The Washington Commanders have been slammed after the franchise unveiled an underwhelming life-size memorial in an attempt to honour Sean Taylor.
Taylor was selected by Washington - then known as the Redskins - with the fifth overall pick in the 2004 NFL Draft and he played in four seasons for the franchise. He became a cult hero thanks to his hard-hitting style, and even made the Pro Bowl in 2006.
However, Taylor was tragically killed midway through the 2007 season when he was shot by intruders at his home in the Miami area, and he died the following day. Posthumously, Taylor earned a second Pro Bowl nod and was awarded Second-Team All-Pro honours, while he was inducted into Washington’s Ring of Fame in 2008.
