Pretty much a regular
The late Sean Taylor will be inducted into the Redskins’ Ring of Fame at FedExField in a ceremony prior to the Redskins-New York Giants game on Nov. 30.
Fans are encouraged to arrive early at FedExField for the pre-game ceremony, which begins at approximately 12:30 p.m. ET. Kickoff is 1 p.m. ET.
The entire Ring of Fame ceremony honoring Taylor will be broadcast LIVE on Redskins.com. Fans unable to attend the proceedings should go to Redskins.com at 12:30 p.m. on Sunday to watch the ceremony as it unfolds at FedExField.
Taylor is the 43rd member admitted into the Ring of Fame, which honors those who have made distinguished contributions to the team.
The ceremony will feature a tribute and messages from former teammates as well as comments from Taylor’s family and the presentation of commemorative plaques to members of Taylor’s family after his memorial is added to the stadium wall.
It will be the Redskins’ first game following the anniversary of Taylor’s tragic death at the age of 24, which occurred on Nov. 27 of last year in Miami.
“It’s appropriate that Sean joins our Ring of Fame after a stellar career cut short far too soon,” Redskins owner Daniel M. Snyder said. “His life touched so many of us in such deep and lasting ways. His presence is all around us, in our organization and among our fans.”
Executive Vice President of Football Operations Vinny Cerrato added: “Sean was developing into one of the best to ever play the safety position, as well as becoming a role model to those who knew him. He still touches us every day in some way on and off the field.”
In addition, all proceeds from the sale of Sean Taylor merchandise on Sunday will benefit the Sean Taylor Memorial Trust Fund.
With his combination of size, speed, athleticism, ferocity and instincts, Taylor was one of the most unique and dynamic athletes the game has ever seen, despite playing less than four seasons.
He was a two-time Pro Bowl selection after the Redskins made him the fifth pick of the 2004 NFL draft following an All-American career at the University of Miami.
