If you are to young to remember the 80's late winter, CBS station, the NFC East football, Philly with Reggie White, and Randall Cunningham, or Dallas with Randy White and Too Tall Jones, the Giants with LT and Banks, or Redskins with Mann an Manley, with Madden and Summerall calling the game, it didn't get any better than that

Without a doubt the greatest defensive player of all time. Maybe best period. He was a force of nature and there won't ever be another like him. Hell..being like that monstrous..intimidating..genius is illegal now.

To be named Defensive Player of the Year as a Rookie, enough said.

He was the greatest football player i have ever seen

I live in PA and every time I hear some older dude tell me Jack Ham was the greatest OL in history I just look at them, pause, and with derision in my voice I say two words - LAWRENCE TAYLOR. No disrespect to Mr Ham but LT was a whole level above him.

I believe L.T was greatest LB of all time any era. Also one of the best defensive player ever as well.

"It's a confidence born of demonstrated ability." Perfectly said, Coach.

Hands down the best ever, he changed the game the way it's played today...

My favorite player of all time. LT was a phenominal player

GOD BLESSED GIANTS FANS WITH GIVING US LAWRENCE TAYLOR ( LT). HE ENRICHED THE LIVES OF THOUSANDS MAYBE MILLIONS OF FANS WITH HIS PLAY! I DOUBT IF THERE'LL EVER BE ANOTHER LT. ALL I CAN SAY 4 MYSELF AND 4 MILLIONS IS SAY THANK U LAWRENCE . GODBLESS U MAN !

Wish I had been old enough to watch him play what a dominant player

Think about this. LT retired almost 30 years ago. Today’s players are bigger, stronger, faster, and generally more athletic than those who played 40 years ago. He is one of the few players from his era who could suit up against today’s NFL rosters and still be the best player at his position. He was so far ahead of the curve during his prime.

Cowboys fan forever but LT was is and always will be the greatest NFL player I’ve ever seen. Completely unstoppable he had no weaknesses as a player. Changed the NFL game offensive and defensive philosophies. The first Parcells guy

Pure inspiration is Lawrence Taylor. We love you LT and thank you for what you gave and may our Lord give to you all glory and his infinite blessings.

If I started an NFL team and could pick any player from any era, it’s LT first overall...no question

This was the best football player in league history!!

"Son, Y'all gonna have to do better than this." ~ L.T. One of the best sports quotes ever.

LT was a total masterpiece of an athlete, the finest athletics artist ever, a lion, a shark, a pit bull, a Shaka Zulu with an iron determination, unstoppable will /talent, total focus & built like a powerful angel with a physique sculptures can only dream of

I think he is not only the greatest defensive player of all-time, but the greatest player of all time.

The greatest defensive player All time, this coming from a Redskin fan LT❤

L.T. Was the greatest football player of ALL TIME! Hands down!

I consider myself blessed to have been a Giants fan in Brooklyn, New York in the 1980's. I was watching draft night when Lawrence Taylor was drafted by my team, the Giants. At that time the team was the laughingstock of the league. I was actually in front of my television set on that fateful afternoon when Joe Pisarcik, sorry excuse for a qb, commited what would forever be termed the fumble. Instead of kneeling with the lead and the ball with seconds left in the game. giants decide to hand the ball off, the rest is history. QB fumbled the ball, Herman Edwards, who was the DB on the Philadelphia Eagles at the time, scooped the ball up and ran untouched into the end zone with no time left on the clock to win the game. I was in shock. I could not even finish eating my sunday dinner. I did not even go to school for two days, I was so depressed. That is why I love LT: he singlehandedly changed the culture of the team, the city, my neighborhood. We were no longer the joke of the league.I feel so honored to have watched him on CBS (channel 2 in NY) and videotape almost every game the giants played from 1983-to the day he retired. I still have all of the videocassettes from that era. I will not play them tho, for fear that they will pop, or the coating will come off. I just take them out and look at them from time to time and reminisce. What memories!! I saw it all!!

So dominant with so much class. He didn’t try to KILL the opponent. He was an amazing athlete and football player that just dominated the line of scrimmage for a decade.

When LT hit people from any angle they contort into awkward and painful positions. He was a savage!

The greatest football player of all time

I remember watching LT going up against Joe Jacoby of the Redskins, Joe was one of the greatest Left Tackles ever. One year Joe only gave up a total of 5 sacks in one year. All 5 of them were given up to LT. That in a nutshell tells you what a dominant force he was, LT is the GOAT and there will never be another like him.

No matter what transpired in his personal life…as far as a line backer in football ..probably the greatest…he innovated changes the way offenses played that’s special..🤙🏻🤙🏻

Lawrence taylor the type of dude to rob back the robber that tried to rob him.

GREAT tribute & compilation!🌟🏈☝️👏👏👏... Folks my age range, 45 & older, know there was & is ONLY ONE L.T.~ forget a running back. An unforgettable force, game-changer & talent. Fortunate & privileged to have watched him play & dominate!

