I know I’m from the UK but have followed American Football for decades and in my humble opinion LT was the greatest defensive player I have ever seen.

[@zodden01]

I had the honor of growing up at Giants Stadium and every single home game of Taylor's entire career I was there. I have never seen anything like him before or after and doubt I will ever see it again. I got used to focusing on him for just about every defensive play because you just didn't want to miss what he was doing to opposing offensives. The way he moved people out of the way, including through the double teams was hard to believe. I used to look at the QB and you could see they would be turning their heads to see where he was lining up. Almost like they were in fear......Man it was incredible. And Giant fans will remember (cause we sat 4th row section 139 end zone) when offenses were near the end zone in between plays he would turn to us and tell us to get up and go nuts. And we did!! Memories I will never forget.

[@ShogunX11]

On top of instinct

[@georgemorley1029]

Yeah all this talk of his beastly strength and speed is not the whole story. I see that point. I see intelligence that gave him the platform to terrorise the opposition, like for example, he knows what he’s doing when he drives the man back to the point he can cut in and take the QB at ninety degrees to the line of scrimmage. The blocker loses track of how far back he’s getting driven then he cuts straight in and the QB thinks “oh shit, how did he get there and come at me from that angle”, then he uses strength and speed to get over any cover there and get the sack, that’s brains not just brute force. He looks like the way he plays disrupts the opposition, like the Larry Bird of football. You can’t stop him. By the way, I freely admit that I really don’t know much about what we call “American” football as I’m British, but I do think I can spot a sportsman who has intelligence in his play.

As a New Yorker I am somewhat biased. However, I believe it is justified. As a kid I watched Willie Lanier of The Kansas City Chiefs and thought he was the best and modelled my game after him. I admired Butkis and Nitscke but they were just a notch in time before I was watching the game seriously. Lawrence Taylor came along and completely rewrote the way Defense was played. I have to say that the men he played with on Defense were every bit as scary as he was. Carson, Banks, Reasons, Martin, Marshall, Burt. Are you kiddin me? Every one of them Assassins in their own right. They put more Quarterbacks out than the League would care to admit. ( see Theisman, Montana, Jaworski etc....) They were a no nonsense bunch all business "knock your dick in the dirt" crew. Period. They were merely reflective of their Coaches...attitudes "The TWO Bills". Its a Wrap.

[@ramsfire]

@chris klein Exactly RIGHT. They used to have to EARN EVERY YARD. NOW THE REFEREES are too far in the mix in determining the Outcome of Contests for my liking. Parcells....."instructed" Belichek (as HIS Defensive Coordinator with The Giants) to DISRUPT the Receivers from the Line of Scrimmage and beyond (most notably EVEN AWAY FROM THE BALL) so that they would ALWAYS BE MORE CONCERNED about getting "Hit" than catching the ball. It proved to be a Highly Effective Strategy but as it turns out lead to too many "low scoring games" which The League found troublesome "for Entertainment Purposes". They wanted Higher Scoring. The result is NOW you cant even TOUCH Quarterbacks OR Receivers and THAT along with the "Kickers" faux paux decides the outcomes of games. (In my opinion)

Belichick wasn’t personally disrespecting Mack. He was saying NO ONE will be in the same class as Taylor.

[@neakapla]

When you watched LT, he made it seemed like he was a man playing amongst boys.

[@juliusc961]

When great players talk about a dude like that. You can only imagine how great he really was.

[@davidshaffer4664]

Lt is the goat of linebackers

[@victoriaman117]

"Were talking about Lawrence Taylor now" - Dam right!!!

[@jonasbluntson5864]

LT is in his own class! Just ask them opposing QBs 🤷‍♂️

[@mikebostic9518]

It's amazing how so many people try to compare other players like mack or even watt to LT. It's a total disrespect to him.

[@IknowImNotCrazyYoumightbe]

i grew up watching LT when he came into the league....unless you saw him play, you cannot believe the athletic ability and the sheer dominance LT brought. Even in today's game, he would be the best player on the field

[@TheWonderfuldre]

The great LT!

[@trevorhanks5282]

Lawrence Taylor and Deon sanders are the two best players I've ever seen

[@donkotouc8377]

Jim Brown was pretty good too...

[@r.williamcomm7693]

Love Nick chiming in when 2 men who played are talking.

[@waynerichards8606]

One thing you also have to remember team's feared LT but they also feared Harry,Garry and Carl all 4 intimated teams because you can't concentrate on one player you had to worry about all 4

[@mikebrase5161]

My fave on that team #64 Jim Burt. I loved the 80's where 260lb nose tackles where the norm.

[@peterpellechia5985]

Not right,none of them got double and triple teamed like lt did!!!

[@nysportsfan31]

He’s right. I’d argue that LT is the greatest player ever. Not only defensive player but player in general

[@SLAYERSWINE1]

Die hard Bears fan. When Bears had to play Giants back in Taylor's playing days I used to be nervous watching the game. He was undoubtedly one of the #GOAT defensive players in history of NFL. One of only 2 players to win overall NFL MVP. A pleasure to watch except when he played Da Bears. Then I was not happy usually...

[@donnellpayne529]

Lawrence Taylor is the only most feared linebacker in the NFL! All NFL teams on offence had to change their playbook because of him.

[@strangers7022]

Cris let Mark talk!!!! Damn!!!

[@KegstandOG]

[@barrydiamond5193]

Ron Jaworski once said, he went under center and looked for 56 and didn’t see him. He yelled where’s 56 where’s 56. The center turned around and said on the sideline.

[@dieselwiesel8893]

Tony said it best: Sir Lawrence of the Meadowlands

[@cjrrun]

First game as a pro, blocked an extra point. Never took a play off when on the field.

[@coreysmalls4259]

(my opinion) best LB hands down..monster
