Pretty crappy deal all around. Getting murdered in front of his family in mid-season was a devastating blow to those who knew him, and clearly the Redskins felt his death deeply.

This is pretty high on the tragedy scale. A young, talented guy shot in his home in front of his family.

Death is usually hard to take, but murder is definitely shocking. Sean Taylor's killing, especially in the middle of a football season when he and his team are receiving so much attention, was absolutely shocking. Its sad to see a young person killed, especially with a young family to take care of. It seemed like a lot of fans and players took this hard, because Sean Taylor was admired by many.
