NFL star quarterback Patrick Mahomes II’s younger brother Jackson Mahomes upset fans after dancing on the memorial logo of the late Sean Taylor at FedEx Field, Washington. The 21-year-old, who is well-known on TikTok, received immense backlash online for his actions.

Following that, Jackson Mahomes went on to apologize on Twitter after filming a video on the field where the Washington Football Team had honored Taylor. Sean Taylor died at the age of 24 after being shot during a robbery attempt at his Florida home in November 2007.

The late athlete’s family attended the event at FedEx field, for an on-field ceremony that was organized to honor the two-time Pro Bowler. The WFT also named a road heading towards the stadium after Taylor.
