When his news came to us it was out of nowhere. Everyone for days had no idea what really happened because we couldnt see. Everett was injured on the field during a game, Taylor was shot and killed at his home. I dont really think the two are even on the same page together.
Not to diminish Taylor's death, or the shock and loss felt by the Redskins team, but I simply cannot imagine what it would be like to have such a life-changing event -- to be so severely injury that I'm paralyzed. Yes, Everett is walking now, which is a great testimony to his courage and resolve to overcome his problem. But his life has changed radically, and forever.

Another thought: Everett had to deal with his injury basically alone. The Skins, at least, had each other's support.

Both the Skins and Everett are deserving, and both have shown unusual character, but Everett's response to such a significant physical injury is really amazing.
