[@steelersteve37]

I don’t feel enough people talk about this man he was phenomenal

[@ckobo84]

I thought he was a sack machine, but the stats don't back that up. Averaged about 5 sacks a season, and I thought he was good

[@justinloughner9777]

Lloyd was an animal..kirkland was a beast , woodson and Lake the snipers , and greene was lloyds long lost step brother...rip kevin greene

[@paleo704]

The famous 95 Steel curtain

[@williamwhalen7764]

Most underrated LB ever!

[@Fireyninjadog]

HALL OF FAMER

[@charlieyellowstone8248]

Greg Lloyd is one of my favorite Steelers of all-time! 👍

[@devinrivers5808]

It’s a shame that this dude isn’t in the Hall of Fame

[@ArksonAltenhofen]

H'ell be eventually

[@BillBrent]

Kevin Greene, Rod Woodson and this guy in particular are what made me a lifelong Steelers fans in the early 90's.

[@ab3040]

You can't beat Steelers linebackers. We almost always been at the top or near the top of the league since the early 70's

[@ab3040]

Like I remember when his and Kevin Greene played between 93 and 95. Now THAT was a dynamic duo

[@landrelljones5708]

real talk

[@abhiramyadagiri4649]

Now you can tho lmao. Our linebackers now besides TJ are a disgrace

[@alexcorrea4828]

We? You mean them

[@313Martin]

No lie

[@mpuchar5003]

Very underrated olb. One of the greats. It's a shame you never see him in any of these nfl films all-time lists.

[@joeknowscryptos5339]

The amount of game changing plays he made was amazing. I counted 13 force fumbles in these 3 minute clips alone! He made QB's rush throws, running back fall down instead of fight for extra yards, such an intimidating player! My favorite Steeler!

[@HD4lyfe]

Best defense we've had since the Steel Curtain days. Blitzburgh! Lloyd, Greene, Kirkland, Woodson just off the top of my head.

[@richiesacolic436]

I remember that

[@luisd8917]

Let me complete that defense,Carnell Lake.

[@RawDogJenkins]

Chad Brown brought that heat as well. Awesome D. Scary D

[@Price70]

All of which was screwed up by Rod's season ending knee injury on opening day 1995. But I will say the 08 D with Troy Polamalu, Lawrence Timmons, Ike Taylor, James Farrior, James Harrison and Lamar Woodley was probably the best for 1 season since the 70s

[@scottprince2912]

@@Price70 dude you took the words out of my brain,👍👍

[@albertmunio7654]

Greg Lloyd is one of my favorite Steelers because played the game the way it's supposed to be played. I met him once at a community fund raising event and saw him with his 4 year old daughter. She was performing a dance routine on stage and he was off curtain encouraging her through her routine by doing every step as well. Dude was so fast, strong, and focused on the field that every opposing offense had to worry about him but was so crazy about that little girl! Greg Lloyd was one of the greatest ever!

[@paulp8937]

One of my most favorite Steelers of all time and could've easily fit in with the Steeler defenses of the '70's.

[@amyhuggins9920]

ABSOFREAKINGLUTELY!

[@robertrohde4579]

Just plain nasty! I enjoyed watching LLoyd! Greg should have had a ring or two but they didn't have a quarterback during his career!

[@marlonjones7997]

Biggest Mistake never drafting Marino! With that defense atlest 3 or 4 SBs.PERIOD

[@robertrohde4579]

@@marlonjones7997 Gabriel Rivera would have been one of the most dominant defensive players in the NFL if not for the accident! With Marino sitting there it still should have been the pick though!

[@jeffsmart9482]

I'm second. Greg not only continued the STEELERS tradition of great Linebackers, he raised the bar on what playing LB for Steelers means! And we havent had that for sometime now. Please go find another Greg Lloyd!!!

[@zacmrtn4571]

Jeff Smart Shazier was Essentially gonna be Tom Brady of the defense smh

[@UnkownSoldier100]

Jeff Smart TJ Watt right now is looking he's the next great linebacker. We'll have to see his play this next season first of course, but it's not like we don't have a guy.

[@jeffsmart9482]

@@UnkownSoldier100 i agree about TJ. Really think he is going to be GREAT!

