Forgotten Badasses: Greg Lloyd

[@OmniTron1000]

I remember when I was a kid, I used to have a Lloyd jersey and I used to wear it when ever I needed to feel awesome.

[@adown326]

Bro NFL 95 for sega.....lloyd was a beast!

[@willardlockejr2965]

Greg Lloyd played for the Steelers from 1988 to 1997. He was a member of the "Blitzburgh" linebacking unit in the 90's.

[@brypete]

Greg Lloyd needs to be in the hall of fame period...

[@Troy428492]

I wish.

[@zagman1970]

Lloyd ranks among the greatest defensive players in Steeler history and one of the best in the league during that period of time. Watching those old highlights brings me back to those great days.

[@Andy-bu2oc]

Greg Lloyd was a great Linebacker. I loved to watch him and Kevin Green smash the quarterback.

[@michaeljones-um8sn]

Roger Goodell would kick him out of the league if he played today LOL

[@D_day1969]

"I wasn't hired for my disposition." Lloyd was just too bad ass a lot of new fans don't know who he is only the true fans remember this badass thanks for the clip

[@kenrosaidso8466]

Still the most intimadating defensive player i have ever watch play for the steelers. The new steeler fans may think they no what an intimadating player is for a steelers d but the closest one since is James harrison and even he doesnt compare to The lloyd.

[@eagle2294]

I showed this video to some of my students, they were impressed, they had never heard of him. I wonder how much longer and better he would have been without the injuries. I loved the "I wasn't hired for my disposition" shirt.

[@emm28bee]

Saw a list of the most intimidating football players of all time on Bleacher Report a while back and Lloyd wasn't on the list. No way you can do that list and not put Lloyd on it.

[@TracyAllen]

My my my... He was da bomb! That music playing... Whew! I've goosebumps watching this! Steelers fan for life baby!

[@ronniewarner1931]

that was incredible

[@nikoshayes1256]

You give me goosebumps 😂😍

[@glenstanislawski1159]

Will never be another Greg Lloyd they broke the mold when they made him

[@joemeurer7895]

Not forgotten by any means. I was growing up when he played and he is the reason I still love defense today. He brought is every play and the other team had to game plan around him. I know somewhere there is a retired NFL player that cringes when he hear the name Lloyd and starts looking over his shoulder.

[@mattmiller7049]

I remember Jim Harbaugh saying back in his playing days that he wasn't afraid of anyone in the NFL.....just Greg Lloyd.

[@acwaiter]

2:10 Lloyd sticking it to Means....That Chargers team went to the S.B. and got destroyed by SanFran, Chargers beat Pittsburgh in the AFC championship game, most heart-breaking lost in the 90s for me.

[@DrudgeryInc]

Not forgotten at all. Lloyd is still regarded in the annals of Pittsburgh sports lore. One of my favorite Steelers of all time.

[@627jace627]

I was a kid during the Steel Curtain era, so I've seen all the Steeler greats play in my lifetime. Greg Lloyd is still my all-time favorite player.

[@brypete]

We got to find a way to get Mr Lloyd into the hall of fame..

[@tylerfletcher1291]

I live in Destin,Fl.Kevin Greene also resides here,met him on numerous occasions,class act,always takes time to talk and reminisce and when speaking with him Lloyd always comes up."Meet me at the Quarterback!",probably the two reasons I became a part of steelers nation as a young lad.

[@randyrando8420]

Greg Lloyd a monster that can move!

[@brypete]

They should play this on the big screen to get the defense amped up late...I like renegade but this footage would take it to a new level...

[@thepopularjockkiller]

Great video! Thanks for posting! I have NO IDEA HOW Greg Lloyd has been forgotten because he was one of the most dominate players I have EVER seen. Somehow only people who love defense still talk about him. SMH What a talented player.

[@MrBeyondbelief]

He said back in 1995 he was going to knock Dan Marino into next week, and then HE went out and DID hit Marino hard!! Marino was the premodonna before Brady. Marino objected to the hit but it was legal. What I wouldn't do to see Greg Lloyd KNOCK TOM BRADY into a wheelchair!!!

[@billc2850]

he was one of the greatest. looking for when he crushed favre in the pre season one year... 1995 I think

[@Lvnvj]

Man me too. Are you talking about the hit where he hit Favre and he knocked him like 4 feet back? I was 10 years old at the time but I can remember seeing it.

[@billc2850]

yeah it was in a preseason game

[@412xtaint]

He got fined for that hit on favre

[@818rdk]

Bill C I can't find that anywhere. Brett said it was the hardest he was ever hit

[@vr4fan4life]

Was a great hit! Loved it in pre-season. Those days are gone. 😌

[@jameswilliams2085]

My favorite Steelers linebacker of all-time. AVOID LLOYD WAS THE TRUTH!!! ❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️

[@aaronrolston7543]

I love Greg Lloyd ! Very special player and person. Thank God he played for the Steelers !!!

