Taylor, who played his college ball at the University of Miami, was selected fifth overall by the Redskins in the 2004 NFL Draft and quickly established himself as one of the most explosive, hard-hitting safeties that the game had ever seen. He earned Pro Bowl honors in two of his four NFL seasons (2006, 2007), which provided us with one of the most iconic hits in the history of the sport.

Buffalo Bills punter Brian Moorman will surely never forget the time he tried to run a fake punt in the '06 Pro Bowl.
