Sean Taylor Fighting for his Life

Washington Redskins Safety, Sean Taylor, is in critical condition after being shot near the femoral artery in his thigh.

”I got the call around 2:10 this morning,” Pedro Taylor said. ‘I thought it was a station call, and then one of my majors, he said, `Your son, he’s been shot.’ I almost didn’t believe it. . . . It’s been very tough, as a father, as a friend, as a person, you never want to see anyone in life ever hurt.”

Taylor started to show some Responsiveness later Monday evening.

“He was responsive to the doctor’s requests to squeeze his hands and showed facial expressions. The doctors were very happy about that,” Redskins Vice President of Football Operations Vinny Cerrato said, per Jason La Canfora of the Washington Post. “Two doctors came and told us they were excited about that.”

Taylor isn’t the nicest guy in the NFL and he has been known to be somewhat of a thug but I wish him a fast recovery and hopefully he can turn his life around.

UPDATE:
Sean Taylor has passed away at the age of 24. My thoughts and prayers go out to his family.
