What is your favorite thing and the thing you will always remember about Sean Taylor?
 
I think mine is the same for both I always loved how he was the only Starting safety that didnt wear gloves. It always made him stand apart in my opinion and I wont ever forget that. It was like his signature or something. Just the finger tape.

The fact that he could have been a huge star with dozens of endorsments. It just seems that he didn't want to be an entertainer or spokesmodel (Peyton, Deion.) He was just a football player.

I remember how psyched I was the day we drafted him. I was yelling at the TV like an idiot and running around my house. Then in the Hall of Fame game that August, his first live action, he gets an INT. Awesome.

The picture that sticks in my head is the one they've been showing of him smiling and holding his baby girl. To me it represents the man he had become.

And my favorite moment was his fumble recovery for a TD in the Philly game that sealed victory and propelled us to our first playoff berth since '99.

He always seemed so polite and calm even when everyone made him out to be a monster and a Bad Guy,He was truly one of a kind and nobody can replicate the way he played and the way he was in his Life.

My favorite Sean Taylor moment or moments is every single time he hit T.O., god I'm gonna miss that.

The image of ST that will always be in my mind is him with that fro in pre-game warm ups before the Monday night Philly game.

I remember once when he was a rookie and wearing 36 we played Pittsburg and he came up and knocked the snot out of Bettis, who was also wearing 36, and did a little "hump dance" over the top of Bettis, who looked shocked that some rookie he outweighed just lifted him off the ground and stuffed him at the line...

My other fav. was when we were playing the Vikes and (God I don't remember the back's name...) they were on the goal line about to punch it in and ST picked that bastard straight up off the ground and drove him backward one on one... the only thing between the back and the goalline was ST, but it may as well have been a freight train.

I remember that it was Moe Williams.

I'll always remember in the ring of horror game, after Moss's second TD. The cowboys were driving and I believe Bledose throws to Clayton for a 1st and Sean comes up and leaves a huge hit for an incomplete. The ball went flying from the recievers hands.

Loved his style, he was just a bad dude. Remember when he taped up his face mask, or wore the crazy socks, or sported a mean fro for a while?

The way he could swoop in a pick a fumble off a bounce (Eagles, Bucs, Cowboys) and take off without ever losing his speed or focus was an unbelievably remarkable athletic skill that I compare to the best moves of the likes of Barry Sanders, Michael Jordan, and Wayne Gretzky.

Yeah he was silky smooth.

Definitely his work ethic.

The guy played every game, every down like the game counted on him making a play. Chasing down guys from behind, just throwing himself 110% into the game. And he did it and wasn't flashy about it. Some guys know they're so good and show off. Outside of that ONE incident where he spit on Pittman (And that guy's an ass anyway), ST to me was a class act.
