I was sitting in my hotel room and ESPN ran a story on the 2007 death of Taylor at 24 years old.
It reminded me of how special Sean Taylor was and that we actually considered him to be better than Ed Reed.
Let's Compare some great safeties:
Reed (4.5 -40)and Polamula (4.4-40) are both under 6feet and weigh a little over 200lbs.
Taylor (4.5-40) was 6'2" and weighed in at 230 as a 21 year old that was voted the hardest hitter in the NFL.
Production:
Reed in 4 years 25 turnovers.
Polamula 11 turnovers.
Taylor 20
Tackles. Reed. 227. Polamula 217
Taylor 299 Tackles and much more intimidating in the secondary than anyone in recent history.
He was the best college safety that I have ever seen.
Greatness needs to be remembered!
Try YouTube if you have forgotten.

Lester gets to stay for years to come--- I was hopeful he would call the hogs-- only to have my hopes dashed with the extension. I guess 5 more years of anemic offense, poor game management, and poor player development
