After nearly two decades since Sean Taylor’s untimely death, the Washington Commanders have decided to honor him properly.
In a statement released Saturday, the franchise announced plans to celebrate Taylor’s legacy. Meanwhile, after several failed attempts from the previous regime, the Commanders have promised to finally deliver on building a statue of the late former star.
“Together with the Taylor family, we are working on a plan, which includes unveiling a statue that will rightfully celebrate the legacy and impact that Sean had on our organization, fan base and community,” the statement read via Nicki Jhabvala of the Washington Post. “The Washington Commanders are committed to honoring our legends in a first-class manner.”
Taylor’s daughter, Jackie Taylor, helped announce the news via social media. She lauded the team’s ownership group, headed by Josh Harris and Magic Johnson, for the opportunity to keep her father’s “legacy alive.”
“I’m filled with gratitude to know that my dad will forever be a part of the burgundy and gold family,” Jackie Taylor said.
