Autographed Lawrence Taylor Jersey
Widely regarded as one of the greatest defensive players of all time, L.T. played Linebacker for 13 seasons with the New York Giants.
After an All-American career at the University of North Carolina at Chapel Hill (1978–1981), Taylor was selected by the Giants second overall in the 1981 NFL draft. Taylor was named both the NFL Defensive Rookie of the Year in 1981 and the only NFL player to win the AP NFL Defensive Player of the Year award in his rookie season. Throughout the 1980s and early 1990s, Taylor was a disruptive force at outside linebacker, and is credited with changing defensive game plans, defensive pass rushing schemes, offensive line blocking schemes, and offensive formations used in the NFL.
Taylor produced double-digit sacks each season from 1984 through 1990, including a career-high of 20.5 in 1986. He also won a record three AP NFL Defensive Player of the Year awards, and was named the league's Most Valuable Player for the 1986 season. He is a two-time Super Bowl Champion with wins in SB XXI and XXV.
