Simply known to teammates and fans as LT Lawrence Taylor entered the NFL in the
1981 no 1 draft picked 2 overall pick and changed the game of Football by himself and
as a defensive player and the game had to adjust to LT at 6 "3 and Playing weight of 237 to 247 lbs he had unmatched Athletic ability that was almost Un human as one redskin lineman stated No human 6"3 and 237 Lbs is supposed to run a 4.5 40 and that is just taylor did . Taylor himself said When i came into the league there was Right Side there was no blind side until I started knocking peoples heads off ! He kept offensive coaches
and the quarterbacks and head coaches sleepless no one man could block him so they put two on him and when that didnt work three and he still got it done in 184 games as
a new york giant he TOTALED 132 sacks this is by a linebacker .
His amazing Speed and size and superhuman strength made rag dolls of QBs and offensive lineman he use that arm like a club knocking balls loose from runners countless times he run down speedy NFL running backs from behind and he started from the other side of the field I believe hes One of the best pure Linebackers ever to play .
I would put him on and hes on the same shelf as dick butkus in my book two different styles of play but truly the BEST two linebackers i ever saw in 62 years on the planet
