Sean Taylor tribute
Filed Under Multimedia journalism
After a happy Thanksgiving, today takes a somber tone for Redskins fans. Two years ago, Redskins safety Sean Taylor was shot and murdered in his Miami home while protecting his wife and daughter from intruders. He was 24 years old.
On the anniversary of his death, Washington fans still remember the safety for his skill, athleticism and hard hits. Though at some points in his career he was at the center of scandal, from a criminal charge to an ejection from a game after spitting at an opponent, he will be remembered for the shining talent that made him a Pro Bowl player and the dedication to his daughter and fiance that turned his personal life around before his life was tragically cut short. Today, officials set up a special area outside FedEx Field as a memorial for fans.
Here is one of my favorite multimedia tributes, “Every Given Sunday,” a song created by a local DJ in honor of Taylor.
