Days after his aunt was reportedly ‘sidelined’ by Fox Sports, Mason Taylor impressed at the NFL Combine with a perfect gauntlet drill.
Fox Sports host Joy Taylor missed three straight episodes of ‘Speak’ this week, with Front Office Sports reporting that she had been held out by the network in the wake of the bombshell lawsuit which accused her of using Sєxual relationships with colleagues to further her career.
On Friday, her nephew Mason – who is the son of NFL Hall of Famer Jason Taylor – flashed his skills in Indianapolis as he caught all six balls during a drill.
NFL Network’s Rich Eisen said he had ‘never seen this before’ as Taylor ran from one side of the field to the other in a straight line while catching everything thrown his way.
A тιԍнт end out of LSU, Taylor had career-highs of 55 catches and 546 receiving yards this past season for the Tigers, along with two touchdowns.
Taylor is the third-highest graded тιԍнт end by NFL.com, who say he will ‘eventually be a plus starter.’

He has yet to run the 40-yard dash or do the bench press in at the Combine.
His appearance at the prospect showcase comes weeks after his aunt was accused of using Sєxual relationships with ex-NFL star co-host Emmanuel Acho and network executive Charlie Dixon to further her career, according to a bombshell lawsuit.
Taylor was also alleged to have used ‘her Sєxuality to get on a show’ in 2020, when she sought a spot on Acho’s program ‘Speak’. She denied ‘each and every allegation against her’.
DailyMail.com has reached out to Fox Sports and Taylor’s attorneys for comment.

Earlier this month, a spokesperson for Taylor told The Athletic : ‘The claims set forth against Ms. Taylor are devoid of merit and appear to have been strategically framed to create unwarranted publicity rather than to seek legitimate redress’.

‘Ms. Taylor denies each and every allegation against her as set forth in Plaintiff’s Complaint to the extent they allege any wrongdoing, liability, or enтιтlement to relief.’
Taylor, Dixon, former FS1 host Skip Bayless and the Fox Corporation were all named in the suit, which was filed on behalf of hair stylist and former Fox employee Noushin Faraji.
Much of it focuses on allegations of Sєxual harᴀssment, Sєxual battery, negligent supervision, retaliation and other hostile workplace issues between 2012 and August of 2024.