One of the most complete videos about LT. Thanks, dude........ Can rewatch it forever.....

LT did everything.....tackled, intercepted, played pass D, rushed the QB, just a straight terror.

Undisputably!!! GOAT DEFENSIVELY! LAWRENCE TAYLOR

To say that LT played with passion is an understatement...LT played with a spirit that will never be equaled in any sport. He was impervious to pain therefore in his mind invincible...he could make anything happen at any time...and thus he lived that way off the field as well. LT was non stop both on & off the field so be it!! He loved the game and the city (NYC) in which he played, he loved his teammates and he also and most of all loved winning what more can you say. Thank you for the memories LT and all the the inspiration I get from you on film to this day as well. Going forward stay healthy and God bless you.

Most feared man in the NFL.

Greatest defensive player ever. Might be the nfls greatest player ever regardless of position.

Taylor is a great among greats because he made the biggest plays at the most crucial moments. Just amazing how an outside LB could get to the only spot on an entire football field where the play to change a game had to be made. He was the Joe Montana of defense.

LT is no doubt the greatest Defensive player ever.

what I miss most is listening to the great Pat Summerall and the great John Madden call those games!.

Rumor has it that to this day Jaworski still has nightmares about LT.

Yep he was still there with my Cowboys of the 1990's. LT took over and controlled a ball game more than any one else in history.

I played high school and college football left tackle and hated facing fast strong out edge rushers.You add supreme talent, meanness, unbelievable tenacity, and you got someone that is simply unstoppable. He was truly the best defensive player ever, unfortunately he has shown this same reckless behavior outside of football

The greatest football player..ever🐏

As a life long Cowboy fan of hard to say but I appreciate great athletes in any genre. Lawrence Taylor greatest of all time at linebacker

Lawrence Taylor is the greatest DEFENDER in the history of the national football league. No one comes close

He could play the run, pass rush , cover and defend on the goal line. Pay attention to how many times he gets double teamed and or held, but still manages to make the play. Todays linebackers are great athletes, but none have the mindset and tenacity this guy did. None of them can single handedly make the offensive line shit themselves the way LT did.

Say what you want but it took some balls to play Quarterback back in the day

The greatest player of all time. There’s no debate

I miss those days they were classic

The best their was, is, and ever will be.

If LT played today, Dak and Ezekiel would be in Hospice!!!!

What's great about his plays.. IT WASN'T DIRTY, just ferocious flying in with power to catch his opponent. My older brother favorite NFL player

Being a Giants fan in those days was like being a fan of the Yankees with Mariano in the bullpen , being a Chicago Bulls fan with Michael Jordan on the team, or being an Edmonton Oiler fan with Wayne Gretzky on the team. You felt secure knowing that you had this beast-mode player on your side; a legend. It was good to be a Giants fan during the days of L.T. and an honor to watch him play the game. L.T.G.O.A.T.

Nobody could stop him if they had to play him twice a year every year. If you werent alive back then and watching football then you have no idea how much better he was than every other player in the league, regardless of position.

an a l-e-g-e-n-d ♡♡ *when football was real* 🏈

Greatest football player ever. I saw him single-handedly win so many games for the Giants during the 80's when their offense was so anemic. Causing 4th and longs to allow our offense to be in field goal position even if they couldn't pickup a first down, critical fumbles during times in the game when they needed a big play, and obviously his sacking and tackling ability. To be the all time sack leader when he retired from the LB position didn't make any sense considering he played during a run heavy era in the NFL where QB's threw 20-25 times a game at most. So strong, so fast but what really separates him from all the other great defensive players of all time was LT's motor. I've been watching football for over 30 years now and I still haven't seen someone play with his level of energy and reckless abandon. The guy just never took a play off. Greatest football player ever for me. You watch him in his prime and it looks like the other 10 guys on his team are playing football while he's trying to kill someone.

Greatest football player to ever live

This is bringing back some great memories. Awesome vid

I love this man to this day. I became a Giants fan in 1980. We drafted LT in 1981 and he dam sure changed the way football was played.

Thanks you for your all great Giant L,T super plays that's you in deed

absolutely the greatest player on defense to ever play the game! and I'm glad I had a chance growing up in Newark New Jersey to see him every week! there's only two players that can bring me to tears when I think about him or watch their highlights. 1 is Lawrence Taylor, in 2 is my favorite player in the world which is Earl Campbell!

Beckham Jr wasn't even born until after LT retired. How did he grow up watching him play, in old highlights?

LT was a fuckin MONSTER. Most gifted defensive player in the history of football. People who didnt watch him live in his prime dont appreciate how much of a talented freak he was.

LT and Reggie White are the two best defensive players I ever saw and I'm 50 so Ive seen a lot of them.

Tough, graceful, mean. Very nice qualities to have if you down to battle. Absolutely love this man, one of my all time fav athletes. For a good solid 40 years very few wired like this man. No weightlifting required or needed. Just unleash him on Sunday woooo

Outfuckingstanding! LOVE LT. Great video man. I'll be watching it again. And again.

