Gabriel Taylor, a 24-year-old defensive player for the DC Defenders, will be wearing the No. 21 jersey for the 2026 home opener on April 11. This number was worn by his late brother, Sean Taylor, who was killed in a 2007 home invasion at the age of 24. Taylor now takes a different approach to honoring his brother's legacy and avoids overthinking the number. He believes his success will depend on staying focused on his job and not overthinking it. His only NFL opportunity came at the Washington Commanders' rookie minicamp in 2025, but he felt it would be a "no-brainer" to sign him after his camp performance. Taylor also had a strong relationship with defensive coordinator Blake Williams, whose father, Gregg Williams, was Washington's defensive coordinator during Sean Taylor's playing days.
