"Defensive player of the year. ... You're going to see some picks. You're going to see some heads getting knocked off. You're going to see some receivers retire. You're going to see everything you've been looking for."
-Clinton Portis speaking on Sean Taylor's 2007 campaign

Man, i remember his first exhibition game against denver on monday night. he had like 2 ints, one for a touchdown, and a forced fumble if i remember correctly. it was insane. and this was just playing one half of a preseason game!

These pics were taken when we went to redskins training camp in '05. i still have the ball he signed that day.

Wow I can't believe he's gone. All I thought about was having him recover so that he could play again. Forget football, now he can't even be there for his daughter. May he rest in peace.

"I just take this job very seriously," Taylor said. "It's almost like, you play a kid's game for a king's ransom. And if you don't take it serious enough, eventually one day you're going to say, 'Oh, I could have done this, I could have done that."'
