Lawrence Taylor is one of the best to have played the game. He redefined what it meant to be a linebacker in the NFL. As an NFL league MVP, three-time Defensive Player of the Year, two-time Super Bowl winner and a Hall of Fame inductee, it’s clear that he constantly impacted the game, and there isn’t much else that could be asked from a player.

In My Giant Life, (Triumph Books, October 1, 2016), Lawrence Taylor, with William Wyatt, reflects on the most memorable moments of his career. LT tells his stories with a sense of conviction that relays the same intensity with which he approached the game.
