I think there's a difference between being physically strong and football strength. Sean Taylor wasn't ripped, per se, but he was what I would call football strong, in that he could leverage his size, speed, and power to take on players bigger than him or blow up running backs and wideouts. That's what actually made him so special.

Laron Landry tends to blow people up if he's running in a straight line after gaining some momentum. I don't ever remember a running back blowing up Sean Taylor, even if he was stationary at the line of scrimmage.
