    I grew up Blue. I remember watching LT as a kid and how electrifying he made everything. The guy made football exciting for NY fans from the standstill it had been leading up to him. I started to think of LT as the monster from the Alien movies. His speed, approach and aggressiveness were frightening. If you watch him, from snap he pursues at a constant shallow angle to the field as if he is about to make a tackle and plays that way to point of contact. At no point does he let up or become even remotely vertical. Tough as nails - he went into each and every play like he was going to own it. Both of my sons played primarily D in their pee wee and HS days, and it always exciting whenever they were lucky enough to pull "56" from the jersey pool.

    LT was a beast, and I am blessed to have seen him play his whole career!

    @6:24 I’ve seen that clip countless times and could never, ever understand what LT was saying. Finally, someone out subtitles. Finally. Thank you so much. I can rest now.

    LT was the most dominate linebacker I've ever seen. I've never seen another player that could literally dominate a game.

    LT was a monster. He truly put fear in quarterbacks. Awesome to watch. The goat in his time.

    LT, you are the best defensive player I have ever seen (I am a lifelong Cowboys fan), we might have your jr............ in Parsons.

    Best football player EVER! Teams had to alter their offenses to TRY to deal with him.
