One Kansas City Chiefs player is mourning the loss of his grandmother, even as the team celebrates and enjoys their run to the 2024 Super Bowl. One of the best offensive tackles in the league, Jawaan Taylor, lost a key player. Hence, he remarked, “I dedicate this game to her,” during the Super Bowl media availability.
It was untrue to hear that his mother Wendy Taylor had passed away when the news first surfaced. The sportsman used social media to correct the misstatement made by the press. “Just to put things straight. Not my mother, but rather my grandmother died away four days ago. “Mary Taylor, long live!” he wrote on X. Wendy, his mother, also posted on Instagram.

Mary Taylor was Jawaan Taylor’s father’s mother. The reason behind her death was not revealed. The player also lost his father Robert in January 2022 after he passed away unexpectedly. Robert was the reason Jawaan started playing football. Back in 2010, he lost his maternal grandmother, Gwendolyn Lewis, and honored her during the 2019 NFL draft. During the NFL Draft Red Carpet, the athlete wore a three-piece suit and his grandmother’s picture was sewn on the inside of his jacket.
Now, Taylor is heading to win his first Super Bowl, and his mother, Wendy, who is another influential figure in his life, will be there to cheer for her son.
A mother’s love inspires a heroic Super Bowl campaign?
Jawaan and his siblings, Jeremy, were raised by Wendy Taylor for more than 20 years, during which time she gave her all to them. As a “momma’s boy,” Jawaan has a close relationship with his mother. She frequently posts about the Chiefs because she is a fervent fan of the team.
Wendy Lewis’s mother, Gwendolyn Lewis, recognized something unique in Jawaan when he arrived early in the world and weighed almost nine pounds. Jawaan’s path to the NFL started long before he took the field, with hands and feet that seemed meant for football glory. It was a road of love, nourished by the wisdom of a grandmother and the intuition of a mother.
Jawaan Taylor remembers his grandmother’s unshakable faith in his ability as he gets ready to compete for football’s biggest prize. He will also make an effort to please his grandmother and mother. Every picture will honor their devotion and selflessness, and every accomplishment will demonstrate their impact. For Jawaan, winning the Super Bowl means paying tribute to the women in his life who have supported him from the start. It is not just about winning a game.
On Sunday, February 11, 2024, Super Bowl LVIII will be played at Allegiant Stadium in Las Vegas, Nevada. The San Francisco 49ers will play the Kansas City Chiefs.
