Former Miami Hurricanes safety Sean Taylor will be inducted into the Washington Redskins “Ring of Fame” on November 30th when his former NFL team takes on the the defending Super Bowl champs, the New York Giants.
“It’s appropriate that Sean joins our Ring of Fame after a stellar career cut short far too soon,” Redskins owned Daniel Snyder said in a statement released by the team. “His life touched so many of us in such deep and lasting ways. His presence is all around us, in our organization and among our fans.”
Taylor will be the 43rd member of the Redskins organization admitted into the Ring of Fame. The death of the two-time Pro Bowl selection and fifth pick of the 2004 NFL draft will never be filled in Washington, where his lockers at FedEx Field and Redskins Park have been kept in place as he left them, as a tribute.
Keep the Taylor family in your prayers this holiday season as the one-year anniversary of Sean’s death is November 27th, which falls on Thanksgiving this year.
