People don’t realize what a prototype he was as a safety, he was the total package and it’s a complete tragedy that he was never able to realize his full potential as a player but more importantly as a man.
Great video! I wanted to share a Sean Taylor story from a game I attended back in 2005 when Washington played the Raiders. It’s not about the legendary moment where he beat Randy Moss for that jump ball (though that was incredible). This memory is from before the game, outside the stadium near the player entrance. There’s an area with a waist-high gate separating fans from the players as they walk from the parking lot into the stadium. Fans line up to cheer them on, and most players would give a wave or a nod as they walked by, many dressed sharp in expensive suits. Then here came Sean Taylor-just in sweats with a backpack. What stood out was that, instead of just walking past, he stopped and spent a good amount of time signing autographs, especially for the kids. He was humble, soft-spoken, and didn’t seem to enjoy the attention, but it was clear he felt a sense of responsibility to the fans, particularly the young ones. It was such a stark contrast to someone like LaVar Arrington, who was much more outgoing, soaking in the attention and having fun with the crowd-which credit to him for also stopping. But with Sean, it felt different-like he was giving his time not because he wanted to be in the spotlight but because he genuinely understood what it meant to fans. That moment left a lasting impression on me for whatever reason. RIP 21
In the world of safetys, you were either a hitter or a ball hawk. Sean was both. He played a style I haven’t seen before and haven’t seen since. He hit as hard as Dawkins and he owned the field like Reed. Miss that guy. Probably would’ve retired by now as the greatest ever
Kam Chancellor, and Eric Berry would like to have a word with you. But? I sort of agree. That type of mold of safety? Is gone now. There are no more true Superstars at that position in the league anymore. The last ones were Eric Berry, Earl Thomas, and Kam Chancellor. They all either had issues with devastating injuries ending their careers too early, or in Thomas case? They were headaches in the locker room, and off the field. Which caused him to end the career earlier than expected. Those types of safeties are no longer seen anywhere in the league sadly.
@@shanenelson5811Kam had 9 ffs, 44 pds and 12 interceptions in 109 games… Eric had 4 ffs, 51 pds, and 14 interceptions in 89 games… Sean had 8 ffs, 43 pds and 12 interceptions in 53 games… they aren’t even near the same level as him. Keep in mind Sean’s best year was his last which he only played 9 games and recorded 5 interceptions.
@Shailix You're missing the points. Those statistics are wonderful to point at. But let's not act like Sean Taylor had the ability to block fg's and punts like Kam, or score a pick six, and pick 2 in the same game like Berry did against Matt Ryan and the Atlanta Falcons. Those guys might not have had the small sample size with large statistics that Sean Taylor had? But, both of them were Superstars at safety. There are no more true Superstars at that position league wide. That was the whole point. Taylor was elite. He wasn't the last of his mold in the entire league..
@Shailix your either a Redskin fan, or casual to say Berry, and Chancellor were nowhere near the level of Taylor. That's almost blasphemous. Eric Berry in college at Tennessee? Was single handedly a game wrecker. He blew out 2 Achilles, and an ACL, MCL, and Meniscus while in the pros. As well as beat Non Hodgkins Lymphoma. Yet? Still came back at an all pro level. What would Berry have been had he been healthy all his career? On the flip side? What happens if Taylor was still alive and played as hard as he did? You really think he enjoys a 10-12 year career with a healthy body when he's blowing people up like that? John Lynch, and Brian Dawkins were about the only guys I remember playing that reckless for the entirety of their careers, and not having it cut short.
@@Shailixsean only had 1 pick the year before his final season and only 2 the year before that. He could get Pds but wasnt anywhere near the ballhawk ed reed was.
Huge Miami fan, I remember watching the 30 for 30 about the u, learning about Sean Taylor as a kid, All of Miami for that matter. One of my favorite players to watch highlights of. Wish I remembered watching him but I was 7-8 when he passed
You ain't lying about that we were robbed of Greatness just because of 3 little punks who tried to rob someone who was paying them money to work anyway YOU CANT GET NO MORE STUPID THAN THAT now they wasted their life in prison for $0.00
Sean Taylor is my favorite all-time football player and a lot of people don’t realize the special talents and skills he possessed. The man was built different and made an impact on the game. It’s really unfortunate that his life was taken from him so early, the man was a true star and he had turned his life around to be a great father to his daughter and a great fiancé to his fiancée. Sean Taylor was great in every aspect.
He was leading the league in picks only halfway through the season in '07 he had something like 7 ints, he picked off Favre 3x and dropped a fourth in that Green Bay game...special player!!
@@seanarcher4004 I still can’t believe what happened to him, the way it happened. He didn’t deserve this 😥, it still haunts me. And I’m sorry for the lost of your favorite player. Nothing but respect to you and the Giants family 💯. I hope your weekend is going well my friend.