I was 12 when Taylor was a rookie he was awesome right off the bat

His rare combination of killer speed , bruit power and rentlyless never giving up on plays and ending careers what made him great ! M

LT is the most intimidating outside linebacker that’s ever played the game of pro football 🏈

This was absolutely great. Thank you for this look at the greatest of all time. The greatest compliment a player or team can receive is imitation by others. Other teams tried to get a Lawrence Taylor. Andre Tippett of New England wore 56 and Pat Swilling in New Orleans wore 56 and Derrick Thomas of the Chiefs wore 58. Teams tried to emulate what the Giants had but they had the greatest of them all.

There was a story about LT back in '85 Bill Parcells wanted REGGIE WHITE in the supplemental draft but former Giants GM George Young took Minnesota Vikings offensive lineman Gary Zimmerman.If Parcells had gotten his way of having Reggie&Lawrence together as teammates if would have been the equivalent of having LUCIFER&JESUS playing together if one didn't get the opposing QB the other would have.

There cannot be many things scarier than a coked up LT running at you full speed from behind with your feet set and you can’t see him. To be a QB and to hear THOSE footsteps coming at you! There has never been a defensive player that effected the game like he did, ever. Great documentary, it’s a gift, seriously.

I used to watch just one defensive player when the game was on. L.T. was one of them! A fav! Others Darrell green, Howie long, Cortez Kennedy, just off the top of my head. All these guys made it fun

LT was great in the biggest moments. It’s amazing that a single linebacker could have so much influence on games.

He's that dude.

Lawrence Taylor hit the shit out of that running back at 22:10!!!💯🔥

🏈 Sir Lawrence of the Meadowlands! 🏈.

from 14:38 to 15:33 he had more sacks in that little clip than most players do in their entire career...I got to see LT play when I was 17 against my Eagles and there was nothing like it

Troy is both the storm n the calmness after the storm miss watching you USO thank you for all the years of excitement..God bless you and your family...

Greatest linebacker in history,,,and thats saying alot coming from a steelers fan,,,derrick Thomas was great also

"Sure I saw Butkus play--this guy's better!" --Giants GM George Young

to tell you how great Lawrence Taylor was, I can think of 20 great plays he made that weren't even in this long video. it would take days to see all his great plays.

the greatest PLAYER in nfl history

What's amazing is how good in he was in pass coverage.

@7:50 Herm is sitting there thinking...”man, you couldn’t carry LT’s jock strap and you’re talkin’ like you’ve been in the trenches for years!”

I watched back the documentary on him last night. he seems like a good person who turned his life around now.

One of the best autobiographies I ever read!

when he came in the NFL have never seen anything like him, he literally revolutionized the NFL and very few players have ever done that. defensive blocking schemes offensive lineman stances, leaving the tight end in to help block the two tight-end formation. he is responsible for all of that

I always wondered what my dad was talking about when he’d reminisce about LT, but now I know 🤯

LT was the most devastating defensive player in NFL History.

As a Giant fan since 1981, and having seen nearly every game LT played in, I understand that my opinion is biased. However, I can honestly say that I've never seen any other defensive player dominate a game like Lawrence Taylor did on a regular basis. He was downright scary, and he was on my team. Special players change the game, and those players are few and far between. I'm honored to have watched the GOAT during my lifetime and he will always remain my favorite player.

I remember the 80 draft. The Giants desperately needed a quality running back to take the pressure off of Simms. When I read the paper the next day and saw that they drafted a linebacker I audibly cursed, like I did with the Phil Who? pick. We already had great LBs in Van Pelt, Carson, and Kelley--we didn't need another LB. After I saw three plays by LT I silently apologized for my reaction to his pick and said that he was way better than any RB we could have drafted at #2. One three-and-out convinced me that this guy was special with a capital S (for Superman). I'm old enough to remember seeing Sam Huff, Ray Nitschke, Dick Butkus, and LT was like all three combined, with Mickey Mantle's speed thrown in. He was the Bobby Fischer of linebackers.

Awesome video! I'll always love L.T..

Growing up watching my favorite NFL team the NY Giants was absolutely AMAZING!! Taylor was the greatest linebacker in NFL history. Before him I thought that Dick Butkus would be the best I've seen then came Lawrence Taylor. I was a joy to watch. The best QB ever on offense was Tom Brady. Defense without a doubt was LT.

I'm a New York Football Giant because of this man LT IS THE MAN.

Lawrence Tayler is my hero

I agree, probably best linebacker. The other one was Derek Thomas of the Chiefs.

Baltimore had lost the colts so I watch the Redskins and Giants the year Lawrence Taylor was introduced into the NFL and boy he made3 football exciting them years ! From the Monday nite game He was involved in the play that Redskins quarterback Joe Theisman broke his leg to the dominating games that LT turned an impressive offense into a cowards shaking in their shoes

Xavier Woods: "You can't expect a player to go full speed for 70 plays a game in the NFL, that's just not possible.." LT's entire career: "Am I a joke to you?"

If LT played in this era Brady would have retired already!!!!!
