Washington Redskins safety Sean Taylor died after he was shot in the leg during a possible burglary at his Florida home. He was 24.
Talk was positive last night after Taylor grasped a nurses hand. Doctors thought he would pull through. However, in the early AM this morning, Taylor passed away in the hospital.

Sean Taylor was a bad ass safety for the Redskins. He was a multiple Probowler and one of the biggest hitters in the league. He presence on and off the field will be missed by his teammates and the fans.

What I don’t understand is why the authorities are calling this a possible burglary. Taylor’s girlfriend and daughter were in the house during the shooting and weren’t injured. Criminals who try to rob someone, won’t go in the house and shoot up one person and leave the other’s alone. They’ll shoot everyone. I think that this was a targeted hit on Taylor. He may have messed with the wrong guys and they waited for a time when they could get back at Sean. They knew he would be home in Miami.

It’s a tough situation to lose someone in the public eye. The Redskins were already having a down year. They’ll either go further down with this news, or they could rally around Sean’s spirit and move in a positive direction.