I’m a big hurricane fan and remember watching him play in college. After he got drafted to a rival team I always remember thinking “Damn I hope the redskins lose but Sean ends up with like 2 picks.” This guy was the reason I switched from running back to defensive back in high school. Remember leaving work the day they announced he passed away and although I was in my very early 20’s I cried. Crazy, I never met him or got to see him in person but this guy was IT. Gone way too soon.
He was my favorite player at the time. Watching Atwater in the 90s is what made me a football fan. He was the only other safety I've seen play like that to this day
His life was cut short when he was not just going through a whole character arc on the field but off the field. He absolutely treasured his family especially when his daughter came into the picture. Honestly I think he would have been the greatest safety ever.
Exactly. Sean was normally pretty quiet, but his teammates kept saying that when he became a dad, he couldn't stop smiling and his joy was so genuine. His daughter helped ground him and he was enjoying fatherhood so much...his daughter can't remember him, but he died a hero protecting her ❤🩹
I know his time in the league was short-lived, but Sean Taylor is the greatest safety that I've ever seen with respect to Ed Reed, Ronnie Lott, Rod Woodson, Steve Atwater, Brian Dawkins, John Lynch, etc. Sean's head and shoulders above them all...the absolute total package. R.I.P. Sean...you were taken from us all way too soon!
Sean remains my all-time favourite player but this is a wild statement. If you want to call him the most physically talented safety ever, I can fully get behind that. Considering his size, he was probably a bigger hitter than all of them. But to say he was head and shoulders above them all is going too far. Woodson had 70+ career picks and Ed and Lott both had 60+. Woodson and Lott both made All-Pro at all three secondary positions. We can imagine what Sean could have been based on 3.5 seasons and project but there are no guarantees. Those players actually had ridiculous careers.
@@PlayerJay425 I was going to mention him in my reply. Polamalu was an absolute monster. Only player roughly his size that filled the run similarly was Bob Sanders and his body broke down quite quickly.
Jack Tatum is the greatest. Tatum hit harder than ALL of the guys you've mentioned, including Sean Taylor. Jack "The Assassin" Tatum is the safety that Ronnie Lott looked up to.
In only four years he had solidified himself as the best safety in NFL history. Lord only knows what full career would have revealed. I never saw anyone who play the position as well.
Bro it crushed me when i found out about his murder as a Washington fan since birth to present his loss is still felt now dude was one of a kind Hail To The Redskins!!!
As a Cowboys fan he was a great player and would've been legendary, and probably would've been in the hall or on his way by now, I was worried about playing the Redskins when they drafted him
The man only played like 4 seasons before he passed rip. Yet he’s still to this day considered one of the best safeties of all time. That’s insane!! What a legend
Loved watching Sean Taylor play and seeing the way he moved on the field at his size - another level to many NFL players. Had every chance to become the best safety ever.
Top 2, right next to Ed Reed. My friend at the time was a super-fan of Taylor's and it started to rub off on me after a while, even though I was a Ravens fan. I ended up buying a practice worn/signed glove from Sean Taylor.. such a shame some criminals had to end his life, way too short.
@@thabruhfrom9444 ed reed started the nfl better than taylor and had a far better career it not even close ed reed is better than sean taylor. Taylor career was cut short before he hit his peak but there no way anyone can say he better then reed when he done nothing to prove he was better. He could've been better cause he was more talented but he died before anything better then reed plain in simple. Talent doesn't make one person better than another. It sad he past away i get it. He was probably the most talented safty ever but he ain't even a top 5 safty with his career resume. Lets be realistic
@@shinoobigod3363r u referring to winning rings cuz that’s a team achievement my man. And Sean Taylor was literally a mix of the two greatest safety’s ever, ed reed snd polamalu.

When he died that was the first I literally cried for someone who wasn't in my immediate family. When I first heard he got shot, I was thinking ok, no doubt he pulls through. But when I learned that he died... Man smdh crushing feeling. Dawg was beast!
A Legend! I Remember Watching Him Play Growing Up And Going Out oN The Field Trying To Do What He Did . R.I.P To One Of The Greatest NFL Safeties To Ever Play! 🙏🏾🫶🏾
Sean Taylor will forever be one of my favorite all time safeties/defensive players ever to have played the game. He changed the way people approach football today and he showed what it looks like to be a genuine family man who just wants his family to be united again. He will be forever missed and remembered.
Somehow, I stumbled upon this video. Very recent, too. Nice footage. I just recently purchased a Mitchell & Ness White 2007 Legacy jersey. I truly believe he would’ve been one of the all-time greatest safeties to play. I believe he definitely would’ve been a HOFer.
As an Eagles fan, the short time he played, my goodness I was thinking, we are gonna have a nightmare time as long as he’s in the division..a lot of that hard hitting style I got when I played in jr high and then hs was seeing him and Dawkins just lay foos out and hit the RBs and not caring about their body as long as they could cause damage..beautiful sight unfortunately left too soon..RIP and had you still been alive and playing at that level, easily top 10 DB of all time
My favorite football player then and still is to this day. Sean Taylor and Sterling Sharpe deserve to be in the hall of fame regardless of their careers cut short. They were pure dominance.
