I honestly think it's debateble between L.T. & Reggie White as the greatest defensive player ever but I understand why ppl pick L.T. he was a game changer
the Redskins had to make changes on theree o line because of Lawrence Taylor
Mr Q Ceaz Some people fail to realize that Reggie White had more sacks strictly because he was a Defensive Lineman constantly going after the quarterback. Lawrence Taylor rushed the quarterback and dropped into coverage. LT #1 Reggie White #2
It honestly isn’t debatable at all. LT is the GOAT
L.T redefined the outside linebacker position in the 3-4 defense which is now the "Edge Rusher." L.T had head coaches and offensive coordinators changing their game plans because of him.
@@evanpeterson393 Reggie White had offenses scared of him just as much of not more than L.T. did
"If you dont know what youre doing, rush the quarterback" -Lawrence Taylor
Words to live by
I know the Giants are glad he didn’t know what to do lol and to think the Saints has a chance to draft him but they chose George Rogers instead
I'm proud to say I gave your post the 200th like ....GREAT QUOTE !!
@Gyeongseung (Ryan) Han come to think of it ....its brilliant....everyone today is too busy figuring out complicated offenses (designed to block guys like L.T.) 👊💪
that's what I do
1984, I was 8 years old. My father was watching a Giants game. I asked if I could watch with him. He said “of course” 1st thing he said to me was, “Watch #56! Just watch L.T.!” Great memories
I understand you're Fandom.
I bet it was fun
Amazing, wholesome story. Thanks for sharing the memory with us.
My grandfather would say after a long run, " that's because LT wasn't chasing him" good memories 😊😊
Imagine getting 20.5 sacks as an LB playing era of the running Game😳
Quarterbacks and offenses weren’t nearly as good back then as they are now. They didn’t even know how to chip block with tight ends and the quarterbacks couldn’t run for shit these dudes are dropping straight back and standing there half the time they don’t climb the pocket or anything from what I’ve seen
@@servicedogojokeguys2967that’s a lie… ron jaworski talks about TE chipping all the time with LT… also joe gibbs did many things offensively to try to slow him which teams use now…
@@servicedogojokeguys2967rule changes allowed the offense to be much more productive nowadays.
@@servicedogojokeguys2967Quarterbacks and offenses weren't nearly as good back then? Broncos since superbowl 50... 😅
A running back or a tight end could not block this guy lol@@servicedogojokeguys2967
I’m a diehard Steelers fan. Some of the greatest linebackers of all time have played for the Steelers. None of the can hold a candle to LT.
When it's all said and done TJ WATT may have something to say about that
@@gregpettis1113 I hope so. Absolutely phenomenal talent. I just hope he can stay injury free this season.
@@gregpettis1113 you can't be serious! Did JJ Watt get named defensive rookie of the year as well as defensive player of the year in his first season?! Did JJ Watt win the league MVP ( LT was the last defensive player to accomplish that in 1986) . Did JJ Watt bring his team defensive ranking from 26th the previous season to 3rd in his rookie season utilizing the same core of defensive Personnel? No one ever compared JJ Watt to LT, except maybe you!
@@josephconner3742 I'm talking about tj watt
@@gregpettis1113 all the Watt brothers combined can't make 1 LT. Did TJ win defensive rookie of the year as well as defensive player of the year in his first season, which by the way no one else in NFL history has accomplished. LT is the last defensive player to win League MVP. Did TJ ever come close?! I doubt it.
Rookie LT ... "Hopefully 5 6 7 8 years from now I can be the best linebacker" 5 months later ... Roty and dpoy. Not only was he already the best linebacker he was the best defensive player period 😂🐐💯
Talk about being extremely conservative on his talents. Lol.
