Sean Taylor makes Pro Bowl posthusmously
NFL Football at its best. NFL Football at its craziest.
Sean Taylor was the leading vote getter at safety at the time of his death and in a move by the NFL that stands for all things good, Sean was named to the 2008 Pro Bowl.
Sean was the best safety in the business, so this does not smack of hypocrisy.
This is a tribute to Sean Taylor by the NFL.
It should be remembered that football is a game played by boys and men alike and that deep down inside we are all people striving to live in our own way.
Sean Taylor did not deserve his fate, but Sean does deserve to be remembered as one of the great players in the National Football League.
So let us applaud the NFL for remembering Sean and let us tip our hats to Sean Taylor and say, “Hey, Sean, you will be remembered as one of the great ones”.
This year, Taylor was allowed to roam the field as a true free safety, a hard-hitting ball hawk whose speed made anything deep virtually off limits to the offense. Before his knee injury, the Redskins had allowed only 21 plays of 20-plus yards over 8 3/4 games.
“You’re talking about one of the best safeties in the league,” cornerback Fred Smoot said after Taylor’s injury. “Just by his presence in the middle, people don’t try the middle. We miss him tremendously.” source
The NFL seems to get it right most of the time and this time they were right on. Sean deserves so much more from life and will never get it, but at least he can be remembered as a truly great safety.
You can check out the list of starters on Defense and Sean is listed as the starter at Free Safety for the NFC.
Sean Taylor, thank you for all those great plays that we got to enjoy!