That pro bowl hit was simply iconic in NFL history plus it wasn’t a regular game but a PRO BOWL game but Sean will always play hard on the field Taylor was a Ronnie Lott type which definitely was a player you wanted to watch out for simply he can hit hard and get a stop if he wants
Cowboys fan here: He was incredible. Intimidating, fast, electric, bold. Highlights don't do the man justice on how he effected play calling and schemes. RIP to a legend.
Man…I love the number 21 cause of this man. I played football cause of this guy. Everytime I would make an INT or a big hit I would yell “Sean Taylor!!”
Gratitude It was about a 3-mile jog from Taylor’s apartment to the facility, meaning he’d jog an extra 6 miles a day when he ran to the NFL facility and back.
I was 9 years old when he died. I had posters of him on my wall. When he died my mom woke me up before school and told me the news. I just remember sitting on the floor and crying.
I’m a die hard Washington fan have been my whole life I’m from DC it’s no way around it he was and still is my favorite player of all time and was the reason I played cornerback and safety in high school
I have seen LT, Reggie White and Bruce Smith all play in their prime. ST21 was in the category, he was ALWAYS the best player on the field on offense or defense.
Short answer: dominant and impressive almost 4 year career. Game changer. Ball hawk. New safety prototype, physically unmatched, with exceptional size and speed. Yeah, he was that good Basically he had the potential to be the Lebron James of his position
dude waking up that morning finding out he died before school was so sad, so many skins fans were waiting and with how he played we all expected the best and and 6 am we all heard it and a lot of us cried man
My favorite safety of all time! It still hurts my heart thinking about how he passed...
Same 😢
Would have been hof
@@rahulchavali5939I agree
I miss him I wish he got to live his full career
100% he was something special, i only wish we saw what could have been
People don’t realize what a prototype he was as a safety, he was the total package and it’s a complete tragedy that he was never able to realize his full potential as a player but more importantly as a man.
Yeah a felony charge, and drunk driving. He didnt seem to be so great as a man.
@@milanjack2461 Still doesn't mean he had to die.
@@milanjack2461a felony and drunk driving charge doesn’t mean he was a bad guy
@@revamp2672 not saying that but he seemed to be hanging with the wrong crowd. People act like he was a great human being just because de died young.

That was always the most notable thing about watching Taylor. He was involved in EVERY play in someway; always in the right place at the right time.

I’m a die hard Washington fan have been my whole life I’m from DC it’s no way around it he was and still is my favorite player of all time and was the reason I played cornerback and safety in high school
We Finally got this video 🙏🏼 Rip sean Taylor
Can you do a video on how good was Devin Hester actually
My favorite football player of all time gone too soon could’ve should’ve and would’ve been the greatest ever RIP
It's crazy how that broken helmet rumor wasn't a freaking rumor. Bro really did that shit. ❤
Finally the a video on this legend
probably the hardest hitting safety I have ever seen, really one of the biggest NFL what ifs
As a Washington fan I remember growing up watching him. I remember I was middle school library when they announced he passed I was floored
so glad i wasn’t alive than cs i woulda busted in tears 🤣🤣them damn skins ❤️
#21 The Greatest of Great! He was the reason I started watching football. Gone but Not Forgotten! R.I.P #21
RIP Sean. Best safety ever. Best father, son, brother & friend.
Long Live the goat himself one of my favorite players of all time Sean T💜🕊️
Best Redskin/Commander to ever play
He could have been one of the best to every play that position
RIP Sean Taylor #21
Sean had that dawg in him! Loved watching him play.
I have seen LT, Reggie White and Bruce Smith all play in their prime. ST21 was in the category, he was ALWAYS the best player on the field on offense or defense.
bro, idk shit about the NFL, but i really likes this videos so i watch anyway
The morning I saw that he had passed was one of the saddest moments alive. Still is. RIP Sean . Guess time still hasn't healed the wound!!
Until this day we still remember him! RIP Sean.
We riding on your spirit in the defense Taylor… the offense is good but you need you back there❤❤❤❤
RIP Meast.
This is the best vid ever
He should be elected to the hall of fame just off those four seasons 🐐🐐🐐 call me crazy
Short answer: dominant and impressive almost 4 year career.
Game changer.
Ball hawk.
New safety prototype, physically unmatched, with exceptional size and speed.
Yeah, he was that good
Basically he had the potential to be the Lebron James of his position
Rest in peace Sean Taylor
dude waking up that morning finding out he died before school was so sad, so many skins fans were waiting and with how he played we all expected the best and and 6 am we all heard it and a lot of us cried man
They better make him an actual Statue and memorial
Talk about a poor piss effort smh
Homestead is part of Dade County
Sean Taylor a Dade County legend 🙌🏾
Nice video! I think you should do how good was jerry rice actually
If this didn't happen he would've been a hof and one of the goats at his position rip to sean t
My favorite Hurricane of all time 😊
Anytime they threw it deep against us with Sean Taylor back there, I never worried.