Alton Rodgers : THANK YOU -because the Showtime is too much shuck n jive ( BOTH races ALL inclusive racially !) but their attitude is like: You All SHOULD KNOW THIS! ...which is going to, imo, bring the NFL to it’s knees....(!!!! )
Taylor is the best NFL player in history. Either him, Jerry Rice or Deion Sanders
@@ucheokoroafor8273 no....Taylor was the best Defensive player ever...offensively was Don Hutson without question. Both dominated like no one else ever
@@ucheokoroafor8273 Sanders was one of the best cover corners ever, but he was a liability when it came to tackling
Dude had QBs falling to the ground before he even got to them😂😂😂
Amarion Ross Montana and Young fell down like Sonny Liston did
K Donovan fear is a great weapon.
haha i noticed that! he was like the mike tyson of the NFL
OH YEAH. UR RIGHT ABOUT THAT FRIEND!!! THEY ALL SAW WHAT HE DID TO JOE THEISMANN'S POOR LEG ! BROKE THE POOR GUY'S LEG IN HALF . AND THATS WHEN THE WHOLE WORLD WATCHED MONDAY NIGHT FOOTBALL!!🤪
@@JacobMichaelC I'd say Ali but yeah both in one cause he NEVER LOST!!!
The Mike Tyson of the NFL. Absolute beast
Wrong: Mike Tyson is the Lawrence Taylor of Boxing.
Wrong Lawrence Taylor is the sugar ray Robinson of football
Lawrence Taylor once main evented wrestlemania, as a wrestler. Mike Tyson was also involved in a wrestlemania main event, but he was only the referee. That says it all, really. Mike Tyson is the Lawrence Taylor of boxing, not the other way around.
Tyson got whooped by holifield only beat an old Holmes Tyson really didn't beat the best
@@diegochavez6203facts! Tyson never beat a top heavyweight in their prime. He lost to every great heavyweight he fought, getting knockout every time without even going the distance.
He was just way ahead of his time! He was just way better and more athletic than everyone else on the field!
He was on crack
Exactly He was the Best crackhead to ever play😂😂😂😂😂
Cocaine brother have some class😂
One reason Montana was so great for so long was that he had the good sense to fall down whenever LT was within 10 ft of him.
Marshall ended his career as a 49er, I thought he killed him!
@@funkoff5 We remember that the Marshall hit would not have happened if Taylor didn't stop Montana's roll dead in its tracks. LT was an unsung hero on that play, but of course we treasure Marshall for getting off the ground not once but twice on that play and never giving up!
@@Torgo1969 ......Brother....that 1990 NFC CG vs the 49ers was a case study in TEAMWORK!! Everyone stepped up and did their job....no turnovers, no blown assignments......Taylor rushes Montana....forcing Montana to stop his rush enough for Marshall to collide with him. NT Erik Howard drops to one knee to beat a double team and get his helmet on the ball that 49er RB Roger Craig is carrying to force a fumble that Taylor recovered after beating two blocks by 49ers’ TE Brent Jones and FB Tom Rathman to get to the spot along the Line Of Scrimmage where Craig was and he was able to snatch the ball out of the air after Howard knocked it from his grasp......just inspiring football.
@@byrongammonbyrongammon9937 Carthon dropped a pass in the end zone, and Collins somehow didn't recover Montana's fumble after the Marshall hit. But other than those I don't remember any major errors by the NYGs. As I have commented before, I'm not sure I would want to live my life over again exactly as it has been, but I would definitely like to relive the memory of watching that game as it happened, surrounded by my college buddies.
QB of the year
Before Ray Lewis, Brian Urlacher, Junior Seau, and Khalil Mack, There was LT, Singlehandedly the Greatest LB of All-Time
I agree with that sh*t. I think Ron Jaworski saw too much of LT
What about Derrick Thomas? Derrick Brooks? Mike Singletary? All three are Hall of Famers.
J55GameDelSol they don’t hold a CANDLE to LT
Joe Thiessman definitely has PTSD from LT
Ray Lewis>All Of The Above.
Taylor wasn't just a physical force. His football IQ was off the charts. Belichick said nobody saw the game better. He could make changes on the fly, make everyone better. He was a general commanding troops.
And drugs and alcohol helped!
@@gdr205 always one of you lurking.
