This is from the Dallas Morning News Report from Valley Ranch. Thought you guys would be interented in it.
Just hours after Taylor died, the Cowboys defensive players honored the Redskins safety with a moment of silence. SS Roy Williams says he's hoping to wear Taylor's No. 21 on the back of his helmet for the rest of the season.
Williams, who knew Taylor, said the birth of Taylor's child had turned his life around after he incurred gun and drunken driving charges earlier in his career.
"He's a great dude, and I was happy he added the new addition to his family with the birth of his daughter," Williams said. "His whole life changed and turned around. I was impressed with him."
Growing up in Florida, Cowboys safety Patrick Watkins always watched Taylor. When Watkins was a high school junior in Tallahassee, Taylor was a senior in Miami. And when Watkins was at Florida State, he played against Taylor twice before Taylor left the University of Miami early for the NFL draft.
"That's a dude I looked up to," said Watkins, who is looking into attending the funeral. "It's a devastating loss for a lot of people in Florida and around the league."
