[@tracishoults5852]

Greatest defensive player of all time.

[@boltnacz7518]

LT was a great team guy and a warrior who loved his teammates and coach.

[@thefrase7884]

Bolt Nacz ......and 15 year old girls......and cocaine.....and....well nevermind

[@jdsoultrn]

It really makes me crack up when Ladanian Tomlinson is referred to as “LT”. There is only 1 LT and he wore number 56 for the New York football GIants!

[@Se0420_]

jdsoultrn i mean. It kinda is the guys initials

[@grahamgreen8283]

He’s LaDizzle Tizzle

[@luccachandler5836]

you prolly dont care but if you're bored like me atm then you can watch all the new series on Instaflixxer. I've been watching with my girlfriend recently =)

[@kaceronan1830]

@Lucca Chandler yea, been using InstaFlixxer for months myself :D

[@sunnyatkar1982]

Cmon bro. Its like Tomlinson goes around saying he's as good as LT!

[@jeffreylebowski3280]

I miss those days of smash mouth football. I was 11 when LT made his debut with Big Blue - it was a thrill to be a Giants fan and watch LT play. Madden & Summerall calling Giants games made it all the more special. Miss those two.

[@stevenpowers5654]

“Which leads me to my next point, don’t do crack.” -LT in The Waterboy.

[@Jiwizard17]

Steven Powers 😂😂😂😂

[@kurtadams3021]

I'm a eagles fan. Born and raised in Philly. But I love LT

[@IdkIdk-hi7ug]

F the eagles

[@noahrivera329]

It's sad to think if LT made these hits in today's game, it would probably be Roughing the Passer or Unnecessary Roughness

[@bird718]

if you want to get technical, if LT played today he would of failed every drug test and been on peppermint suspension. if he did play a few games before getting caught, then yes flags would be flying.

[@bird718]

@Burt Gummer LOL!!!!!!!!! yeah and people believed him because they knew he was all messed up on drugs. he would wake up his teammates at 5-6am and show up at their houses. probably borrowing money so he can get more blow. i still remember his public service announcements at the theater when i was a little kid, he did all those commercials before the movie starts telling people not to do drugs. everytime i saw a new one i knew he got busted.

[@notagrd]

And fine the fuk outta him!

[@jacksonkobrock6171]

LT is GOAT

[@IdkIdk-hi7ug]

He created goat

[@CompletelyRandomAndUnknown]

No. He was fucking high on coke almost every game he played.

[@JL-zb3ql]

Okay HEROIN

[@thescatman5029]

When John Madden calls you, as a rookie, the greatest defensive player ever......!

[@donkotouc8377]

When Parcells says, “He’s my guy”, that means something...

[@daveyboy_]

He's gay ?

[@joelpolk5223]

I'M A SUPER DIE HARD COWBOYS FAN...BUT THIS DUDE WAS JUST SIMPLY UNSTOPPABLE. #Period

[@b.w.8909]

Best football player of all time

[@chinorodriguez5498]

There will never never ever ever be another Lawrence Taylor aka LT truly a great compliment to the NFL God bless

[@alt3523]

I miss FOOTBALL IIke this !!

[@michaelbelfer6513]

Butch Terlizzi As do I my man. Todays game is joke compared to 1980' football. SF, NYG, BEARS, SKINS,. WOW!!!

[@Troy428492]

Today football generation is getting worst.

[@frederickmeyers8965]

Agreed 100%

[@jonroper3712]

Lawrence Taylor is the reason I started being a giants fan such a baddass

[@cmscms123456]

LT was AMAZING, but for me, his most enlightening play was when he broke Joe Theisman's leg, (ending Joe's career) The look, and reaction of LT showed the compassion he also had inside him.

[@TheOlmonroe1]

I remember that Monday night game. Scared the crap out of me.

