2 Sean Taylor
Taylor was the fifth pick overall in the 2004 NFL Draft for the Washington Redskins. While Taylor was away from his home on November 18th, 2007 his house was burglarized. Eight days after that, an intruder entered Taylor’s home and proceeded to shoot him in the leg.
Unfortunately, the bullet hit his femoral artery and he lost a significant amount of blood. He was airlifted to the hospital and had surgery. However Taylor entered a coma due to the massive amount of blood lost and he died the next afternoon. During his short career, Taylor had two Pro-Bowl appearances and is still considered one of the 80 Greatest Redskins.