@@gdr205 You think drugs and alcohol HELPED him? Lmao boy you people are dumb. He was amazing despite those things, not because of them 🤣
I don't think he was a thinker, he was just primal rage. A cat 5 hurricane vs a a straw house.
@@nathanmckenzie904 Then you don't know what you're talking about lol. LT was incredibly smart.
I was 17 in LT’s rookie year. We had season tickets from 1953-2014…LT had an energy and will that was insurmountable. Haven’t seen anyone come close to the pure havoc he brought. Run or pass he was unstoppable
It's called cocaine
Boy what kind of money y’all had to be season ticket holders from 1953 to 2014
@@allgastrucking4954 In 2014 I paid $4k for 4 seats. I had to give em up once my babies were born❤️❤️ What a ride though
@@allgastrucking4954that old rockafella money
Watching LT play was unreal, was like watching a customized Madden player on a video game...with all 100's.
I always said he played like he picked your play in Tecmo Bowl every single down, lol
Kinda like donald
I saw every game LT ever played. And I’ve watched football for almost 60 years. He was without a doubt not only the greatest defensive player but the greatest football player I’ve ever seen. And it’s not even close!
I've been watching for over 45 years and thought the same. I'm a Raider fan and we had some nasty HOF guys in the 70's but LT changed the way coaches coached offences as they had NO idea how to deal with this guy. It was mesmerising
Sadly, most of the thrilling action in this video would be penalized today, thus the League has rendered it impossible for there to be another LT.
Facts
This guy coming to take the mr Aaron Donald #99
I think Walter Payton and LT are the two best players I've ever seen.
One thing you'll notice about all these highlights is how CLEAN of a football player actually was. Clean hits that exercised great constraint where he otherwise could have inflicted a lot more pain and injuries to his fellow players but chose not to. No one ever mentions this.
But thats the thing, the hardest hitting dude on the field usually hits the cleanest, they also miss a million tackles as the level of ball increases, thats what makes LT special, he creamed you in the NFL, that was proabbly as clean and nasty as it gets
he was off sides in 50% of the highlights too 😂
@@Boston_CremePie had he eaten more boston creme pie he would have been coming off of his sugar high and not nearly as jumpy to jump off sides. I'm sure he wasn't aware of how good Boston creme pie tastes. Had he, he would have become a couch potato eating delicious creme pies all day and the only thing he would have tackled is the refrigerator.
@@quantumpotential7639 elite response tbh. 🤣 good one man ✊🏾
L.T. was a beast! Played outside linebacker on a 3 4 defense. He could cheat up and play defensive line and he had the speed to act as a corner back. Unbelievable.
two words Jack LAmbert there is no substitute. LT is a woosie in compare
@@jameshourston8800 no LT the grand daddy son😂
My husband and I have seen Alan Page play, Dick Butkus play, Deacon Jones play, and Jack Lambert play. Lawrence Taylor is the most impactful, disruptive, talented defensive player in pro football history. Taylor was relentless in his pursuit of the ball carrier and changing the course of the game’s outcome.
I’m from New Zealand and all us Rugby guys know about LT. He would be a flanker in our game. No doubt his talent would translate to Rugby or any contact sport the great man would choose. Love and respect from Aotearoa.
Repect To Rugby ... Not sure why more Rugby players dont make the Jump to American style football. Make hella Good Linebackers , Fullbacks nd DE You Guyz are Awesomely underrated Bad Ass Athletes.
I would love to see prime LT play rugby
You don't have the speed.LT was capable of bringing down an elephant
Fun comment! Thanks for making me think.
8man for me
He was such a dominating force with such strength and speed that he could change the game with a fumble, sack, tackle or interception. Definitely the best OLB I’ve ever seen play
Best player ever.
Just to think I was 16 when he retired and I'd been following him since 85 when I was 8, damn I'm getting old, the defensive GOAT
He’s not just the best pass rusher of all time. He’s also a perfect example of a Swiss Army Knife. He could rush the quarterback, he could play the run, and he could cover. A truly generational football player.
and he could run a pick 6 back 93 yards
@@nikonmikey Hurt.
