Commanders to Honor Sean Taylor with Statue

The Washington Commanders have announced plans to build a statue in honor of late safety Sean Taylor, who was tragically killed in 2007. This decision comes after removing a previous memorial installation criticized for inaccuracies and lack of authenticity. The new statue will be designed with input from Taylor's daughter, Jackie, and is intended to be a more fitting tribute to his legacy. The Commanders' new ownership, led by Josh Harris, expressed commitment to honoring Taylor and other franchise legends in a first-class manner. The statue will be able to move to the team's next stadium, ensuring a lasting tribute. Taylor's No. 21 was retired in 2022, and this statue will make him the first former player to be memorialized in this way by the team.