[@thomasc.5219]

My opinion is Lloyd is only behind Lambert. It's a shame we couldnt get him a ring. I think the list for best LBS is 1. Jack Lambert 2. Greg Lloyd 3. Jack Ham 4. James Harrison 5. James Farrior 6. Joey Porter 7. Kevin Greene 8. Jason Gildon 9. Levon Kirkland 10. Earl Holmes 11. Larry Foote 12. Clark Haggans (both Foote and Haggans werent flashy but always reliable and consistent as hell And heres two guys who should have been great but never reached full potential. Lamar Woodley Kendrell Bell This is my opinion. And really throughout the Steelers history they were always able to produce quality LB play from most of the players who played for them. Especially the Lebou/Cowher era.

[@jesse2214]

@@thomasc.5219 Chad brown didn't make the cut?

[@EXTRABLK]

Was my first jersey #95 ..couldn't tell me shit when I had the jersey on 👀

[@richiesacolic436]

He was a BEAST 💪

[@chrisd913]

For those who don't remember, Lloyd's career started a little bit late because of a knee injury. Between 1990 - 1995 he was the best defensive player in the league. Often drawing serious comparisons to L.T. He was robbed of the defensive MVP in '94 because the media was in love with Dion Sanders that year and the fact that Woodson won it the year before didn't help either. He'll never make the hall of fame. He just doesn't have the gawdy sack totals, but for 5 years was truly one of the greatest defensive players of all time.

[@willardlockejr2965]

@chrisd913 And those five years, he was a beast in the Blitzburgh linebacking unit with Chad Brown, Levon Kirkland and the late, great Kevin Greene. #avoidlloyd95

[@chrisd913]

@willardlockejr2965 He should be in the HOF. Especially now after watching Zach Thomas go in. Thomas wasn't half the player Lloyd was,in the same era for that matter. It's a slap in the face to anyone who watched at that time.

[@willardlockejr2965]

@@chrisd913 I still don't how in the hell Zach Thomas got in the HOF and Greg Lloyd is still waiting. Lloyd was just an intimidating force in the 90's and opposing players feared him. I still remember watching him play at Division II Fort Valley St. (Ga) College and he was a beast back then. And when the Steelers drafted him in '87, I was so excited. Even when he was wired up (for NFL Films), he was all business and looking to punish anybody who had the ball.

[@naturaloxx9606]

Before Harrison it was Porter then Lloyd list of most intimidating linebackers , Steelers top that list overall all-time

[@rodneyflowers8361]

Man I remember watching this dude play straight nightmare coming off the edge and the hits were vicious! Greg Lloyd was like 225?!? I think?? Damn we could sho use him 2019 season lol

[@charlieyellowstone8248]

Yeah, he wasn't that much, about 225, but he could bench press 470 pounds! 💪

[@robysuscosas]

He was part of my favorite linebacking corps of all time. They had as much intensity and talent as the 70's unit.

[@mpuchar5003]

No they didn't lol. But we had a very solid lb group in the 90s. With nickerson brown greene gildon Kirkland and greg lloyd etc. Only one hall of Famer in the group. That 70s squad of linebackers were all first ballot hof'ers

[@joshpitts7256]

Hold up on that Car Wise Gentelman...

[@frankdelcampo1383]

This dude!!!! What a heck of a player he was! He was the catalyst in the "BLITZBURGH DEFENSE" for years! It all began and ended with him! When he got going, it seemed like he motivated the rest of the defense! As he got aggressive, so did the rest of the cast! When he got enraged, well it only made that "NASTY BUNCH OF DUDES" that much more nasty too! With Kevin Greene on one end and he on the other tell me, during the 90's who was better? not really anyone else you could compare them too! The rest of that D was tough as well! Greg will always go down as one of my favorite Steelers of all time! Simply because he gave it 100% all the time and Bill Cowher always managed to find ways to get more of him! Dude was a stud!!!

[@joev4739]

Loved watching Greg play. Steeler fans have been fortunate over the last 40+ years to have guys like Ham, Lambert, Lloyd, Porter, Greene, Harrison, Watt, among many others.

[@justadude5217]

Greg Lloyd rushed the passer, stopped the run, and could cover. What more could you ask from a linebacker?

[@joeheid2776]

Come cook for me at the tailgate before the game?

