Sean Michael Maurice Taylor (April 1, 1983 November 27, 2007) was an American football free safety who played for the Washington Redskins of the National Football League. Taylor was drafted in the first round (fifth overall) of the 2004 NFL Draft by the Redskins. He played college football at the University of Miami, where he helped lead the Hurricanes to a national championship in 2001. Due to his style of hitting, several of his pro teammates nicknamed him "Meast," a reference to "half man, half beast."
Taylor was murdered on November 27, 2007, at the age of 24, dying from critical injuries from gunshots by intruders at his Miami area home on November 26, 2007. His death led to an outpouring of national support and sympathy, especially in the Washington D.C. area, where Taylor was a fan favorite as a Redskin, and the Miami area, where Taylor had been a standout high school and college football player. In honor of Taylor, for the first play of the first game after he was murdered, the Redskins defense came out with only ten players instead of the usual 11 in their game against the Buffalo Bills.
