The real LT was leaving training camp at lunch time towards the tail end of his career. The players had just finished signing autographs and were leaving in their cars. LT was in a car with Rodney Hampton and saw my 7 year old son motioning to him because he didn't get his Giants football signed. LT had Hampton stop the car, got out and signed the football. My son hugged his leg and LT patted him on his head with a big smile. My son now lives in Texas, but he will always be an LT and a NY Giants fan. So when you hear about the bad things LT may have done, know that the guy did a lot of good things that went unnoticed.
He was like myself & a bunch of the guys I played college ball with. Never meant intentional harm even though being a good natured wildman,sometimes unintended outcomes were pretty crazy.However basically good hearted & NEVER predatory towards others. Except (obviously)when on the field against the opposing team. When you're around someone of true predatory nature there's no debate about it,& the wild young jocks I ran with, nor LT were even close to that.
@@inlike32 ,Partner, you're the only one making that comparison. The only thing I said is I know the feeling of getting an undeserved predator type label hung you from my crazy college football days. Hey, you're kinda doing that to me now keyboard warrior style, how ironic. What a blessing the computer's been for the dickless.
Doesnt matter if those hits happened in our modern NFL they would throw flags all over the place. Especially if it is Brady getting hit all they do is protect the QB now. We saw dozens and dozens of roughing the passer flags thrown the last 4-5 years in particular that weren't even decent tackles, it was almost like a penalty for even going near the QB
He had arms like tree trunks...I seen him toss players up into the air. Then on the ground with just his arms...Today the NFL would call that ruffing the passer every time...
best quote about LT is from Dan Dierdorf, where he says something like, when I played him, I wasn't worried about losing the game so much as I was worried about losing my job and him ruining my life
He's the reason that Left Tackles make huge $$$, these days. He made it absolutely necessary to get a stud to block the QB's blindside; or else that mult-million QB investment you made would be out for the season!!!
really? LT was the first defensive player to be schemed against. you know that 3rd TE with an OL? LT. A blocker on the off side on a counter play? LT. Max protect? LT. Take your millenial bullshit somewhere else.
@@glazgang6332 hahaha yeah right. Brady would be killed. LT played in a tougher league. Brady's League if you sack the quarterback you have to take em out to dinner too.
Growing up in New Jersey in the 80’s and watching him (I never got to chance to see him live) was unreal. If there ever was a football player worth the price of admission it was LT. Pat Summerall and John Madden never had enough adjectives to describe his style of play. The greatest rush linebacker ever to play the game!! PERIOD.
Even as a lifelong Cowboys fan I feel extremely privileged to have grown up watching the 🐐 play! Might hate the Giants but I will never root against any individual player and I absolutely loved and admired the way LT played! Nobody and I mean nobody redefined a position like him!
I passed by him in 2009 as a Giants fan at Foxwoods Casino...I didn’t fan rush him...I just acknowledge him and he acknowledged me back!!! Seeing his stature at that moment, I couldn’t imagine him in pads even at that age..., Let alone the prime of his career!!! He was spectacular!!!
+Ricky Todd Ikr, he's literally the reason left tackles are the second highest paid athletes on the offense! He reminds me of Mike Tyson, like one of those dudes you never know whats going to set them off or when...he almost looked border line nuts.
My cousin met in one night in front of a club in Baltimore and he said the same thing...real down to earth dude, refreshing since a lot of these cats can get narcissistic after a lifetime of being worshiped.
What amazes me in these highlights is his speed and power! And to think all these highlights came in an era when teams threw the ball about 15 to 20 times a game. I think he’s one of the few players that I can imagine him being able to play in the next hundred years as athletes get bigger, stronger, faster and still be just as effective.
