Lawrence Taylor at 56: ‘Hard to believe’ I’m still alive
Posted Feb 6, 2015
Lawrence Taylor spawned a generation of kids and aspiring football players who wanted to wear No. 56 more than any other number, arguably more than No. 12 way back when for Joe Namath. You didn’t even have to be from New York. If you played Pop Warner football, or high school football, or college football, if you played defense, you wanted 56. And Wednesday, No. 56 turned 56.
