TAYLOR is Lawrence Taylor’s on-the-field autobiography—a high octane
ride through the life of the most dominating linebacker to ever play
the game. Featuring never before seen photographs, TAYLOR also includes
LT, a classic 60 minute documentary from NFL Films that highlights
Taylor’s greatest hits and interviews.
Leader of the New York Giants’ “Big Blue Wrecking Crew” Lawrence Taylor
is widely acknowledged as the most feared defenseman to ever play
professional football. Unleashed on the NFL in 1981, his instincts,
skills, smarts, and fury changed the way players, coaches and fans
viewed football. The personification of “shock and awe,” LT was equally
adept at sacking quarterbacks, intercepting passes, and forcing fumbles-
he created on-field chaos.
TAYLOR, who often played despite pain (torn shoulder ligaments, a
detached pectoral muscle, or a broken bone in his foot) was better
known for inflicting it with his punishing tackles.
In a game that had become highly regimented, Taylor took football
back for the individual player and showed how a savvy adrenaline-fueled
defenseman could be a titanic star.
