RIP Sean Taylor

[Southpaw]

The only person that I was never actually acquainted with, whose death affected me on a personal level...

I have to agree.

I don't why but it truly did.

Great player and has always left me thinking what could have been...

Out safety position hasn't been the same since he left. Of course with one of the GOATs playing the position how could it be!??

Agreed. Still to this day it sucks. I did meet him once when I had field passes in Tampa, a story I've told here many times; just an awesome dude and a great football player. Still very missed. RIP 21

RIP, what things might have been with him here. He would have been our RGIII on D and I mean that in a good way.

He already was our RG3 on D. I attended about 10 games when Sean was here - TV never did justice for how thoroughly he took away the middle of the field AND how fearful opposing receivers were venturing into his domain. I saw Randy Moss outright quit on routes over the deep middle to avoid Sean's wrath.

Hard to believe it's been 6 years.
There is no doubt.....many receivers in the NFL are very happy not to face #21 on the field. He inspired an epidemic of alligator arm play when facing the Redskin secondary. Truly a great story for the NFL and sports in general. A life cut short in a home invasion gone bad......for money? A true tragedy.
RIP # 21........

Yep. I hope his wife and daughter are doing good now, I imagine their pain and sadness is about 10 times worse than what I feel.
