“I dedicate this game to her.” That’s what Jawaan Taylor said when his grandmother passed away last year. There were only a few days left before the Super Bowl showdown when this happened. Taylor gave his everything to support the Chiefs and earned his first Lombardi with the team. Can you imagine how mentally strong he is? Even after carrying the pain of losing his grandma, he made sure to stay locked in and achieve victory for her.
Ever since he joined the Chiefs, he’s been a player who has stayed away from the spotlight. Maybe it’s because of his stats? I mean, in the 2024 season, his pass-blocking grade was just 70.8, which ranked him 48th. Not only that, his run-blocking grade was a low 56.6, ranking him 97th on the list. But his offensive snaps were 1,092, which is really impressive and earned him a seat among the top 10. So, he’s a player who’s not after stats but is there to see his team win. “I’m a team-first guy.”
