There’s no doubt that Sean Taylor was one of the greatest players in Washington Redskins history. Despite a relatively short career that ended with his tragic murder during the 2007 season, he established himself as one of the best safeties in the NFL and was on his way to having a Hall of Fame career.
Since Taylor’s untimely passing, the Redskins have struggled to fill the void at safety. A couple of years ago, it looked like the team had fixed the position by adding D.J. Swearinger and Montae Nicholson to the roster. However, that didn’t pan out, as Swearinger spoke out against his teammates and coaches despite being warned not to while Nicholson regressed in his second year.
