Hypothetical question:

If the football player who was wasn't a starter or elite player like Sean Taylor, would we be just as sad and have a thread this long about it?

I really don't think so

Not football, but baseball middle-of-the-road pitcher Joe Kennedy just died at age 28 from yet to be explained (as far as I know) causes, and nobody seemed to care much at all.

Apparently good, 24 year old football player getting murdered is way more tragic than average 28 year old baseball player going naturally.*

*Again, I'm not up-to-speed on the details of Kennedy's death.
