Former Redskins S Sean Taylor was special. His ability to fly around the field and make plays were amazing. Unfortunately, Taylor’s life was cut short after he was shot by intruders who tried to burglarize his home back in 2007. He was only 24 years old.
Before his untimely passing, Taylor was turning himself into one of the better safeties in football. In four years in the league, all with the Redskins, Taylor made two Pro Bowls(voted posthumously to the Pro Bowl and named first team All-Pro in 2007), accumulated 12 interceptions, and was one of the hardest hitting safeties during his time in the NFL.
Hall of Fame WR Randy Moss, who was inducted into the Pro Football Hall of Fame this weekend, called Taylor one of his toughest competitors.
“He came in early, a lot of hype, very good,” Moss said. All he kept telling me is, ‘Every time you catch the ball, I’m going to try to kill you,'” Moss said about Taylor on Sunday at the Enshrinees’ Roundtable in Canton, OH.
