My personal GOAT



Gone WAY too soon. One of the best physical specimens when it came to football ever
Whole reason I'm a Hurricanes fan now

Sad

 

[Alexander The Great]

Hurricanes had Ed Reed, and then when he graduated, Sean Taylor took over we were so spoiled

and then had brandon meriweather and kenny phillips after that

 

[Freddie.Cane]

There will never be another Sean T

 

[SoulController]

and then had brandon meriweather and kenny phillips after that

Meriweather got alot of flack for his bonk hits, but he made 2 Pro Bowls and is Miami's all time leader in tackles by a DB (obscure but cool fact)

theres been so many guys that rocked the 26 on both levels to honor Sean: Antrel/Deon Bush/Rayshawn/Ray Ray/Kenny and a few im forgetting

its open rn, if Josh Jobe wants to rock it next year he better be on his shyt

 

[Big Boss]

 

[Flawdaboi]

rivalry aside this was WELL deserved. Congrats Sean (rip) and best wishes to his family more importantly his children

nikka single-handily beat us in game...can't help but to show respect!

My GOAT, and honestly the Redskins secondary still hasn't recovered from his death.

Before he died, Sean was turning Laron into a good SS(area51). Nobody has come along worthy enough to wear #21, and hell even when I see players wear #36 on the 'skins i cringe.
