Perhaps these stats can help us put Taylor's effort in perspective a little more.

Here are the stats of the tree safeties that were elected to the Pro-Bowl for the NFC. I threw in Ed Reed from the AFC just to see how he compared to one of the elite safeties in the NFL.

Ed Reed first.

59 Tackles 8 assists. Reed was seventh on his team in tackles. I was amazed to see how many of their linebackers were ahead of him. I guess that's why they have the number one defense in the league.

NFC.

Brian Dawkins. 93 tackles 71 assists 2nd on team in tackles
Roy Williams. 62 tackles 10 assists 4th on team " "
Adrian Wilson 82 tackles 8 assists 3rd on team " "
Sean Taylor 111 tackles 25 assists 1st on team " "

Taylor led all safties and many linebackers in the NFC in total number of tackles this year.
