Episode 300: “L.T.: The Man, The Myth, The Controversial Legend” - Lawrence Taylor
Description
Episode 300 of “The Sports Experience Podcast” is here & it’s a celebration! In this very special episode we discuss the greatest linebacker and possibly the greatest defensive player in the history of the NFL: Lawrence Taylor!
Though he did not play organized football until his junior year in high school and did not play at a predominantly football-centric university, Lawrence Taylor was an absolute terror as a pass-rushing outside linebacker.
Taken second overall in the 1981 NFL Draft, Taylor was an absolute terror during his NFL career. Over the course of his first six seasons, he won Defensive Rookie of the Year in 1981, won Defensive Player of the Year three times, won NFL MVP in 1986 and helped the New York Giants win Super Bowl XXI!
Taylor changed how offenses play elite outside linebackers, and was a nearly unstoppable force. Sadly, his appetite for legal and illegal substances became national news during the rest of his career and after it ended in 1993.
Nevertheless, L.T. recorded 142.0 career sacks, 56 forced fumbles, earned 10 Pro Bowls nods and won two Super Bowls and changed how the linebacker position was played.
Join us while we discuss an NFL legend and controversial figure.
