Sean Taylor Tribute
Sean Taylor passed away on Nov. 27, 2007, as a result of an injury from a shooting at his home. He was 24 years old.
Taylor is the son of Pedro Taylor and Donna Junor. His long-time girlfriend is Jackie Garcia. He is survived by his young daughter, also named Jackie.
As a player, Taylor was regarded as the prototype NFL free safety, blessed with the quickness of a cover cornerback and the size of a strong-side linebacker. He had a rare combination of size, speed, strength and agility, and was a hard hitter.
He was named to the Pro Bowl following 2006, a year in which he led the Redskins in tackles. For his career, Taylor had 344 tackles (245 solo), 12 interceptions, 41 passes defended and four forced fumbles. He was named to the 2007 Pro Bowl posthumously.
On Nov. 30, 2007, the Redskins announced the establishment of a trust fund to benefit Taylor's daughter Jackie.
