Sean Taylor Dead At The Age Of 24

On Tuesday, November 27, Sean Taylor was announced dead at Jackson Memorial Hospital. Last night, an intruder burst into the superstars home in Miami, Florida. Taylor was fired at twice and hit once in his leg. Unfortunately, the bullet pierced Taylor's artery causing a severe loss of blood to the Redskins' safety. During all this, Taylor's one year old daughter was upstairs in her crib and unaware that her father was being robbed.

Not only a week ago, someone broke into Taylors house and went through all of his drawers and before leaving left a knife on his bed. This was a sign of the future coming to Taylor. Before playing pro football, teammate Clinton Portis said "Sean was mixed with the wrong group of people until being put on our team in his early 20's."

Taylor who was having a MVP season, was pronounced to the pro-bowl this year as well. He was the leader of interceptions and blocked passes on a very good Washington defensive team. His agent pledged to visit the family once a month with some type of empathy being sent from the Redskins team to his family.