[@TheMizFiz09]

Imagine if Greg Lloyd and James Harrison played next to each other at OLB. This duo would demolish everything that's standing.

[@ethankas11]

And Joey porter

[@MCRAIDER40]

+Sleepy Panda How dare you forget that Lloyd played opposite Kevin Greene

[@ThoughtfulThug]

+Ethan The Cheesey Gamer (EthanTheCheeseyGamer) Joey Porter had Jason Gildon!

[@rich4446]

Harrison had lamar woodley

[@TheMizFiz09]

Richie Meintel Woodley was no Greg Llyod though and ended up getting fat and out of shape.

[@xaviervega468]

My favorite linebacker of the 90's This dude was a monster.

[@dougfa3515]

Definitely one of my favorite Steeler players of all time.

[@TheSteelers4190]

Batman music + Steelers football = goosebumps haha

[@johnnybooker]

You ain't lying, my friend.

[@williamwallace1307]

Thanks for posting. Greg Lloyd the Man!

[@LanceCreed]

My favorite player. Some of my favorite Lloyd clips are actually the ones where people talk about how afraid of him they were. I remember one where a guy from NFL films says that he feels bad for anyone who get hit by Greg Lloyd.

[@boyzbad1978]

Mine too....damn it was fun watching him play back in the day!

[@iraph]

Love these videos, such a cool sport, I wish we had this in Australia

[@Grandizer8989]

I am not a Steeler fan but I went to school in Pitt. during his heyday and loved watching him. During the offseason he and some other Steelers came to my school for a charity bball game and he played so hard and competitively that you would think it was a Super Bowl. Much Respect.

[@mathewsnyder97]

Not forgotten. Never. My favorite Steeler of all time, no contest for me.

[@Chazaq]

Damn good vision @ 1:57. Beast!

[@SsaavV212]

Absolute Beast.

[@jontrelfa8742]

I wanted that to last for another hour. That was awesome! Go Steelers!

[@kitagilbert3669]

i miss this D I HOPE WE CAN GET IT RT

[@bobbyraejohnson]

Greg Lloyd just looks phenomenal best plays if a pass rusher I have seen

[@nickdenardo6479]

could never forget Lloyd. have both home and away jerseys for #95

[@lackofabetter]

Great video, Brings back a lot of childhood memories. AVOID THE LLOYD!

[@heidiholdridge]

Never Ever forgotten! He belongs in the HOF.

[@Bmcallister41]

Dude these videos are nasty! You gotta make more.

[@CRXPhil]

I haven't forgotten him

[@heidiholdridge]

Never forgotten- love Greg Lloyd and Kevin Greene

[@steelpower75]

Hall of Famer if I've ever saw one. Game changer. Dominator.

[@jamesgoudreau1940]

He and players like him are what I miss most about the current NFL and their flag first rules.

[@rod426]

He's NOT forgotten!!

[@lynyrdskynyrd9742]

Great video thanks for posting.

[@nicktsambassis8913]

Agree with above; I miss him to this day.

[@larrycrawford1978]

Love it,my boy was great

[@ericbrork]

Dang, great video! Thanks!

[@Wallriss]

Forgotten? I still occasionally wear his jersey on game day! Most recently with the great goal line stands against Detroit.

[@EXTRABLK]

That was my favorite Steelers Jersey I ever owned

[@courtneyhart2204]

Greg played football in college for the same school I played at, Fort Valley State University! This school has a history of having one of the most dominating defenses in D2 and has sent some of the best to the NFL, Tyrone Poole (Patriots), Eddie “The Hitman” Anderson (Raiders), Peppi Zellner (Cowboys) and Nick Harper (Colts). But Lloyd definitely was the baddest and the nastiest on the field!

[@jeffblydenburgh5938]

One of my favorites and I wear his jersey the most out of all of my Steelers jerseys. And I own 8

[@hunter-zs2zc]

my favorite steeler of all time

[@KrashGT]

How this guy isn't in the hall of fame baffles me.

[@zyrover]

Greg Lloyd was indeed a beast! Out of Fort Valley State University!!!