He was juiced up on coke when he played and this was well known.
@@robertwatson818now they juiced on steroids.. imagine LT taking 500cc’s of test per week?
@@robertwatson818That absolutely has nothing to do with his natural, athletic ability
There will never be another defensive player quite like LT. The guy was so disruptive and could single handedly take over a game. Dude was the last player on defensive to win league MVP!
GayfisH And lookin at today’s NFL he’ll be the only defensive player and should have that right 💯🔥
Is he the only one?
Makaveli Jr Well, Khalil Mack does the same things.
Quinton Timler No he doesn’t he isn’t as strong as fast as physical as dominate or as scary
KZhead Police Thank you like who watches today’s game of NFL or No Fun League
His close in speed was underrated
He struck fear in the hearts and minds of his opponents.
Damn sure did I forgot what QB it was but one of them called timeout because he didn't see where LT lined up and he wasn't even on the field 😂😂 had them boys shakin in there cleats
"Son....Y'all gotta do better than this."😂😂😂
my favorite micd up clip of him
and he was not an asshole. that was fun banter . He could have insulted his mother and still they would not do anything
His ability to destroy a running back on a blindside blitz was unprecedented. He was incredibly fast for his size.
Great comment. The amount of times he blew past the tackle and steam-rolled the RB was unreal. That and the one arm sacks/tackles were legendary.
That 97 pick 6 reminded me of no Jackson running down the side lines all those years ago
But you can’t help but wonder hearing his life story, do think he ever played coked up, just maybe a little
Seriously. Built like a linebacker with the speed of a db.
A freak of nature to this day at 6'3" 245lbs. NOBODY has matched his explosiveness, speed, aggression, determination, will, tomahawk to actually create a fumble once tackling/sacking, etc...
Life long pro football fan (52yrs old) hands down the greatest LB I've ever seen or defensive player for that matter
def i gotta give my man ray second 💯
To me he's the best football player ever! This guy was a monster!
Greatest football player ever. I feel fortunate to have watched his whole career. One of the main reasons i loved football as a kid.
@@LoungeLizard_33 I might understand the argument that he is the 2nd best but to "eh" LT and drop him to 10 denotes either a personal dislike or lack of understanding of the game. The "eh" in your statement makes me conclude the latter.
Aww u lucky got to see Lt play I was born in 91 so I gotta watch highlights
No but he’s second to Jim Brown
Morgan Weazy You didn’t see him play he retired in 93
whole27 because they CANT block him. He’s that good
I never got to see him play, but this man was absolutely *DOMINANT* .... and that might be an understatement!
It was fantastic to watch, even as a die hard Bills/49ers fan. He single handedly caused me to move from receiver to outside linebacker and my younger brother from running back to inside linebacker. He epitomized his famous quote “let’s go out there like a bunch of crazed dogs and have some fun.”
If you never seen him play how do you know he was that good
He was the best period. There's no debate about it.
He’s literally the football equivalent of a prime Mike Tyson
As a Giants fan, *THIS DOES PUT A SMILE ON MY FACE* Thank you, LT!😁
This Put a Smile on My Face and Im not even a Giants fan. 😁😁👍
TONIGHT AT 8:00 PM ET! Comment a question for Dinesh, and he might answer it LIVE! www.youtube.com/watch?v=WJRBj...
@@ifeanyinwosu26 as an eagles fan, poor jaws and randall.
I am a life long Cowboys fan and it puts tears in my eyes. LT is the greatest ever.
I agree with you... When defense was defense....
Taylor is not just the greatest defensive football player of all time...he is the greatest football player of all time. I believe the man could have played any position on the field and still been a hall of famer at that position. He was an amazingly gifted athelete.
Calm down
@@redshift912 ????????????????????
Jerry Rice has entered the chat
@@alexsolimani lmao Brady is the Goat
@@michaeljordan8859 at being overrated sure
Lawrence Taylor was one of the few players that I genuinely hated to see play against my Bears. He was so dominant, even hurt. One of 2 defensive players to win NFL MVP. Definitely one of the Top 5 players ever, offense players included.
