Williams, who knew Taylor, said the birth of Taylor's child had turned his life around after he incurred gun and drunken driving charges earlier in his career.
"He's a great dude, and I was happy he added the new addition to his family with the birth of his daughter," Williams said. "His whole life changed and turned around. I was impressed with him."
Growing up in Florida, Cowboys safety Patrick Watkins always watched Taylor. When Watkins was a high school junior in Tallahassee, Taylor was a senior in Miami. And when Watkins was at Florida State, he played against Taylor twice before Taylor left the University of Miami early for the NFL draft.
"That's a dude I looked up to," said Watkins, who is looking into attending the funeral. "It's a devastating loss for a lot of people in Florida and around the league."

Thanks for posting that. Good stuff. Skins-Boys is an ultra-fierce rivalry, but these guys respect each other so much. It's great to see such a outpouring of support.

It is good to see that NFL players can act like professional athletes and put aside rivalries when it matters most.

The NFL is one big family, and when something like this happens, it hits them just as hard as it hits us. Rivalries are put aside at a time like this, and it's very classy of the Cowboys to honor Sean the way they are.

Honestly, after all this I'm going to look at the Cowboys in a new light. They'll always be our biggest rival, but I definitely have a newfound respect for them.
