The Kansas City Chiefs offensive tackle, Jawaan Taylor, chose to forgo his senior year at the University of Florida to participate in the 2019 NFL Draft. Taylor was drafted by the Jacksonville Jaguars in the second round as the #35 pick and signed a four-year rookie contract. He was honored with the PFWA All-Rookie Team in 2019. He played almost every snap while starting at right tackle in all four of his regular-season games with Jacksonville.

In 2023, Taylor signed an $80 million contract with the Kansas City Chiefs for four years and won the Super Bowl LVIII as well. He suffered a shoulder injury in July 2024 and was carted away; however, Adam Schefter of ESPN reported that he will be back by the first week of the regular season. Interestingly, Taylor is mostly famous for being the most penalized player in the NFL, since he holds 26 penalties, including playoffs, as of August 2024.

Who are Jawaan Taylor’s parents?

Jawaan Taylor’s parents are Robert and Wendy Taylor. They have three children: Jeremy, Shaquitta, and Jawaan. Taylor, being the youngest, was born on November 25, 1997. Wendy was not very interested in letting any of her kids play football, which is an aggressive game; however, Robert was a defensive lineman in high school and a great fan of the game as per the Jacksonville Jaguars' website.

Who is Jawaan Taylor’s father?

Jawaan Taylor's father is Robert Taylor, who was an assistant pastor and worked as a UPS driver for more than 30 years as per the Jacksonville Jaguars' website. Unfortunately, he passed away in January 2022 due to COVID-19; his funeral was attended by more than a thousand people, given his commitment to his community.

On Saturdays, after he got home from work, Robert would take his son to football camps and work with him on technique. He would also attend every game. Back in the day, Robert was a defensive lineman for Cocoa High School, which is situated near Kennedy Space Center on the east-central Florida coast. Robert played a key role in the Tigers' defense that went six games without a loss and gave up just 23 points to opponents in 1987—an unbeaten season that saw the team win the district championship and finish #1 in Class 3A as per the Jacksonville Jaguars' website. Three Cocoa High seniors, including 6-foot-2, 230-pound Robert, were selected to the 1987 First-Team Class 3A All-State team.

Who is Jawaan Taylor’s mother?

Wendy Taylor, Jawaan's mother, disliked football. Her four brothers were not permitted to play the sport in the home where she was raised. She naturally applied that idea to her own household, trying to protect her kids from harm while they played one of the most violent games, football.

“Robert is definitely the influence when it comes to football because I never wanted my kids to play,” Wendy Taylor said to the Florida Times-Union. “And even when Jawaan started playing at the age of four, playing flag [football], my husband would take them to practice. He did all of that.”