[@bennearing8328]

IDC what anyone says lawarance Taylor is by far the craziest and the most legendary NFL player ever the man is super human

[@hendry69]

The best defensive player ever. 2nd place is so far away you need a high-powered telescope to see who it is.

[@emm6155]

Best player ever in general

[@WilsonGTS12]

Probably the best defensive player of all-time. Definitely the best Linebacker.

[@shawngregory830]

Man i miss him.could not believe it once i saw him play in person. Gifted beyond.

[@jasmineowen408]

I remember always picking the Giants in tecmo bowl because of LT. I was and still am a huge LT fan.

[@Scarletbull]

“I’m still looking for that next Lawrence Taylor. I haven’t seen that guy”. - Phil Simms Indeed!... Indeed! When I saw LaVar Arrington @ PSU, & the Skins copped him, I thought LA had the skill set to be the next LT. LA at times played like LT but burned out quickly. We will never see anything close to LT again.

[@dontdoittoyoself6786]

Scarletbull I'd say Derrick Thomas was the closest.

[@leekrick4816]

Im a old man now. I watched Football since the greatest game ever played (1960) playoff. LT was the best dominant player at any position to ever come along. I heard when he was in College if there was a disturbance downtown, Police would 1st ask if LT was involved. If so, they stayed in there station house. LT was a bad ass all the way around. That was naturally just him. He was a Hyperbred Alley cat let loose on the Football field.

[@jdrule3518]

LT IS THE BEST WORKERS OF ANY NFL PLAYER EVER

[@dwaynedavis9950]

YOU ARE SIMPLY THE BEST AT IT

[@m.alexanderzagorski3868]

I got misty-eyed watching this most fitting tribute!

[@dme1016]

LT was so good, & made his teammates so much better, it WAS emotional to watch as, a Giant's fan.

[@BigSeanify]

JJ WATT IS NOT ON LT'S CLASS AS DOMINANT DEFENSIVE PLATER.THE GREAT LT WON 2 SB TITLES.CASE CLOSED

[@ejcii3052]

Sean Felder what about Ray lewis

[@boobzac]

LT himself disagrees with you.

[@boobzac]

And LT did NOT win 2 SBs, the New York Giants won 2 SBs. SBs mean NOTHING when looking at individual accomplishments. Does Dan Marino deserve to be discounted as one of the greatest passing QBs of all time because he didn't win a SB? Of course not.

[@ForeverHues]

Buster Nutt who does he think is?

[@AlabamaNationalChampionsOf2024]

Jalen Scott Reggie

[@keithfoster6284]

I love it cause nobody can stop him today

[@rickwpaperworkmakeschildsu4655]

The best ever! If this man would have played Tight End he would have been a Hall of Famer.

[@mets1617]

What would LT be paid today ? Probably would be offered part ownership of the Giants!

[@prissiecuevas1]

He'd be worth about 15M a year plus a piece of the Giants.This guy is and always will be the most dominant force in NFL history.

[@affordablecellular1407]

[@bird718]

he would of gotten nothing, he did an 8ball of coke before the game, during halftime and after the game. thats why he played the way he did. he also made other people pee in his cup to pass his drug tests. everyone knew he was on stuff and nobody did anything.

[@bird718]

@Burt Gummer i thought that was mark gastineau from the jets that was on the juice, that was sooooooo long ago, i was a little kid when all that was happening. good times.....

good luck to you Lt greatest all of all times football fans love you my brother

[@wilsonblauheuer6544]

best football pic I ever saw was a picture (from the rear) of Theismann standing over the Redskins center calling signals, and Theismann and the offense were slightly out of focus, and across the line was LT, in focus, and all you saw was the blue jersey, and the white facemask and Taylor's eyes were in focus and trained on Theismann and you saw the back of Theismann's helmet and he appeared to be looking back at Taylor. It was a great photo and I hope to see that pic again somewhere

[@camrahnredding1175]

The GOAT!

[@jerome5765]

The greatest

[@quincyjoseph1229]

The baddest outside linebacker ever period.

