While the Washington Football Team is coming off one of the biggest wins that the franchise has had in quite some time, there is a somber feeling on this Friday, while everyone reflects and remembers the life of the late, great Sean Taylor, who was murdered 13 years ago today.
On November 27, 2007, Taylor was shot by armed robbers while trying to protect his family, and he later passed away. Taylor was entering the prime of his career and becoming the greatest safety to play the game. He was beloved by fans, teammates, and coaches. His untimely death stopped what would have been a Hall of Fame career, and left us all wonder what could have been.
On this day, the NFL world as a whole mourns the loss of a legend.

Can't hear Sean Taylor's name without thinking of @LRiddickESPN who scouted and helped draft Taylor when he was part of the @WashingtonNFL organization. Here's how Louis described Taylor on SportsCenter 2 yrs ago. #RIP21 pic.twitter.com/69YRr4y9VK

Ron Rivera starts his presser by first sending his condolences to the Jim Hanifan family, and then also sending prayers to Sean Taylor's family. Knows today is the anniversary of his death.
Never coached him, but met Taylor and called him a once-in-a-lifetime player.

Sean Taylor was fun to watch, fun to support and was human as hell. He was also a superhero. https://t.co/7I4EbEltDr

The world lost Sean Taylor on this day in 2007. 🙏
He was a playmaker. ⚡️
Watch him out-jump Randy Moss, tip the ball away, hit Moss, tip the ball away again, hit Moss again and then hit the ground:pic.twitter.com/xjeG09vYn1
