Lawrence Taylor was one of the greatest players ever to play the game 11/12/21

I am an old man and I’ve seen many linebackers through the years, but Lawrence Taylor is the hands down,without a doubt best of all time. He was and always will be the best defensive player I’ve ever had the pleasure to see. The Entire Giants defense was phenomenal, but LT stood above them all. 👍🏻💪🏻🇺🇸

"If you don't know what you're doing just rush the quarterback, hell see what happens" beat drops I ascend to another dimension

I grew up Blue. I remember watching LT as a kid and how electrifying he made everything. The guy made football exciting for NY fans from the standstill it had been leading up to him. I started to think of LT as the monster from the Alien movies. His speed, approach and aggressiveness were frightening. If you watch him, from snap he pursues at a constant shallow angle to the field as if he is about to make a tackle and plays that way to point of contact. At no point does he let up or become even remotely vertical. Tough as nails - he went into each and every play like he was going to own it. Both of my sons played primarily D in their pee wee and HS days, and it always exciting whenever they were lucky enough to pull "56" from the jersey pool.

The amount of fumbles he created is insane

A linebacker with WR speed and DT strength!

L.T. invented the strip sack. L.T. was GOD! #56 GOAT and it's not close! As a Giants fan, I'm so happy I got to watch him play! There will NEVER be another L.T 1981, 1982, 1986 Defensive POY 1986 MVP 10 Time All-Pro 2 time Super Bowl Champ! 132.5 sacks (had 9.5 sacks in 1981 but were not considered an official stat until 1982, so he really has 142 career sacks)

LT was the most dominating defensive player i ever saw. Best Giant ever. Best linebacker ever.

Because of LT I loved watching the Giants defense way more then their offense!!

His close in speed was underrated

Lt was intercepting balls and running them back for touchdowns that's why I'd pick him over Reggie White defensively.

That's a tough call. Reggie was a de. Hard to make ints as a de.. But def 2 of the best if not the best at their positions.

Reggie White was great in his own right but LT put the Giants on his back to 2 super bowl victories. Even though Reggie won a super bowl with the Packers, he never could get the Eagles to the promised land, not taking anything away from Reggie's greatness Had RW played linebacker and was dominant as he was a DE, I maybe would've given RW a slight edge but it would still be tough to call.

@@MrMarmarsFilms those eagles teams, and I'm an eagles fan didnt have a whole lot of offense. Good offensive players but not a high scoring one.

Saw almost every home game of his entire career in Giants Stadium. There is nothing like seeing him play live. He was simply the best defensive player I have ever seen, period.

Prime LT was superhuman, seeing a guy that big run and pivot as fast as he could was remarkable.

LT the best player to ever live also nown as my favorite player. the real LT

I really miss Madden calling games with Pat

I had the honor of watching L.T. when I was a kid. He was such a beast he had whole teams draft game plans to contain him. Problem was if you focused solely on him another lineman or linebacker was in the QB face. He was an animal of a linebacker.

Quite simply the best football player I’ve ever seen. Period‼️

I know that this is a highlight reel, but damn that man could play.

L.T.'s bust in canton should've been of him sacking Ron Jaworski. LMAO, he must've done it a good 15-20 times.

Jaws was scared of him, story Eagles in camp goes as follows… jaws always tried to find LT before the snap and he can’t find him… he’s looking around trying to change the play and he can’t, ends up using a T.O. Turns out LT was on the sideline getting a breather. Very next play LT is in and gets a sack on him.😂🤣😂

This is one of the greatest highlights I've ever seen. I'm in awe!!!!!!!!

The Mike Tyson of Football

My dad tells me all the time how electric it was watching LT on Sundays. Every game he made a big play. Couldn’t be prouder to be a new York FOOTBALL Giants fan because of him

Straight up, the best LB I ever saw, no doubt.

Makes me proud as a Giants fan to say we arguably had the greatest singular talent the NFL has ever seen.

I Love listening to John Madden commentate. Classic!

LT is by far the greatest defensive player ever. He would be equally dominating today. The only LB I have seen get to Randall Cunningham at his peak. Amazing to watch

I'd have to say he's the best ever....he changed the game and everyone has been looking for a LT ever since!

A man among boys, a force of nature!

I've been watching Lawrence Taylor since KZread took off over a decade ago and when his highlights are better than any other in NFL history this will remain the greatest defensive player of all time

@6:24 I’ve seen that clip countless times and could never, ever understand what LT was saying. Finally, someone out subtitles. Finally. Thank you so much. I can rest now.

LT was a beast, and I am blessed to have seen him play his whole career!

A real NFL legend!

The original Beast Mode. The dude was a badass! Remember back in the day when defensive players were allowed to actually tackle the quarter back?? Those were the days.

There are a few players who I can say who had absolutely zero fear on the field. LT is at the top of that list. I'm a 49ers diehard fan.

Pleasure to watch him play on Sundays. Dude was a beast!!!
