ASHBURN, Va. -- When Phil Taylor wanted to call it a career, his wife and son pushed back.
Taylor's wife, Dajana, told him he needed to get back on the football field, and son Phil Jr. didn't want to see his father give up on the dream of playing in the NFL.
"They kept my will in it, and I kept going at it," Taylor said. "I might not have been in a place I wanted to be mentally, but at the same time I kept fighting to get back out here."
Almost three years since he last played in a regular-season NFL game, Taylor is in camp with the Washington Redskins and looking like someone who hasn't been out nearly that long.
