SAN FRANCISCO — Lawrence Taylor was in Las Vegas watching Von Miller mimic LT in Super Bowl 50, watching Miller relentlessly chase Cam Newton the way he chased John Elway in Super Bowl XXI, not to mention every other quarterback on every other Sunday.
We have announced plenty of crazed dog-linebackers as The Next LT, but no one has been or will be The Next LT.
Derrick Thomas was the closest thing to The Next LT, and Miller looks like the latest closest thing to The Next LT.
There isn’t a Giants fan watching Miller wreck the game for Newton and the Panthers who isn’t yearning for the good old days when the opposing quarterback was prey for a big, bad predator like Taylor, or Osi Umenyiora, or Michael Strahan.
