11 years ago we lost a legend in Sean Taylor
Sean Taylor died at the age of 24 on November 27, 2007, from critical injuries from a gunshot by intruders at his Miami area home.
His death led to an outpouring of national support and sympathy, especially in the Washington, D.C. area, where Taylor had been a fan favorite as a Redskin, and the Miami area, where Taylor had starred for the Miami Hurricanes, after leading Gulliver Prep to a Florida state high school championship and setting a state record for most touchdowns in a season.
Taylor received Pro-Bowl selections in 2006 and 2007, and was a First Team All-Pro in 2007. His 2007 selections were awarded after his death.
