Its a Shame what happened to Sean Taylor. While he ran into problems with the law early on in his career, he seemed to be maturing and becoming a better person ever since the birth of his 1 year old daughter. He will be missed by the football community and my thoughts and prayers are with him and his Family.
Sean Taylor was one of the best safeties in the league and he was so young. It is disappointing when anyone dies but it has more effects more people when that person is a role model. I have sympathy for his family and friends. Death is always a hard subject to deal with. I just hope the family and friends of Sean Taylor can get on with life okay.
Sean Taylor's story is very tragic. I think the NFL and the players do a good job of honoring an event like this, like in today's games. Every player has his number on the back of their helmets, and his team even ran a play a man short to honor his memory. It is very sad when an event like this takes place, especially when he was so young and had so much potential to be a great athlete.
