The younger brother of former Washington defensive back Sean Taylor did not receive much advance notice about the Football Team's plans to retire his brother's No. 21 jersey.
"I found out probably, I'll say like four days ago," Gabe Taylor, who plays football at Rice, said during an interview with 106.7 The Fan.
On Thursday, team president Jason Wright apologized that there was not much advance notice for the ceremony prior to Sunday's game against the Kansas City Chiefs at FedEx Field.
He said the intent was to "focus the message on Sean and his legacy" by announcing the ceremony the week of the game and that alumni weekend felt like the "right moment" for the retirement.
