to have a very good shot to make the Jets roster as an interior defensive lineman who some projected as a mid-round pick. A strong interior defender, Taylor saw his production dip in 2024 but this could have been due to spending more time at the nose rather than lining up as 3 tech where he was better suited.
