I have been a fan of Sean Taylor ever since he stepped out onto the Orange Bowl field years ago. It really does hurt me to see a player like this leave us today and I am deeply upset about the whole situation. Taylor made a Redskins game more enjoyable to watch and I always found myself glued to the TV whenever they played. During Taylor’s rookie year I bought his jersey when he wore number 36 and now I will continue to wear it proudly in his memory. For those of us who loved to see Sean Taylor take the field each Sunday, I leave you with this. Thanks Sean, for all the long-lasting images. We will miss you #21.

Redskins safety Sean Taylor was shot early yesterday morning during an attempted burglary of his house in Miami and died late Monday night. An up and coming superstar, Taylor had been in Miami rehabilitating an injured knee and was in the midst of his best year as a pro. While his past issues had haunted him, Taylor had appeared to mature and seemed like a man who was ready to leave his past behind him. He was 24.

The Sportable staff can’t send enough prayers and condolences to the Taylor family, the Redskins family, and all his fans. God just picked up a hell of a safety. R.I.P. Sean Taylor # 21.
