There’s never been anyone like the legendary Lawrence Taylor, nor will there be for quite some time (if ever). No. 56 struck fear into every offensive lineman’s eyes, as the New York Giants great proved to be the best defensive player of all-time throughout his luxurious 13-year career, which included 10 Pro Bowl nods, eight selections to the All-Pro first team, a pair of Super Bowl rings, and an NFL MVP trophy from the 1986 season.
He’s the best there ever was, and that’s why Josh Edwards of CBS included him on his list of the best NFL players to wear each jersey number.