I watched LT play as a kid and anytime I watch old highlights, and I've seen a lot of them, he would've done just fine in today's bs NFL rules. I think I've seen everyone of his recorded sacks and I can't find any helmet to helmet hits. Same when it came to running backs. He was textbook with it. If he came from the blind side, he would either hit center mass or upper back or use his patented swipe at the ball from the blindside causing a fumble then wrap the QB up and take him down. He was the first of his kind to do that. Where do you think James Harrison and Von Miller to name a few learned that? Except they launch with their helmet a lot. Don't see late hits. I don't see him launching with his helmet. He was a beast. The only issues he would have with today's game would be taunting and some roughing the passer. Horse collaring was legal back then. He would've adjusted like everyone else. But that's what makes him great. Greatest of all time. #56 #GOAT #nyg
+FRANKIE BANTA Greatest Defensive player of all time and maybe greatest NFL player of all time. As good as Jerry Rice was, he is not credited with opposing coaches changing their entire offensive formations, blocking, etc... like Taylor forced them all to do. Taylor just changed everything that the offense had to do once he started playing in 1981
+FRANKIE BANTA I'm a huge Cowboys fan but without a doubt LT was the greatest defensive player thats ever played the game. He ruined people and changed the way the game was played. Mad respect for LT
"2nd and 10, Taylor on this side!" Pat Summerall's voice will forever be infused into my passion for the Gmen, I just can't help but hear his voice everytime I watch them. Furthermore, I need to point out the editing on this is simply epic. The way you have placed the music to fall in line with a massive hit from LT is just amazing. I'm finding myself watching this every morning just to get my mind right before I start my day! The greatest linebacker ever!!
Just bow down and respect the king! LT is the most dominant defensive player ever! Just like M Jordan is the most dominant offensive player ever! UNC hatched these freaks?😳😳😳😳😳😳😳😳😳😳😳
Did you know that coach Dean Smith had a rule for his players when LT was in the gym playing basketball? His players were not allowed anywhere near it.
Every year, we hear that some guy is the next LT. Since #56 wrecked havoc on the NFL, not one player has come close to him and that includes the 2014 number one pick "Clown" who can't play through the kind of pain that Lawrence Taylor would have laughed at.
+Yaahboi52 Watt is a DE with amazing stats, but he hasn't impacted the game of football like LT did. Watt also has people rivaling him, such as Wake, Donald, and some other Rams guy. Lawrence always seemed to be in a league of his own on the field. It's like when teams played the Giants they would always scheme and offensive game plan to counter Lawrence Taylor in the pass rush. There will never be a player like him again I believe.
Lawrence Taylor was the heart of football itself. He played the game like it was supposed to be played but Lawrence Taylor was above everybody else his strength and determination never ceased. And if you needed your bell rang or you're clock cleaned he could do that too he was the best!!!
Wow...explosive, fast, tough just about everything you could want in a Linebacker. No one will ever come close to LT as a player that made such an impact. Plus the only Defensive Player EVER to win an MVP. Nuff said
Actually Allan Page was also a defensive MVP of the NFL at one point. But yes Lawrence Taylor is the most dominating defensive player to play the game.
The greatest football player of all time. I am a Giants fan and when he was on the field you knew the Giants had a chance to when every game. He was like superman.
I don't know if he's the best but he's the best I ever saw and I've been an avid fan since the late 1970s. My Dad (who played D1 and semi-pro) used to always say Jim Brown was the greatest until LT came along. Now he says flip a coin.
The greatest outside linebacker in the history of the National Football League 1st round pick by the New York football Giants in 1981 1982 Rookie Of the year 3 Defensive Player of the year awards 1986 MVP 2 super bowl championship rings
Watching LT when I was a young boy is what sparked my love of Football, he stood out on every play and moved with so much more speed, power, and ferocity than everyone else...I was hooked...
