There will be one former Jacksonville Jaguars player competing in the Super Bowl 59 matchup between the Philadelphia Eagles and the Kansas City Chiefs.
Competing in the big game and doing so for the second consecutive year will be offensive tackle Jawaan Taylor.
Taylor spent his first four NFL seasons with the Jaguars after being a second-round pick by the team in the 2019 NFL draft out of Florida.
During his tenure with the Jaguars, Taylor started all 66 regular season games–playing over 1,000 offensive snaps each year. According to PFF’s metrics, the 2022 season–Taylor’s final year with the Jaguars–was his best from a pass protection standpoint.
Taylor would then join the Chiefs during the 2023 offseason when he hit free agency. Over the last two seasons now, he has been Kansas City’s starting right tackle and was a part of their 2023 Super Bowl winning season.
One of the other small connection between the Jaguars and Chiefs is that while kicker Harrison Butker was sidelined this season with an injury, Kansas City brought in kicker Matthew Wright, who would appear in two games for them this year.
Wright would appear in 14 games for the Jaguars during the 2021 season. He is no longer on the Chiefs roster and ended the 2024 season in Tennessee.
