"He has the chance to make his mark, forge his own path, compete for a roster spot and honor the memory of Sean," Creed Sports and Entertainment posted on social media. "Gabe couldn't be more excited, focused, and ready for the opportunity." Sean made a name for himself in just 3.5 seasons in Washington with his explosive hits and his ability to tackle from the safety position. Taylor was shot in the upper thigh in November of 2007, and passed away due to the blood loss.
