Taylor, Lawrence (Julius)

Taylor, Lawrence (Julius)
born Feb. 4, 1959, Williamsburg, Va., U.S.

U.S. football linebacker.

He played for the University of North Carolina, making All-American in 1980. During his 13-year career with the New York Giants (1981–94), he was twice named Defensive Player of the Year (1981, 1982) and once named Most Valuable Player (1986), only the second defensive player to be so honoured. The prototypical linebacker of his era, he possessed the strength to defeat blocks from linemen and the speed to chase down running backs.
