Apparently turning some heads. Looks like a big riser in this upcoming draft.

I was upset when he initially entered because I thought he was passing up on a great opportunity to become the best TE in CFB but it seems he is NFL ready. Good for him. Incredibly clutch player and the best LSU TE ever

Yeah he looks good. Jones has had some quality reps against quality DEs

The two sessions I saw were at RT and he looked solid

Forgive my ignorance, but Taylor and Jones are juniors. Does the senior bowl now allow juniors?

Lafleur and Moreau were every bit as good maybe better. Injuries did in Lafleur.
Taylor is not as fast as guys that have recently come out but has improved his blocking last season.

Taylor’s catch and run against Ole Miss when he forearm hit was electric

Was Calvin Johnson a TE or receiver? Green reminds me of Johnson. Definitely not a traditional TE

He has the chance to have a much more successful NFL career than College Career. And that is not to say that he didn't have a successful College career but the NFL game is better suited for receiving tight ends than the College game.

The were talking about him on XM nfl network yesterday. Said he looks the part physically. Apparently he put a move on a safety at practice that was an ankle breaker. They all agreed he was going to make a team very happy.

One of those things that we'll never know because of when they played, the offense LSU ran then, etc. I mean I would have loved to have seen LF in the 2019 offense because of his speed in the open field and he had some good hands.

Dont know anything about LaFleur as i was 5 during his LSU peak, and am the first LSU fan in my family. I concede to you based on what I've looked up previously on him. However i do think Taylor is better than Moreau. Taylor is a much better receiver, and it's not like his blocking is bad. It needs work, but the NFL coaches will get that.

I was at that Ole miss game and Lefleur was awesome. he did tend to drop or fumble when he took a hard hit. Was softer than Taylor but athletically was better in my opinion.

it is, looks like two will be taken in the first round, another in the 2nd. Would be interesting to see if Washington would take him in the 2nd, they need a tight end

Definitely hope he ends up in Washington. Ben doesn’t seem to be the heir to Ertz.

Looks like he should be 3rd best in the draft this year. Not too bad
