Lawrence Taylor Biography - Growing Up, Limited College Opportunities, Chronology, The Next Level, Searching For Greener Pastures - SELECTED WRITINGS BY TAYLOR:

American football player

Lawrence Taylor lived on the edge. Quite possibly one of the best linebackers to play the game, Taylor starred for the New York Giants and set a new standard for how linebackers played the game. He brought about a new statistic (the sack), and was a dominant player whose personal life was plagued with substance abuse problems. His induction into the Hall of Fame, in 1999, was marked by controversy due to his problems with drugs.
