When you hear coaches and teammates talk about Sean Taylor, you get the sense that he was on the cusp of becoming a phenomenal well-rounded safety. Redskins defensive coordinator Gregg Williams, who was fighting back tears when talking about Taylor on Monday, gushed about how he had the gigantic size and speed to excel in coverage and against the run.Rookie strong safety LaRon Landry echoed those sentiments when asked about Taylor, "He is an unbelievable player ...Sean always wanted to deliver the big hit. But I think he enjoyed the coverage part of the game, too, because a lot of people didn't feel like he could do it. And he liked to show that he was the complete package, you know? That he could beat you by beating you up, making the physical hit, but also by taking the ball away from you."
If you need proof just check out the following video clips after the jump:
And here's my personal favorite, which clearly shows that Sean Taylor didn't understand the meaning of "exhibition football." If there was a football and he was wearing pads, he was going to give you all he had. One more grand reason why he'll be truly missed.
1. My Condolences To Sean Taylor's Family. "Rest In Peace Sean". Yes, Sean Was A Great Football Player. It Seems Like We Never Really Appreciate Someone Or Something Until They Are Gone.
