Lawrence Taylor, nicknamed L.T., is a retired American linebacker who spent thirteen National Football League seasons with the New York Giants and is widely regarded as the greatest defensive player in the history of the game. After an All-American career at North Carolina he was taken second overall in 1981 and was named Defensive Rookie of the Year. He recorded double digit sacks every season from 1984 through 1990, with a career high of 20.5 in 1986, and won a record three Defensive Player of the Year awards, changing how offenses were built to block him.
