New York Giants Hall of Fame linebacker Lawrence Taylor was named to the NFL’s All-Time Team on Friday night, cored unanimously by a panel of 26 historians and experts.
As part of the league’s 100th Anniversary, the panel will reveal the team position by position through Week 17 of the regular season. On Friday night, they unveiled the finalists at defensive line and linebackers. A formidable bunch if there ever was one:
DEFENSIVE END (7): Doug Atkins, Bill Hewitt, Deacon Jones*, Gino Marchetti*, Lee Roy Selmon, Bruce Smith, Reggie White.
DEFENSIVE TACKLE (7): Buck Buchanan, Joe Greene, Bob Lilly*, Merlin Olsen, Alan Page*, John Randle, Randy White.
