    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.

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

    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.

    The way his teammate described him was awesome. Superman 3 well deserved.

    Dang, I forgot how dominant he was. Not many guys even come close.

      Some may come near yet, L.T. brought teams fear...

    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

    LT, you are the best defensive player I have ever seen (I am a lifelong Cowboys fan), we might have your jr............ in Parsons.

      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..

    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.

    LT was a monster. He truly put fear in quarterbacks. Awesome to watch. The goat in his time.
