You should've seen his running regiment while at UM. You can't fathom how much he ran during workouts (Off campus) wasn't much of a weightlifting guy. Kinda loathed it. But leave UM early in the a.m and run until infinity. @Brooklyndee will attest.

While that's true, he also loved to just do his own.thing out there. He didn't like the film room, he loathed it in fact. That's straight from his.cousim and when we hung out post game one time, he jokingly asked Sean what he thought of the film room. The expression said it all, was priceless. He was instinctual and if you could've combined Ed's work ethic with his natural instincts and ability you would've had the best safety of all time.

Ed was that. Sean could've been that, but RIP.

The funny thing about ST is that all the crazy stories that sound hyperbolic, are true. He was the real deal.

In 2003, I watched Sean Throw down Windmill Dunks after Dunks in the small practice gym next to Hecht. There was a few FB players and BB players in the gym. Not to mention Glen Rice, who practiced at UM often. SeanTay walked in gym. took backpack off. Put on Dunk display....kicked it with some of the FB & BB players, then calmly walked out of the gym....Surreal Savagery.

I think in our lifetime, he will eventually be inducted into the NFL HOF. Keep hope alive.

Does anyone know if he has been inducted or nominated for the UM HOF or the NCAA College Football HOF? I would think both of those are/were shoe-ins at some point.
 
ST26 embodies what a “Miami guy” looks like. Fast, physical, and plays with an edge to him. He’s a legend and also the leader of our last championship caliber team. Sean had Ronnie Lott/Brian Dawkins hitting ability coupled with Ed Reed ball-hawking skills. NFL has never seen anything like him, and I’d argue that I’m not sure if ever will.

That whole “Who’s the Greatest Safety Ever” conversation would look totally different imo. Smh.

He would be the greatest safety ever without a doubt in my mind… Many people debate it between Ed Reed and Ronnie Lott. He could do everything both of those guys could do. Ball hawking and big hitter. Sean would’ve been a first ballot hall of famer without question.

IMO Lawrence Taylor is the greatest defensive player in league history. I think Sean would fit right in that top5 regardless of position list if his career continued.

100% NFL never seen anything like it and probably never will again.

Every time a big bodied safety with freakish athleticism comes around they get compared to Sean. Taylor Mays comes to mind but he had no where near the skill set of Sean.

Craziest thing is Sean likely could’ve been a pro bowl running back!

I always felt he was a combination of Lott, Ed and Steve Atwater.