Yooo, this dude is BROKEN😳😂😂😂it’s scary how strong and fast he is
When Mike Tyson was at his prime so was LT Mike was in a club with a bodyguard and LT walked in Mikes bodyguard walked over to LT and asked for an autograph. He said LT was like Elvis and he was
@jamesk479 Coke was everywhere then....Everyone was doing coke. It was sickening.
@jamesk479 Tom Brady does coke but no one talks about it
@@irecruitfish7410 Brady is the GOAT, but he still felt the need to cheat.
Tyson said people would push him aside to go see LT.
My friends dad told me a story about how he was put in NYC at a club and needed to piss. Lts people had the bathroom locked down so he couldn't chop it up. He had to wait. Dont know how true it is but he was an honest guy
The GOATs of both football and basketball graduated from UNC. What a coincidence.
LT; Total FREAK OF NATURE!! Best pass rusher EVER! I seriously doubt that the NFL will EVER see anyone of that caliber again!!
Lawrence Taylor was one of the greatest players ever to play the game 11/12/21
L. T. Thank you for the memories! With you, the New York Giants were GIANTS!!!
greatest defensive player of all time hands down
John G greatest player of all time
bobby bouchet was the goat dude, LT was the 2nd best
Lawrence Taylor is the greatest of all time. Hands down
James d prime time 🤷🏾♂️
Mari nah I’d still say LT is the greatest and Prime time is the most exciting
I'm just amazed at the explosiveness he had off of the line of scrimmage, most of the time it almost looked like he was off sides, but his reaction time was just that much better than everyone else's.
The amount of fumbles he created is insane
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 human only
@Ricky Norton haha. So edgy and funny. You really got the whole squad laughing. 😐😐😐
Wassup baddog
steve hammond I’ll take him and beat you every time
steve hammond You sound angry. Wanna talk about it?
As a Raider fan all my life, I had a poster of him on my wall growing up. He is the best Player ever period. 1986 i was 11 years-old and he was absolutely the best that year.
Was it the intimidation poster?
That’s so dope a raider fan but had a LT poster he had to be a bad man!!!!
The greatest defensive player I ever watched.
LT was the most dominating defensive player i ever saw. Best Giant ever. Best linebacker ever.
LT would still be the greatest defensive player we have if we signed him today
Fines and flag
I think you are underestimating talent the NFL has on defense.
King Cobra there is NO ONE in the league rn in Lawrence Taylor’s level and that’s a fact
LT said it best. "If I played today they would have to give me part ownership of the team"
@@michaeldavid145 IDK Prime Jadeveon Clowney is a fuckin beast
Prime LT was superhuman, seeing a guy that big run and pivot as fast as he could was remarkable.
💬🤔 think: LT hit the pipe, pure psycho
LT revolutionized the game. Greatest LB ever
"If you don't know what you're doing just rush the quarterback, hell see what happens" beat drops I ascend to another dimension
This brings back awesome memories. The football NY Giants had a very exciting defense in those days.
Lawrence Taylor was the reason started watching football to start with
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.
A linebacker with WR speed and DT strength!
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. 👍🏻💪🏻🇺🇸
Watching Taylor in this video takes me right back to when I use to see this man dominate the field with his unique style, made me smile, LT 👏🏽
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.
I know that this is a highlight reel, but damn that man could play.
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.
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.
Because of LT I loved watching the Giants defense way more then their offense!!
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.
@Jeremiah Green it was Joe Theismann The Heisman trophy was named after John Heisman
@@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.
Sad how it’s changed. He’d have a thousand roughing the passer calls
tucker Prestridge idk even tho he hit hard a lot of his tackles were really clean.