[@rogerthat309]

Awesome!

[@tektoniks_architects]

One of the 3 greatest players I have ever seen. Greatest defender ever.

[@adriannakalas5426]

LT is a great player IDC I'm not a giants fan if he was on crack cocaine or not he brought it every Sunday he played calling Tomlinson LT is a insult to Lawrence Taylor there's only one LT

[@00BillyTorontoBill]

my first impression was ...took 5 yrs to induct him..are they on crack? but I imagine the min wait time is 5 yrs.

[@mrtruthhurts2307]

+stringTheory80 Agree

[@cef8156]

Yeah, but he was a shitty father, husband, friend and essentially an emotionally weak off the field pig.

[@patriciamoriarty3580]

Oh hell yeah.

[@Nick-zs1kx]

@@AJ-og9ms oh my god please go to Coke then play a game of football after 10 minutes your gonna come down and play like crap cause you feel TERRIBLE.......

[@Lehmann108]

I used to drive to the Meadow Lands from CT to watch him play. Untucking believable on almost every play.

[@keefebrown5356]

GOD smashed the mold when he created this Legend ... Then sniffed the remains.

[@willmckibban8882]

the Greatest Defensive Player! Ever!

[@lickitup323]

Guy was just awesome

[@GeorgeVreelandHill]

LT changed the game on both sides of the ball. No one before or since did that. Not on that level.

[@slavaukraine963]

Without my father... LT would've never been the MVP, defensive player of the year and Superbowl MVP in '86. My father was the highest ranking Police officer serving Jackson Ave in Jersey City NJ. In 1986 LT got caught the times buying crack cocaine on Jackson Ave and my father authorized his release all three times

[@robingilmore303]

He was the face of the Giants they're will be no one like him . The man the legend the GOAT.

[@latorvisunderwood1587]

[@miacohen7496]

He is the Best Football Player❤

[@TheGeorgiaMediaGroup]

Best player ever to play.

[@alexandregoncalves6066]

awesome

[@joeblow4938]

The dude was a freak, especially during goal line stances I don't know how many times I remember hearing John Madden say LT makes the stop on the 1 yard line.

[@paultheiii]

Lawrence Taylor is the greatest linebacker in NFL history!

[@geraldkfrazier8667]

Lawrence Taylor was amazing

[@ThePrayinmantiz]

the GREATEST

[@mmcneil777]

LT and the Giants were the one team that consistently gave Joe Montana and the Niners trouble. It was usually a toss up who would win. He was on par with Montana and Rice as the all-time greats of the game. He was without a doubt the greatest defensive player ever.

[@alanmccarthy2285]

an a l-e-g-e-n-d 💓 *when football was real* 🏈

[@natalieps2387]

The greatest athletes are the biggest strongest ones who have lightning quick speed. Lt should not even be in a conversation with anyone else he is that special.

[@ohrhino2185]

My fellow giants fan

[@leodurocher5454]

the Giants really sucked for around 15 years until LT came in 1981...all out sob even as a rookie, best Def player I ever saw. Butkus a close 2nd...leo, patriot fan...I heard he never even lifted weights

[@boobzac]

I disagree. I've been a Giants fan since 63,64 & I saw some rays of sunshine in the 70s. Granted the rain clouds always seemed to roll in but I still say the Giants weren't as bad as history paints them. 1970 was quite a bright year. We even had a shot at the playoffs.

[@boobzac]

And also while the Giants as a whole sucked their defense was the bright spot that kept a lot of us watching every Sunday thru those lean times.

[@TheLuscious]

Butkus wasn’t a close second

[@jayball9390]

Best ever!!!

[@KJ-gr6ho]

Dont judge his mistakes Look at how well he got alone with his teammates some people with his level of talent like to make teammates feel like they are below them look how he connecting with the fans who admired his talent the coaches who kept great jobs off his abilities congrats LT keep fighting in life

[@javierleguizamo9730]

Una verdadera máquina

[@darksided9979]

Damn. This fella was somethin potent. I missed out. Im from a generation too late. But i can certainly see a diff between this and the football i been watching. Half this would be flags now. Yeah. This guy was the best far as i can tell.

