Jason Taylor’s Final Locker Room Speech Was Actually Pretty Touching

We told you yesterday about the farewell billboard Jason Taylor bought in Miami, and now we have a video message from the guy who somehow beat D'Brickashaw Ferguson around the edge yesterday. It's vaguely tender and worth your time.

Taylor had a splendid career—he was All-Pro five times and AFC Defensive Player of the Year twice—although he had middling one-year stops with the Redskins (after a Dolphins holdout) and Jets toward the end of it. He was also a runner-up on Dancing With the Stars, if that's your thing. But those non-Dolphin blips only mitigate his sentiments somewhat. This was nice. Somewhere, Zach Thomas is trying to nod.
