Chiefs’ right tackle Jawaan Taylor on penalties: ‘I have to clean it up’

Through three weeks, no NFL offensive lineman has been called for more penalties than Kansas City Chiefs’ right tackle Jawaan Taylor. According to PFF, he has been flagged eight times this season. No other lineman has tallied more than six penalties.

The most recent cam in Sunday’s Week 3 matchup against the Chicago Bears. In that game, a penalty for illegal formation wiped out a big touchdown pass.

Afterwards, head coach Andy Reid and quarterback Patrick Mahomes expressed concern that Taylor was being “picked on” by the officials, pointing to other players lining up with similar depth behind the line of scrimmage.
