But yes they may go down as one of the best ever.

I can't help but think Landry would have ended up as Landry regardless. Even if he continued playing at the same level as earlier in his career he likely would have still run into the injury bug.
Taylor on the other hand, I know we kind of romanticize about him a lot, but he really was worthy of the hype. Especially when he started to learn how to play center field. I mean how many safeties in the league today are 6'3 230 his kind of speed and agility. The best way I can describe him to all the youngins today was he was the defensive back version of Megatron.
Funny thing I noticed though when watching this video was below that the poll for ESPN in regards to which player should the Redskins draft read 48% Kellen Winslow 35% Sean Taylor right before Taylor was selected.
Another thing I noticed even back then Mara seemed to have it in for the Redskins.
"Whats that Joe Gibbs is making his first draft pick in 12 years? Better agree to trade with Chargers for Eli Manning so we can get back on TV."
