#34 was a good man himself, Guitarzan.

I grew up 5 minutes by foot from "Payton's Hill." Some of my best memories are there.

It's unfathomable to consider the magnitude of the loss of a potentially hall of fame caliber safety at age 24, but the best tribute the Redskins' have given him is by building the strongest secondary in the NFL anyway, overcoming his loss and allowing his legacy of highlight reel plays to live on anyway.

His loss, and what could have been, still hurt. We are just unbelievably lucky to have a guy like Chris Horton step right in and save us from having to wonder what could have been when we should be thinking about winning games.
