I have a .GIF of that on my computer. I remember watching him his rookie year and thinking, man, the best is truly yet to come. All the plays he made, every game I remember watching him and thinking, man he truly is the complete safety. I love watching him lay out the opposition with no regards to his health. You could tell how much football meant to him by the way he played.
Remember the interview this summer where he said "we make a king's ransom to play a kid's game"? When I heard that, I gained so much respect for him. It wasn't about the money, to him it was about the impact he made on the game, and he understood that he had one chance to give it his all and he wanted to be the best he could be.
I'll never forget you Sean, and when the Skins store opens up in an hour I will be there waiting to buy a jersey to honor your memory. I'm still in absolute shock, I got off work 2 hours ago and came home expecting good news and now this. You are in a better place and you truly were a Washington Redskin. I only wish it didn't have to end like this.
