I cannot start this post without talking about a great an up and coming safety for the Washington Redskins in Sean Taylor who has been shot and killed by an intruder that entered his home on Monday, dieing Tuesday.
I am stunned at this as I have just lost a former teammate and classmate myself in the last week. Shocking in my young life that I can't recall another person that I have grown to know so much die and for it to be one of my peers. Although I am a realist in the fact that I know that this will not be the last in my life.
Today I would like to talk about the football player in #21. Most will and have said that he has had a troubled past and rarely reaches out to others. But I have heard great things from the people who know him best. He was an outstanding football player my type of guy I would want on my team a hard-hitter, bone cruncher and just my kind of DB I would want on my defense.
Drafted 5th overall by the Redskins, he was given full confidence from the new regime at the 'skins as he was their very first pick on the job. Taylor is still up at the top in INTs with 5, even though he had missed a few games already.
At the age of 24 he is the fourth to die at that age in the NFL just this year, think about that.