Thank you! 🙏 Showing LT’s intensity at the beginning & then showing the plays timed with the music is a great way for older fans to remember how lucky we were to see LT play & more importantly shows younger fans one of the best to play the game.
I believe LT was pissed at missing the tackle or getting blocked on the play before...I don't know what was going on in the idiot camera man's head trying to get up close on LT when he was piping hot mad...no coach or staff even dared to do that...they always let him shake it off before talking to him.
Still after many years I come back to watch this video if feeling a bit flat. Great track suited with a great player. Bunch of highlights with sacks etc, but my favourite is at 1:26 when LT is coming off the edge and instantly the RT is backpedaling. RT is scared and overwhelmed right off the bat. Never be another LT, GOAT
@@bretthulett1985 His professional alchemy of speed, strength and agility will never be matched. You may find other players with the same attributes, but Taylor had the perfect amount of each, and the symbiosis of those attributes couldn't have been more perfect as a result. They don't make players like that anymore and if they do, they're usually corrupted by big money before they've laced up their first pair of pro cleats.
Jadeveon Clowney is bigger, faster, more agile, and only slightly weaker. Vic Beasley is the same size but is faster, more agile, and probably stronger as well
Kennedy, these folks haven't a clue, I really don't think they realize LT's nose was packed full of blow, it'll make a ordinary person man or woman into super athlete.
@Doc Santoro damn son, chill. Sure his comment is lacking any sort of logic but did you really have to go so, "internet dwelling redditor" like that? Sounds like you're on coke lmaoo
Doc Santoro nahh he was good but you would be a fool to think that drugs had no effect on his game. How much we will never know, but it is enough to wonder how good he really is
I got to see him practice on goal line drills. It was game on with the offense. Intensity to the max. No one will ever have an engine like he had. A warrior for the game. Take a play off or tap out for being tired. Never. I was blessed to see this man play.
If you slow it down and watch closely you can see he stepped into the hit and used the full force of his entire body, with all of his muscles working together from the leg up. You can get massive, instant power from that kind of technique, as Bruce Lee used to demonstrate with his famous "one-inch punch." I think Taylor was a lot like Lee: not just strong, but blessed with a kind of innate physical awareness that led to perfectly-coordinated strength with amazing explosive power. Add to that a bunch of cocaine, and you get something out of this world.
1:27 LT bull rushes one of the Redskins "Hogs"-- massive 300+ offensive linemen they had in the 80's-- might be Jacoby-- and damn near drives him backwards on his ass-- about 2 yards on the initial contact--- LT was a beast-- too bad today's NFL is such a joke and nobody out there can do what LT did back in the day!!
The track is perfect to this and great video man. The fact that LT looks like he’s going in full motion still when it’s all slow replay tells you something. LT was a freak!! He’s the number 1 reason NFL teams pay top dollar to protect their QB, Sir LT!! Love this vid mate
The funny thing is LT wasn't physically huge or domineering...he used to fight with the coaching staff because he hated working out in the gym...his teammates said he hardly ever works out... everything you see on these highlights is pure natural speed, strength and agility...he knocked 280-320lb lineman on their asses like it was a joke...even to this day it's unreal watching him do it...pay attention to one of the plays in this reel...he blasts a huge lineman before getting the QB...the guy is so much bigger and stronger than LT but he literally buckles at his feet as if he was going to be thrown.
OG Crying Face Meme , Because cocaine is a short high meaning he’ll crash during the middle of the game but he not only holds on but dominated. He would be 10x better without it but he’s still legendary.
THE GOAT at his position. LT played with controlled choas and could read offenses like a coach. Other than mean Joe GREEN ive never seen a man so powerfull .

