Sean Taylor's younger brother Gabriel will attend Commanders' rookie minicamp

Ever since Josh Harris took control of the Washington Commanders, he and the franchise have been atoning for many of the terrible decisions made before him. Some of that is treating the players and their families better, re-establishing a positive relationship with the fans and bringing the team's legends back into the fold.

Regardless, the Commanders have been making all the right moves. On Sunday, they made another terrific move, inviting Gabriel Taylor, the younger brother of Washington legend Sean Taylor, to the team's rookie minicamp next month. Candi Wall of Bowie TV Sports was the first to break the news.

Washington's rookie minicamp runs from May 8-11.

Sean Taylor was the No. 5 overall pick in the 2004 NFL draft and quickly became one of the NFL's most feared defenders before he was tragically murdered in his home in November 2007, protecting his family. The Commanders retired Taylor's No. 21 in October 2021.

Gabe Taylor played at Rice University, where he started for multiple seasons. He had his best season in 2024, leading the Owls with 57 tackles and three interceptions, and also recorded 10 passes defended, three sacks and seven tackles for loss. Taylor earned second-team All-AAC honors, one year after being named honorable mention All-AAC. Taylor had an outstanding performance at Rice's pro day, where he ran the 40-yard dash between 4.38-4.44 seconds.

Taylor had several options, but he went with his heart, choosing to attend the Commanders' rookie minicamp to compete.
