[@slugcult-10_years_and]

LT didn't even pick up a football or play for his high school team until his senior year. Yet by the end of that year, he had many full scholarships handed to him. THAT is natural talent.

[@JerseyGuys75]

Still, the greatest defensive player of all time with MUCH respect to Ronnie Lott, Joe Greene, Dick Butkus, Mike Singletary, and Reggie White.

[@BLACKJACK-xr6uc]

LT was must watch football on Sundays in NYC in the 80’s! All the bars were packed and all New York football fans could not believe what they were seeing when LT was on the field! So glad I was able to watch the greatest defensive linebacker to ever play the game! LT brought it every game! Only player I would compare him to was Ray Lewis!

[@jaredmarcus1992]

True Definition of a Football "BEAST" !

[@paulmysliborski4832]

Best Defensive player in NFL history. He made other teams have to change their entire playbook on the day they faced him. And Joe Gibbs (Division-rival Redskins HC coach at the time) actually changed his entire Offensive philosophy to deal with Taylor.

[@SillyGoose2024]

He played high on cocaine all the time and failed numerous drug tests and was arrested and jailed a few times and his son might still be in prison? But yeah...he could run around a chase a ball.

[@paulmysliborski4832]

@@SillyGoose2024 All the time? Yes, he was suspended for part of one season for his addiction. But he beat that for the remainder of his career. Your characterizing LT as a cocaine fueled maniac for his entire career is not only misinformed, but laughable. And what does his son have to do with his NFL career?

[@SillyGoose2024]

@@paulmysliborski4832 because we celebrate our football players like their Gods....yeah he was great player...this is not earth shattering news. As a person, no youngster ought to look up to him...plenty of others...and your defense of his character is what is laughable. The guy has gotten in trouble with the law most of his adult life. I remember getting arrested for an underage hooker what like 10 yrs ago.

There will only ever be one LT.

[@paulmysliborski4832]

LT was not only the best Defensive player in NFL history, he was genuinely terrifying to other teams in an era when there was no such thing as "Roughing the Passer". Taylor could take out your starting left tackle, fullback, and QB in one play. Just think about that for a second.........

[@Michael-nx2he]

I don't think anyone before or after has just roamed the field doing it his way like LT .I wonder just how much he was playing within the scheme of the defense or just free styling it.

[@paulmysliborski4832]

@@Michael-nx2he He freestyled a lot. There are vids about where Taylor went rouge on certain plays, and Parcells would tell him “that’s not one of our defensive calls”. To which Taylor told him: “Well, maybe you should put that one in..” Parcells ended up referring to him as “Superman” when he was Head Coach. That tells you something right there.

Not just the greatest defensive NFL player but the greatest NFL player of all time! NO other NFL player has transformed the game like LT did

[@clh2192]

Jim Brown is the greatest of all time. But in the SB era. It's LT and nobody is close. You are speaking 10000% facts when it comes to changing the game. LT transformed how defense AND offense is played. Had to see it to believe it.

Tom Brady. 😊 yessss sirrr

[@barryware7497]

L,T was great. So was Jerry Rice..

[@clh2192]

@@timothy4557 Tom Brady was amazing. But he didn't change the game. Brady would have to be running like Lamar Jackson to be a part of the conversation. Plus he didn't call his own plays and, like Manning and Rodgers, was protected in ways his predecessors were not. Love Brady!

[@clh2192]

@@barryware7497 Jerry Rice played in the WC his whole career. Was catching long handoffs from guys like Joe Montana, Steve Young and Rich Gannon. Lawrence Taylor changed the way offense and defense is played. Hybrid DE/LB, shorter dropbacks, one back offenses, blocking schemes, two-tight end offenses, strip sacks, blind-side tackles... LT, LT, LT, LT, LT, LT, LT. Then there was how he played. He literally covered the whole field-lol. LT was on a whole other level. Nothing like him before or since. Or ever-lol