He doesn't spear anybody. He hits them hard, with his head up, making contact with his chest and wrapping them up. Great football.
Yes. He prefers to tomahawk the QB's arm to cause a fumble rather than hurt the QB.
Taylor was a clean player right up through NC State into the Pro rank's. Even the Theismann hit was clean!
Just An Intense, Hard-Hitting, SURE Handed As They Come, CLEAN TACKLER; The GREAT LT: GO HEELS!
LT is the greatest player in history.
No one changed a position or a game like he did.
No one.
Yep, no one!!!
Deion Sanders?
Tom bradys bettee
The one highlight they left out is the he waves his hand around making the sound of the bubblegum and then says hear comes the police
Jim Brown on offense.
best quote about LT is from Dan Dierdorf, where he says something like, when I played him, I wasn't worried about losing the game so much as I was worried about losing my job and him ruining my life

He's the reason that Left Tackles make huge $$$, these days. He made it absolutely necessary to get a stud to block the QB's blindside; or else that mult-million QB investment you made would be out for the season!!!
The only guy close to stopping LT was Mark Bavro but he played for New York as well. Maybe Walter Payton. The best blocking back ever..

Even Payton could not block Taylor--The other team used extra TEs to block him.
He doesn't know what he's talking about.
I would pay top money to watch LT go through Tom Brady.
Brady would have the ball out before he had a chance to get to him
I would pay top money for you to see him go against Brady!!!
@@glazgang6332 Brady would have been quite average up against LT!

I come back to this video now and then when I need a fix of watching how the game should be played. Made me proud to be a Giants fan.

His wife didnt even consider asking for child support😂
I don't see that funny ... Grow up
panzer waffen prolly cause yu a bitch

In my opinion you are 100 percent correct
Best LB? Hell best player!
@@brianingram6214 I can’t disagree to be honest. Teams literally changed there offense, because of that man!
Each year especially watching the NFL today I appreciate more and more how fundamentally sound LT was..he always wrapped up on his tackles!!!
That's what I noticed, textbook form no head-to-head. The majority of those sacks would be clean even by today's standards.

I remember when he played with a broken ankle and was still the best player on defense
He also had 3 sacks with a separated shoulder!

I'm number 56 on my football team. I look up to this guy! He was a great hall of famer!
Dont please he was a drug fool
When LT hit you he exploded into you like freight train does to a bus. Never seen anyone close to that.
Sean Taylor was probably close
Becuse it was drugs
Then it comes to be that the soothing light at the end of the tunnel. It's just a freight train coming your way

