Sean Taylor's Brother, Gabe, Gets Commanders Rookie Tryout: A Legacy Continues

The Washington Commanders' rookie camp is underway, and among the hopefuls vying for a spot on the roster is a familiar name: Gabe Taylor. The younger brother of the late, legendary Washington Redskins safety Sean Taylor, Gabe is getting his shot at the NFL as an undrafted free agent (UDFA) cornerback.

Gabe, who played five seasons at Rice University, signed with the Commanders after going undrafted in the 2025 NFL Draft. This tryout represents his first opportunity to prove himself in the league. According to his agency, Creed Sports and Entertainment, Gabe chose Washington because he grew up dreaming of playing for the team his brother once dominated.

Sean Taylor, a fifth-round pick in the 2004 draft, quickly became a dominant force for the then-Redskins. He tragically passed away in November 2007 at the age of 24. During his short but impactful career, Sean recorded impressive stats, including 305 combined tackles, 12 interceptions, and a defensive touchdown.

Gabe's agency expressed excitement about his chance to "forge his own path" and "honor the memory of Sean." The rookie camp is a crucial period for undrafted players, and Gabe will be competing for a coveted roster spot. The Commanders organization and fans will be watching closely as he strives to make his mark and continue the Taylor legacy. This tryout is a testament to his dedication and a chance to fulfill a lifelong dream.
