re: Is Lawrence Taylor the best defensive player in NFL history?

Ricky Jackson (personal Bias)

Obviously a healthy amount of personal bias, but my old man used to say that Jackson was better at all other aspects of being a linebacker other than rushing the passer than LT. He wasn't a better player because LT revolutionized the game from a pass rushing stand point, but he was a better rounded linebacker.

I think he also said that he thought Ronnie Lott was the best defensive player in league history, or maybe it was just defensive back. As for me, I don't really know.
