Good morning, New York Giants fans!
The Athletic has Taylor ranked as the fourth-best football player of all time, higher than any other defender.
Taylor had 15 1/2 sacks in the final 12 games of the 1988 season after returning from a four-game suspension for violating the NFL’s substance-abuse policy. He maintained his elite level of play for two more years, culminating in a second Super Bowl win in the 1990 season. The eight-time first-team All-Pro retired after the 1993 season with 142 career sacks, which ranks ninth all-time.
“I got to see greatness firsthand,” Carson said.
