Pro Bowl Memories: Sean Taylor lays legendary hit in 2006

It’s unlikely that there will be many highlight videos posted to this website today during the 2020 NFL Pro Bowl. There will undoubtedly be some highlights in the game, but they probably won’t come from punter Tress Way, who is the only representative for the Washington Redskins down in Orlando.

So, rather than watch the rest of the NFL’s star athletes run trick plays and celebrate in the league’s All-Star Game, let’s remember a time when the Redskins overtook this day of the year. A time when a Washington legend gave us quite possibly the greatest highlight in Pro Bowl history.

Let’s remember Sean Taylor.

Nobody is safe. 14 years ago, in the 2006 Pro Bowl, Taylor effectively ended a man’s life on a fake punt in an exhibition game in Hawaii. If you know anything about Taylor, this shouldn’t surprise you in the slightest.

You can bet that Way is watching this video and thinking twice about going for a fake punt any time on Sunday.
