A person's character is a foundational part of their self-being. Some NFL head coaches are seen as tough people that love nothing more than football and they find players to win in their systems. Then there are the coaches that breed success within their organizations by creating bonds and beliefs with their players. They are a team. They consider each other family. According to Cincinnati Bengals head coach Zach Taylor, his counterpart in Buffalo, Sean McDermott is definitely a Category #2 coach.

When speaking with Bills beat writer, Matt Parrino from syracuse.com about the events of Monday night, the Bengals head coach talked about how impressed he was by McDermott in the heat of a very serious situation in the middle of a nationally televised NFL game with real playoff implications. “The first thing he said was, ‘I need to be at the hospital with Damar and I shouldn’t be coaching this game,’” Zach Taylor explained to Parrino. “In that moment he really showed who he was. That all his focus was just on Damar and being there for him and being there for his family at the hospital.”

The true neighbor will risk his position, his prestige, and even his life for the welfare of others.” Sean McDermott certainly measured up to Dr. King Jr's words on Monday night.
