Sean Taylor's legacy in Washington lives on with latest Commanders free agent signing image

The Washington NFL franchise won't ever forget the late, great Sean Taylor.

On Sunday, the now-named Commanders provided another reason to remember.

Taylor's little brother, Gabe Taylor, has reportedly been invited to attend the Commanders' rookie minicamp.

Gabe Taylor spent five seasons as a safety at Rice.

He is coming off his most productive season, with seven tackles for loss and three interceptions.

Taylor actually had 3-2-2-3 interceptions across his last four seasons with the Owls.

He also forced six fumbles over the past four years.

Taylor definitely seems like a playmaker in the mold of his older brother.

The climb from a rookie minicamp invite to a roster spot is long. Taylor will have to beat out a ton of other players just to get an opportunity.

But the Commanders have given him a chance. And if he runs with it, it'll be an absolutely incredible story.
