R.I.P. Sean Taylor.

I went to bed hearing the Washington Redskins free safety, about my age, had shown positive signs at the hospital and woke up to the news that he succumb to his gunshot wounds and passed away overnight. Heartbreaking.

The bone-crushing free safety has been one of my favorite football players dating back to almost the beginning of this decade – back to the days he was laying lumber in Coral Gables for the Miami Hurricanes.

Taylor liked to do things his way, especially right out of college. But you could see him maturing as a football player and person as each season progressed.

I’m not sure what else to say. My heart goes out to his family and little daughter.

#26 will be missed.
