The Commanders continue to provide updates on their offseason activities through various platforms, including their website and the Locked On Commanders podcast.

Gabriel, a safety from Rice University, accepted the invitation to compete for a spot on the team during the rookie minicamp.

Sean Taylor, Gabriel's older brother, was a two-time Pro Bowl safety for the Commanders before his tragic death at age 24 in 2007.

In honoring his brother's legacy, Gabriel reportedly chose to join the Commanders despite receiving multiple offers from other NFL teams.

At Rice's pro day, Gabriel showcased impressive speed, running the 40-yard dash in times between 4.38 and 4.4 seconds.

Other players invited to the camp include Timothy McKay, Ricky Barber, and several others from various colleges.

During his college career, he recorded 231 total tackles, six forced fumbles, ten interceptions, and four sacks over five seasons.

Gabriel described himself as 'a diamond in the rough' and expressed a desire to contribute as a reliable role player rather than seeking stardom.

The rookie minicamp will include undrafted players and others who meet eligibility criteria, with one day open for media coverage.

The Washington Commanders have invited rookie Gabriel Taylor, the younger brother of late NFL legend Sean Taylor, to their minicamp starting on May 8, 2025.

In the 2024 season, Taylor earned All-AAC Second Team honors with 57 tackles, three interceptions, and two forced fumbles.

While the invitation to minicamp does not guarantee him a roster spot, it provides Gabriel an opportunity to showcase his skills.
