Kansas City Chiefs offensive lineman Jawaan Taylor will be playing with a heavy heart in Super Bowl LVIII.
Taylor shared with reporters in Las Vegas on Wednesday that his mother recently died. The 26-year-old said he will be playing for his late mother against the San Francisco 49ers.

Taylor did not share any more information about his mother’s death.
Last April, Taylor shared a video on Instagram that showed him gifting his mother a Bentley “as an early Mother’s Day gift.”
“When You Surprise Your Mom With Her Dream Car As An Early Mother’s Day Gift … Love You Queen!” Taylor wrote.
Taylor signed a 4-year, $80 million contract with the Chiefs last offseason. The former second-round pick out of Florida had been with the Jacksonville Jaguars for the first four years of his career.
49ers star pass-rusher Nick Bosa recently made headlines for a comment he made about Taylor and Kansas City’s offensive line.
