Redskins BEST EVER Poll Series #2: Safety

[53Fan]

This one seemed hard for me. I've always considered Ken Houston the best safety to ever play, including Ronnie Lott. The play where he literally held Walt Garrison from crossing the goal line by himself, was one of the greatest plays I've ever seen. Then there's Sean Taylor. There is no doubt in my mind that Sean was well on his way to being the greatest safety to ever play the game, hands down. His intimidation alone was a defensive weapon that caused concern before a receiver even ran his route. He caused mental disruption before the play was even executed. He brought what every defensive player hopes to bring to an offense....FEAR. His talent was beyond compare and his desire and work ethic were every coaches dream. Through no fault of his own, someone took his life. I will take nothing else from this young man who brought more excitement and awe to me, than any player I've ever had the pleasure of watching in my life. Sean Taylor gets my vote.
