Lawrence Taylor - Wow!

LT was a beast on the football field

LT was a beast on the football field. I loved seeing him chase down a scared quarterback. If I was a football player I would have run the other way! Talent was not lacking with this dude.

Taylor did not play organized football until the 11th grade. He played defensive lineman at UNC Chapel Hill when he first enrolled in college. He was later shifted to linebacker. With a rare combination of size and speed, Taylor, 6 feet 3 and weighing 240 pounds, excelled as a linebacker. In 1980 he was named an All American. He entered the NFL draft in 1981 and was the second overall pick, selected by the New York Giants.

It is no joke that many consider him to be the single best defensive player ever to play in the NFL. When he played football he was called LT, which became a household name. He benefited from playing with a total disregard for his body.

Lawrence Taylor was the middle of three sons born to Clarence and Iris Taylor in Williamsburg, Virginia. He was an All-America at North Carolina. He was the first-round draft pick of the New York Giants. As we said earlier in this article, he was the second pick overall in that draft. When LT played with the New York Giants he led them to two Super Bowls and spent his entire career with the team. He was also a unanimous selection to the NFL 75th Anniversary team, which honored the top players in the history of the game. He was also the Rookie of the Year in 1981. He was selected Most Valuable Player in 1986. He was also named a Defensive Player of the Year three times. In 1999 he was inducted into the NFL Hall of Fame in an emotional ceremony. This was the first year that he was eligible.

Let me repeat this again, Lawrence Taylor, also known as LT, played his entire NFL football career for the New York Football Giants. He won several defensive awards after his rookie season. He had over 10 sacks each year from 1994 to 1990. Sacks are usually the measuring stick for players at his position.
