These are two people I know and respect greatly. Sean’s passing will have an impact on the Washington Redskins organization and the entire NFL community. Our thoughts and prayers go out to Sean’s family, friends, and teammates, including our own Jerome McDougle, who played with Sean at the University of Miami.”
