The Atlanta Falcons have signed right tackle Jawaan Taylor, who has been flagged for the most penalties in the NFL since 2021. Taylor, a former Kansas City Chiefs player, accumulated 74 penalties over the past five seasons, predominantly due to illegal formations and holding calls. Despite his penalty issues, the Falcons hope that their coaching staff, particularly offensive line coach Bill Callahan, can help Taylor improve. The team also has former Chiefs teammate Wanya Morris as a backup option at right tackle if needed.
