Jawaan Taylor is an American professional football offensive tackle currently playing for the Kansas City Chiefs in the National Football League (NFL). He began his NFL career with the Jacksonville Jaguars, who selected him in the second round of the 2019 NFL Draft after his college football tenure with the Florida Gators. Taylor joined the Chiefs in free agency and was the starting right tackle when the team won Super Bowl LVIII in his first season with the franchise.
Taylor is notable for his role as a starting offensive lineman on a high-profile team, tasked with protecting star quarterback Patrick Mahomes. His performance, particularly regarding penalties, has been a recurring topic of discussion among analysts and fans, making him a frequently mentioned player in coverage of the Chiefs' offensive line play.
Recently, Taylor has been in the news following a late November game where he received a penalty that was highlighted by multiple sports outlets as emblematic of the Chiefs' ongoing challenges in the 2025 season. Broader media coverage from that period also focused on controversial officiating calls affecting the team, with some analysts suggesting the Chiefs should consider moving on from Taylor. This has kept him a trending subject in NFL discourse.