[@chuckwood8452]

I still marvel at how damn fast he was, for a guy of that size. Just head and shoulders above the rest.

[@davidharrison9324]

High praise from Carl Banks who was pretty damn fine himself!!!!

[@tracishoults5852]

do more of Lawrence Taylor

[@jjhiggymeme1667]

LT is forever the great

[@craigconley1872]

Best Giant of all time!!

[@raybeez55]

jj watt aint even in lts class no comparison

[@boobzac]

LT himself disagrees with you.

[@bryonwatkins1432]

The only other Linebacker in the same class as LT is the late Derrick Thomas a.k.a. DT!!!! The only differences were LT was meaner and DT got off the line a few milliseconds faster!!!! Both of them were the same in everything else!!!!

[@jukotrial296]

All the GOATS go to Carolina I love to hear that. Us North Carolinians are just as proud as someone from New York, California,Texas, or Florida we’re just overlooked lol

I wish I could have seen his whole career

[@captainh3831]

Harry Carson is such a gentleman, so well spoken. It doesn't seem to go with his football persona.

[@rocklover-]

More sacks than any other linebacker ever. One of two defensive players ever named league mvp, and the only linebacker to be so named. Unequivocally the best linebacker ever.

[@xaviervega468]

Kevin Greene has more career sacks. But yes, LT is the greatest linebacker of all-time. Greatest defensive player really.

[@Erinxh]

LOL 2:00 That sandwich, rip that RB.

[@joecavanagh3793]

GOAT AF. PERIOD

[@scipioafricanus3324]

I really miss this era of football, I always feel like I am witnessing the decline of the sport when I watch it now.

[@lhart99]

Giants' Stadium, the house that LT built!

[@sactownsteelers6748]

Greatest Defensive player ever in the NFL

[@MrTitanic222]

LT was unmatched on the gridiron. But it would have been fascinating to match Ed Coan as a blocking back on LT . Coan at just 218 pounds - was the first powerlifter to exceed 2,400 pounds on three combined lifts. He could deadlift almost 1,000 pounds, squat 1,000 pounds, and bench press almost 600 pounds. Obviously LT was a beast who ran like a gazelle, but I think Coan, who was probably twice as strong, may have stopped him cold.

[@greensmithfootball10]

When they added Banks and Johnson to the linebacker corps they got even better

[@stevet1674]

Brady is lucky to played in this era...80's or 90's Era you have to be crazy to played QB position

[@christophers.3518]

THE REAL BEAST MODE LT

[@illuminatedcrosshairs7865]

Christopher S. Damn right! The original and REAL BEAST MODE!

[@michaelbelfer1069]

Lawrence came out of college as a stand up defensive end in the old Oklahoma 5-2-4 originally started by Bud Wilkinson. Actually it was similar to the 3-4.

All this talk of JJ and Khalil is coming from those who didnt watch LT play. If they had, they wouldnt bring anyone else up, they would know better.

[@mmcneil777]

He was like Maximus out there...You watch him and you get a rush...

[@TheJMSESQ]

Are you not entertained?

[@9Ballr]

Can you imagine if LT had played for the '85 Bears? That defense would have been criminal.

[@fanfriendlyful]

all do respect to many nfl players my picks would be L-T,barry sanders,john elway,bo jackson,brady there so hard to contain or stop .

[@christopherdejarnett2152]

Much like Michael Vick, and Bo Jackson, it seemed like it was pure athleticism. However, they were actually faster than the game, but they understood the game as scholars. They read and reacted. It looked like just being an awesome athlete. But they were scholars in their craft. Just smarter, faster, and better, as a result of their gifts and game IQ.

[@magovenor]

Savage!