Jason Rivas yeah for sure but roughing the passer unnecessary roughness even though it’s clean refs won’t accept hard hits on the qb while he’s in the pocket no matter what especially fully body weight hits
He’s why we got players that can play the edge AND cover cuz of the athletes of today even tho the trend is starting to become undersized outside linebackers cuz most teams are pass heavy in today’s game
It’s sad how everything is changed in the NFL
@@primateproductions126 i miss the old school NFL too but some of these older players' health is really fucked up for the long-term.. would prefer protecting our nation's greatest athletes into old age
The NFL has never seen anyone like him, and never will again! That’s why he’s the defensive GOAT 🐐!
Keep an eye on Micah Parsons
He can make Satan scared that’s how vicious LT was!
@@vicn1349Michah can't fill his shoes. LT cant only come up and pressure the QB, he can also be out in the open field and pick him off as well, which gives him the edge altogether.
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
Makes me proud as a Giants fan to say we arguably had the greatest singular talent the NFL has ever seen.
Lying to yourself to feel better is a mental disease.
Richard DeCredico Are you fucking stupid?
@@southside6093 yes, he is. LT changed the game. You can see he was on a different level than everyone else.
I am a Cowboys fan and there is no doubt he was the best. The most dominant player ever
LT the best player to ever live also nown as my favorite player. the real LT
He’s simply THE GREATEST EVER!
I watched LT his rookie year and you just knew that he was going to be a force in the NFL.
I love the story about how intimidating he was that the opponents would look around for him while he wasnt even on the field on certain downs
There is a story about a quarterback (not sure who) that was looking for LT and couldn’t spot him so he called a time out only to find out that he was on the sideline. Dude was very intimidating.

LT could do everything sack the QB drop in coverage he was unstoppable. 🐐. Hands down he's my favorite football player of all time.
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.
LT was a monster. He truly put fear in quarterbacks. Awesome to watch. The goat in his time.
I really miss Madden calling games with Pat
Dang, I forgot how dominant he was. Not many guys even come close.
Some may come near yet, L.T. brought teams fear...
My favorite linebacker #56 L.T.
"One man cannot block Lawrence Taylor!" Damn that speaks volumes of this mans strength. 💪🏿
LT was the most dominate linebacker I've ever seen. I've never seen another player that could literally dominate a game.
Greatest combination of speed and power I've ever seen play the game 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
Quite simply the best football player I’ve ever seen. Period‼️
Got that right
I've been watching Lawrence Taylor since KZhead 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
There will never be another LT
I'd have to say he's the best ever....he changed the game and everyone has been looking for a LT ever since!
He's not just the greatest defensive player, he's the greatest football player of all time.
Straight up, the best LB I ever saw, no doubt.
A man among boys, a force of nature!
Greatest defensive player of all time!!!
Bet Ron Jaworski has PTSD from playing this fella
kevin jobling So does every other NFC QB from this era
He wouldn't even look at him
Jaws had nothing but respect for LT. A little bit of fear too
Jaworski probably still has nightmares of LT.
Ron hated playing taylor
LT was the best and most dominate player to ever play sports. I am so happy I watched his whole career. The stuff he did was one of kind. We are always looking for the next LT. And it will always be that way because there will never be another LT. Scared the bejesus out of people.
I couldn't hold back the goosebumps and tears watching this phenomenal footage.🇺🇲🏈
His motor and mean streak is what separated from any other player. He never stopped coming and he was in a controlled frenzy.
Back when the rules made sense. LT is definitely the GOAT 🐐
Hahaha love this
Mr Tom Brady wouldn't have stood a chance I watched L.T. play he would have crushed any quarterback of any time period. Nobody wanted to see him on the field except Big blue fans..
Seahawks fan here....LT is still the greatest defensive player I’ve ever seen, and I love Kenny Easley.
Ohhh yes, Kenny Easley could flat out play!
Easley was a bad dude.
LT was a beast, and I am blessed to have seen him play his whole career!
“Son, y’all gotta do better than this” -LT 😂 he really sounded disappointed with his opponents blocking ability.
The combination of relentlessness and athleticism was lethal. The sheer impact of it ended Joe Theismann's career, just an absolute terminator on the field.
I will never forget that MNF game! I hated the skins, but that image of Joe tore me up! Greatest defensive player of all-time!
