On Sunday, to commemorate Jason’s 50th birthday, Joy shared a touching Instagram post including a series of snaps from throughout the years.
“Happy 50th Birthday @jasontaylor99! I’m so proud of you and the man you’ve become. Love you bro,” Joy wrote.
In the first two shots, Joy looked barely recognizable, first as a little kid beaming alongside her brother, and second as a younger woman with cornrows together with her then NFL-star brother.
The post also included a high school football shot of the future Hall of Famer.
There were also more recent snaps of them enjoying a boat trip together along with them doing shots and smoking cigars.
“I didn’t know he was your brother,” one stunned fan commented.
“Happy Birthday Jason! One of the best defensive players in NFL history,” said a second.
“He still looks like he’s in playing shape, [Atlanta] Falcons need a pass rusher,” suggested another.
While a fourth commented simply, “Family first.”
Of course, Joy wasn’t the only family member to congratulate Jason.
“Happy 50th birthday to my soulmate,” Jason’s wife Monica shared in an Instagram post.
“Life with you just gets better and better… Cheers to 50 more happy, healthy years together. Te amo 4L mi amor!”
Jason’s children Zoe – a beach volleyball star at LSU – as well as Mason and Isaiah – football stars at LSU and Miami respectively – all added their congratulations in separate posts.
A former NFL Defensive Player of the Year and Walter Payton Man of the Year, Jason spent a remarkable 15 seasons in the league.
Retiring with 139.5 sacks and 774 tackles, Jason has since moved into coaching and now coaches defensive ends at Miami.
