One of my favorite LT moments... watch Skins fly!

Kenny Hill was a Yalie but he brought more of his Raiders pedigree to the #NYGiants. Hill got in a couple of fights on kickoffs vs Wash in 1985 & would get ejected, but rookie Kevin Williams' punch at Hill put him on rollerskates when LT got involved and stepped in. #GiantsPride

Man, #34 should've been thrown out too for punching Hill

#47 got the worst end of it though. Did nothing unsportsmanlike, but gets kicked/kneed by Hill and then tossed like a rag doll by LT.

I noticed the willingness to fight

went completely away the second Taylor got involved...

Yeah - watching #34 back up fast with his hand up

was pretty funny.

LT was so explosively powerful

Generated insane force and leverage at 245 lbs. I think Dan Dierdorf said he was the most powerful guy he ever played against.

Remember the time he went after Andre Waters after a cheap shot in the end zone on Joe Morris? Something visceral about LT’s appeal ... still my fave player in any sport.

ah LT. Love it!! Game set match. He tossed 48 on the

You're not seeing the complete story. Earlier in the game, Hill actually sucker punched two Redskins when going off of the field.

LT was just a freak of nature

Never lifted weights but was just strong as an ox

The 2 greatest

Football players I ever saw were Jim Brown and Lawrence Taylor. There are other greats that do compare, but they were the 2 best.

Dan Dierdorf

also said before they ever played against LT on film they thought he was "just another fast guy". When they finally played in person they couldn't get over how big he was.
Just an amazing athlete. Former strength coach Johnny Parker use to beg Taylor to get in the weight room. But eventually gave up saying "what was I going to tell him...it will make you better player?".

Yeah, that guy did a serious backpedal after LT sent the other guy flying.
