NFL receiver Charley Taylor has passed at 80. For Washington fans, he was the best, going to 8 Pro Bowls and being inducted to the Pro Football Hall of Fame. When he retired in 1977, he was the all time leader in receptions. He was also receivers coach for the likes of Art Monk and Gary Clark under Coach Joe Gibbs during the glory years of three Syper Bowl wins. For a kid growing up near DC and watching his team become a powerhouse, Taylor (along with Sonny Jurgensen and others) meant so much to so many fans, including me. Thank you Charley.