[@georgecoull1883]

He's not forgotten

[@jamesball1079]

these videos are pretty awesome

[@steeleru7burgh903]

Loved him🙌

[@lancearp7389]

He isn’t forgotten in Steelers land. My all time favorite

[@ghostmost2614]

Met him at a TKD tourney a few years back. 🤘

[@timothymorgan2150]

Pure Gold

[@pablocunningham2744]

He's forgotten by me or any othet legit football fan. He's one of the best Steeler LB's of all time. Lambert, Ham, Russel, Green, Gildon, Brown, Kirkland, Holmes, Emmons, Harrison, Bell, Porter. Some great players. Lloyd was easily the most undersized, but he was also the biggest hitter. Could rush passer with the best of them. But GREAT in coverage. Underrated player

[@PushSaharaX]

A guy who if he played in todays game Goodell would try and kick him out for any little thing. Hall of fame sooner or later,,,

[@bruceleeroy8302]

Harrison, Lloyd, Ham, Lambert, Woodson, Polamalu, Greene, Blount, Hampton, imagine that! They wouldn't give up a single yard!

[@mrkackerwacker]

WORD. TOO MUCH SIZE AND SPEED EVERYWHERE ON THAT D.

[@aceboogie3538]

dont forget Gildon

[@armandjojoonthatbeat5446]

It's sad that they retired because bettis, Lloyd, polomalu, Greene and more, steelers would have been unstoppable, probably every team would have someone injured every game

[@ethankas11]

Bruce Leeroy joey porter

[@RotiPani75]

@@aceboogie3538 once gildon got paid he spent most of his time playing Patty cake and taking falls

[@mikeansley5306]

Great video!

[@edwardrvegasr3905]

Met him in Latrobe.. He's as mean as they come.. Everything I'd hoped he would be.. Bad ass video

[@Revbone450]

Greg Lloyd, Kevin Greene and Levon Kirkland in one backfield was basically a cheat code.

[@novakruss510]

My favorite player on D

[@thesentinel5523]

A travesty that he isn't remembered by NFL films. They put out A Football Life for Kevin Green and they need to do one for Gregg Lloyd.

[@brypete]

it's a down right crime for this man not being in the hall of fame already.

[@emm28bee]

Greg was the man!!!

[@theCheswickStick]

goosebumps.

[@brianlippert4087]

I'm not diminishing Lloyd at all, he's one of my all time favs, but in all fairness...this sound track would make me taking the trash out the curb seem incredible.

[@192OOIDJJ3]

Fuckin Aggressive Player Right There.

[@logantruett7563]

Straight monster on my Defense in Draft Champions

[@dannyc.9161]

Congrats to this man for getting into the Steelers Hall of Honor

[@ibwarloc]

Definitely should be in the HOF

[@woodyhayes7402]

Don’t forget Levon Kirkland

[@ironman4122]

Was going to hit the like but I’ll leave it at 995!🖤💛🏈🤟✌️

[@AdmKadmon]

Wilbur Marshall was another.

[@banklikefrankwhite1]

Agree with the first part of your comment. Unfortunately, I can't agree with the second. I personally think he belongs, I just don't think he'll get in...politics, really.

[@teamswag6071]

what a badass

[@kurtjanicki7325]

Dude was a Master Ninja in pads and cleats ...

[@gdub454]

very cool @ 1:26 "Walk yo ass out here and get fuckin embarrassed"..then segways to Hans Zimmer musical score...

[@casehoefgen138]

Many a man felt the pain when Lloyd locked on to them.

[@impala666]

The Black Ninja. Intimidation personified. That Nnja slap just destroyed QBs and any player with the ball. Total BadAss. Probably a HoFer if injury didn't end his career prematurely.

[@brucedavis8147]

I remember NFL films did a show on him and he was talking about growing up poor with no parents to see him play and when there was a kid on the other team whose parents came and cheered for their kid Greg would make sure he punished them specifically "just to show your kid ain't shit" lol

[@hatershit2848]

Best ever

[@anonymousbigshot1775]

anyone remember the "The load in this Quarterback's Pants brought to you by greg lloyd" commercial. I think it was Nike. I think it was a Cardinal Quarterback (possibly buerlien). I remember seeing it once or twice but haven't been able to find it. Greg Lloyd was / is KING of the badasses.

[@ibwarloc]

Belongs in the HOF period

[@KTF0]

My mom's favorite player. I remember when he sandblasted Drew Bledsoe back when it was legal to hit QBs hard.

[@iraph]

ah I'm pretty sure, I can get a hold of being able to watch it, thanks anyway ;)

[@harrymiram5562]

Garan-Damn-Teed those that got HIT by #95 Will Not soon Forget him!

[@herbyoung2767]

He scared me as a kid.

[@greensmithfootball10]

He's one of those guys who hates everybody on the opposing teams, Greg Lloyd played football like he was fighting.

[@gottiaristo3088]

Every time they do an all time best pass rushers Lloyd doesn't even get honorable mention meanwhile when he was healthy he was the best to ever do it.

[@brettfavreify]

This is a highlight reel of 15-yard penalties in today's NFL.