You may find other players with the same attributes, but Taylor had the perfect amount of each, and the symbiosis of those attributes couldn't have been more perfect as a result. They don't make players like that anymore and if they do, they're usually corrupted by big money before they've laced up their first pair of pro cleats.
Jadeveon Clowney is bigger, faster, more agile, and only slightly weaker. Vic Beasley is the same size but is faster, more agile, and probably stronger as well
@@bretthulett1985 Um, right. Please reread what I wrote. You missed it.
Love the clip where he shoves a Redskin through nxt season. His teammate acts like he wants some and then backs away QUICK! Lmao
That’s why he won the MVP , only him and Alan Page have won it , since the start of giving the award out in 1957. LT, was fearless and fierce.
"He changed linebacking forever! He made a quantum leap in the game!"
The music perfectly fits this vid! Love this page
God! I miss this type of NY GIANTS football!
The way he just lit up that dude at 0:26 😰
0:26 you usually step in after your teamate gets tossed like that.... But when it's LT your like "brotha you're on your own."
Yes they all jump back 🤣😂
omg That was great! My fav player of all time!
best LB of all time... big bad men absolutely scared shitless on game day...
Very well put together. I've watched this dozens of times!
He was just so much better than anyone else it’s crazy
Best defensive player of all time
Cocaine is a helluva drug.
Kennedy, these folks haven't a clue, I really don't think they realize LT's nose was packed full of blow, it'll make a ordinary person man or woman into super athlete.
@Doc Santoro damn son, chill. Sure his comment is lacking any sort of logic but did you really have to go so, "internet dwelling redditor" like that? Sounds like you're on coke lmaoo
Doc Santoro he admitted he was on crack when he played. Accept it. Deal with it. He’s also a shitty human being. Always was and always will be.
Doc Santoro nahh he was good but you would be a fool to think that drugs had no effect on his game. How much we will never know, but it is enough to wonder how good he really is
They even had a joke in The Water Boy about him saying "Don't smoke crack"
awesome. Just plain awesome. LT, the player, the video, the music, the plays - great job
Excellent highlights of one of best linebackers to ever play the game... LT!
LT was a real man playing "pro-football"
Still the GOAT
I got to see him practice on goal line drills. It was game on with the offense. Intensity to the max. No one will ever have an engine like he had. A warrior for the game. Take a play off or tap out for being tired. Never. I was blessed to see this man play.
This is my absolute favorite vid of yours. Its damn near life changing
At 27 seconds in this man without basically any momentum flung a most likely 250 to 260 lb fullback to the ground like it was nothing
Forget about that. Look at what he did to Mark Tuinei of the Cowboys. Mark is an all pro 300 plus lineman and LT Tossed him like a rag doll. 1:55
If you slow it down and watch closely you can see he stepped into the hit and used the full force of his entire body, with all of his muscles working together from the leg up. You can get massive, instant power from that kind of technique, as Bruce Lee used to demonstrate with his famous "one-inch punch." I think Taylor was a lot like Lee: not just strong, but blessed with a kind of innate physical awareness that led to perfectly-coordinated strength with amazing explosive power. Add to that a bunch of cocaine, and you get something out of this world.
chills
Nice one John! So glad this vid is back on here. What a player!
Greatest football player ever period
LT was the most intimidating player to ever play the game the opposing team was legit scared of this dude including the camera man lol
1:27 LT bull rushes one of the Redskins "Hogs"-- massive 300+ offensive linemen they had in the 80's-- might be Jacoby-- and damn near drives him backwards on his ass-- about 2 yards on the initial contact--- LT was a beast-- too bad today's NFL is such a joke and nobody out there can do what LT did back in the day!!
He had super human strength ... the man was phenomenal! Once a century talent/human.
It’s Jim lachey
Yeah I noticed that too docinohio, that's just dumb strong!
docinohio you are correct,he went through him like butter !
The track is perfect to this and great video man. The fact that LT looks like he’s going in full motion still when it’s all slow replay tells you something. LT was a freak!! He’s the number 1 reason NFL teams pay top dollar to protect their QB, Sir LT!! Love this vid mate
Taylor was so good that other teams retired 56
Title should say "A real football player L.T"
The Best!!! LT
How is it even possible for a man his size to be that quick? A supreme athlete.
Greatest defensive player EVER. He is the mike Tyson of the NFL, he won a freaking MVP as a linebacker. Simply Dominant.
this guy makes jj watt look like a baby
Who is this JJ Watt???? Smh
Imagine LT vs anthony muñoz
unknownspecie 123 would be a great match up, I think LT would win majority of those battles.
The funny thing is LT wasn't physically huge or domineering...he used to fight with the coaching staff because he hated working out in the gym...his teammates said he hardly ever works out... everything you see on these highlights is pure natural speed, strength and agility...he knocked 280-320lb lineman on their asses like it was a joke...even to this day it's unreal watching him do it...pay attention to one of the plays in this reel...he blasts a huge lineman before getting the QB...the guy is so much bigger and stronger than LT but he literally buckles at his feet as if he was going to be thrown.
I watch this video before I go to the gym every freakin day...it gets me super hyped!
Wait, there used to be hitting in the NFL?
Beautiful, wasn't it?
@@JAWrightonline you got that right
Forget steroids look what coke can do....
I died XD
Lawrence Taylor is just a monster.. I'd be terrified to go up against him
silent mental aporoach how tf would he be better without it nigga??? those drugs made him a fuckin monster
OG Crying Face Meme , Because cocaine is a short high meaning he’ll crash during the middle of the game but he not only holds on but dominated. He would be 10x better without it but he’s still legendary.
Seriously Not Justin Roiland U made no sense at all
THE GOAT at his position. LT played with controlled choas and could read offenses like a coach. Other than mean Joe GREEN ive never seen a man so powerfull .
There are times when I have to stop watching this video compilation of The Real LT to keep my heart from leaping out of my chest!!
