I’m a skins fan and a lavar guy but I think it’s funny how he basically just explained why he shouldn’t be in the hall

He ain't just show potential, he balled out and helped us win games and make playoff runs

[@evillamar372]

I get what Lavar is saying he’s saying he had all the physical traits that set him apart from those guys and he did. He had the physical tools to be the next Lawrence Taylor.

[@ArtSchoolParis]

Different type of LB.

[@Joseph-lz5er]

They didnt utilize him as a pass rusher in Washington. Had they fully did similiar to LT, he would have had a lot of sacks for sure. He was a gifted player like no other. Injuries and playing in Washington derailed his career.

[@evillamar372]

@@Joseph-lz5er yeah he could’ve been if you watched his college highlights. He was a do it all outside linebacker.

[@bigstink9]

Physical tools don't make you a great LBer or football player. I saw Lavar play and saw him out of position on the run and pass too much, trying to freelance and eventually getting benched. Teams didn't gameplan to stop Lavar.