[@marknethercutt3381]

Greg Lloyd should definitely be in the NFL Hall of Fame

[@rattlehead54321]

I swear to God that dude sounded like a military drill sergeant. But yeah Greg Lloyd should be in the hall of fame.

[@thomwatson4263]

My first jersey I bought in the 90s, was a Greg Lloyd. I still have it.

[@nickp8373]

Loved this guy. Thanks for the memories Greg

Got to meet Greg a couple years ago while I was working. A really cool dude and wonderful spirit to be around talking Steeler football

I still remember that freak achilles injury that ended his career. Damn shame. He had so much more to give.

[@curtisjones1912]

When they would actually let you tackle hard.

[@Maal7432]

Exactly. I miss it.

[@PsychoholicSlag]

From a Football Team fan....Greg Loyd is one of the scariest LBs ever

[@infidel24]

Now imagine what coach Cowher could have done if he had a hof QB line Ben for his entire coaching career. He would have probably won 4 sb's in his short career.

[@jenniferkwiek4321]

A pleasure meeting you today Mr. LlOYD. Lonne and Jennifer.

[@packersauburneric3625]

Scared people

[@brypete]

It should be a felony for this man to still not be in the hall of fame...not only that but they probably won't put him on the nfls top 100 defensive team...avoid Lloyd gets no respect and he was a nightmare for offenses..

[@ramman997]

He is the reason I'm a die hard Steelers fan to this day

[@hemi426able]

Devastating injuries ended his career to soon. Would of definitely made the HOF. Steeler fans know what a special player he was

[@joemckim1183]

Greg Lloyd and Kevin Greene were the best tandem of Outside LBs in the 3-4 defense in NFL history.

[@XanonymousX5150]

1 of the best. That guy started me as a life long Steelers fan. Steelers 4 life!!!!!

[@willruelas3529]

I wasn't commenting for my disposition

[@MattePurple1]

Kirkland next!

[@winstonmorales3137]

One of the Best

[@bigtay522]

He could line up anywhere on the front seven.

[@breezecardenas3941]

Boy, I sure do miss seeing that guy play! And I'm not even a Steelers fan!

[@willardlockejr2965]

Greg Lloyd brought the pain to opposing players during the Blitzburgh Years in the 90's.

[@daedalus1]

Hard to believe the absolute KNOCKOUT of Brett Farve was not in the highlights. Lloyd blitzed off the right side and hit Farve so hart it sent him airborne for about 2 yards. It was sheer Stiller beauty.

[@martyt19able]

THE hit I was looking for the whole video! Lloyd was penalized for the hit, but Favre himself said he didn't think it was a bad hit!

[@pureheathen1720]

Shame he isn't in the HOF. Lloyd was an absolute monster.

[@elsanto8879]

Probably my all time favorite Steeler. I was sad for damn near a week when Pit released him in ‘98. I would still rock his jersey today

[@bane1240]

Love Greg Lloyd! Wish the D today had that nastiness about them.

[@Ationgtw]

Favorite Steeler of all time

[@hughmungus8320]

I met him in person and got his autograph on a mini helmet! Awesome dude!

[@charlieyellowstone8248]

I think the linebacker group of the late 80s through the 90s was the best bunch of linebackers the Steelers ever had and that's saying a lot.

[@webbgems67]

The hit he put on farve was Mack truck 🚚 like 💪🏾

Wasn’t around for 70’s Steelers, but Mr. Lloyd would’ve fit right in.

[@vvcrazy_horsevv4628]

And that’s why they call him The King Of Pain the heart of a lion my favorite Steeler all-time

[@44mag39]

The next best thing to LT. And that’s saying a lot. Maybe as good , because he was doing the same things as LT. Just didn’t get the spot light. And I’m an LT fan. But Greg was surrounded by other good linebackers that may have taken the light off him some , but dang he was a beast. Played the game the way it was meant to be played.

[@Price70]

The one Steeler I wish had a ring who doesn't. Glad at least he as an AFC Championship ring that's more than a lot of great players have.

[@jean-francoispilote5751]

One play missing: 1995 pre-season vs Packers, when he almost killed Brett Favre....

[@atrain818]

Missing the aftermath of a play vs the cowboys, where he shoved a player (thjnk it was alvin harper) and told him to get out of his (Woodson's) face. Hilarious. Think it was from 1994
