THE RECENT Sean Taylor played four seasons as a free safety for the Washington Redskins before passing away in 2007.

The NFL legend is survived by a daughter, Jackie, who has carried on his legacy.

Who are Jackie Taylor’s parents?

Jackie Taylor, the daughter of Jackie Garcia and Sean Taylor, was born in May 2006.

The NFL athlete was just 23 when his daughter was born, but his colleagues felt being a parent transformed him.

“It’s hard to expect a man to grow up overnight,” said Redskins teammate and close friend Clinton Portis – who also played with Taylor at the University of Miami.

“But ever since he had his child, it was like a new Sean, and everybody around here knew it. He was always smiling, always happy, always talking about his child.”

Sean and Jackie were supposedly high school sweethearts who opted to stay together for several years before the athlete’s untimely death and were engaged before the athlete’s tragic demise.

Jackie married Shay Haley in 2010, three years after Sean died.

How old was Jackie Taylor when Sean Taylor passed away?

Sean’s daughter was just 18 months old when he died.

Despite her preference for staying out of the spotlight, Jackie has made a number of public appearances in memory of her father.

She spoke on his behalf when he was inducted into the University of Miami Ring of Honor in 2017.

“I’m so proud of how hard my father worked to receive this honor,” Jackie said at the age of 11. “He took a lot of pride in his career as a Hurricane.”
