The 6-foot-2 safety quickly emerged as one of the game’s premier defensive backs. Taylor earned a Pro Bowl nod in 2006 and helped Washington to a 10-6 season in his sophomore year. They would defeat the Tampa Bay Buccaneers in the 2005 Wild Card Round, marking the franchise’s most recent playoff victory.
In the 53 games he played over four seasons, Sean Taylor recorded 12 interceptions, 43 pass breakups, eight forced fumbles, two sacks and 305 combined tackles. He was posthumously named a Pro Bowler and 2007 Second-team All-Pro in 2007.

Sean Taylor’s life was tragically cut short 17 years ago, but his memory and legacy certainly haven’t been forgotten.
REPORT: Chiefs TE Travis Kelce Is Bidding To Make Mother Donna Kelce’s “Dream Come True” With Incredibly Heartwarming Gesture

Kansas City Chiefs tight end Travis Kelce is reportedly working extensively to make a “dream come true” for his mother, Donna Kelce.
Donna is the mother of retired Philadelphia Eagles legend Jason and current Chiefs star Travis Kelce. She was a popular story during Super Bowl 57, since her two sons had the once-in-a-lifetime experience of squaring off in the big game.
While Donna continues to support Travis and the Chiefs, Travis is reportedly trying to make his mother’s dream a reality.
According to a report from Steve Brenner of The U.S. Sun, Travis Kelce is looking to purchase a vineyard in northern Italy for Donna, who has the dream of starting up a winery business in the country:
“A well-placed source close to the Kelce family has told The U.S. Sun that wine-lover Donna would be “thrilled” to be the co-owner of a business in northern Italy.
We understand Travis and his advisors have been seeking out key players in the wine industry with the view of becoming involved themselves.
The three-time Super Bowl-winning tight-end, according to our insider, was “stunned” by the landscape, culture and beauty on offer in Italy during his recent trip to Lake Como with Taylor Swift.”
Brenner’s report indicated the advisors for Travis Kelce were given a price of $3.5 million to get his foot in the vineyard business. And thanks to Travis’ fame, which has largely grown during his relationship with Taylor Swift, several businesses are interested in working with the three-time Super Bowl champion.

Kelce and the Chiefs recently agreed to a two-year contract extension worth a whopping $34.25 million. Throw in his previous career earnings and cash through endorsements, and the financial resources are plentiful to help Donna experience a dream come true.
Travis Kelce & Chiefs Aim For A Fourth Super Bowl
The Chiefs defeated the San Francisco 49ers in Super Bowl 58 to complete the first repeat since the 2003 and ’04 New England Patriots. Up next, the dynastic Chiefs will try to become the first team ever to win three straight Super Bowls.
Kansas City’s quest to history will begin on Sept. 5, when they welcome reigning MVP Lamar Jackson and his Baltimore Ravens to Arrowhead Stadium in the annual kickoff game. This will be a rematch of the 2023 AFC Championship Game that Kansas City won 17-10.
After that, the Chiefs will stay home to welcome another familiar rival in Joe Burrow and the Cincinnati Bengals in Week 2.
