produced in multiple sizes \nthat serve different collector purposes. \nThe 8x10 is the catalog standard — \nthe format that fits in a collection binder, \nsits on a shelf beside other signed pieces, \nand presents the autograph \nat the scale most commonly associated \nwith sports photography collectibles. \nThe 16x20 is the display format — \nthe size that goes behind glass in a frame, \nthat takes up wall space proportionate \nto the name above the autograph, \nthat presents the photo \nat the scale where the player's image \nand the significance of the signature \noccupy the same visual weight. \n\u003cstrong\u003eFor Lawrence Taylor — \nwidely regarded as the greatest defensive player \nin NFL history, \nthe player whose impact on the game \nprompted Joe Gibbs to invent new offensive formations, \nwho won the NFL MVP as a defensive player \nwhen only Alan Page had done it since 1971, \nwho is on the NFL's 75th and 100th Anniversary \nAll-Time Teams — \nthe 16x20 is the format \nwhose scale is proportionate to the credential. \nThe white road jersey photograph \nat 16x20 is the wall piece \nof the career that belongs on a wall: \nframed, behind glass, \nat the scale where you don't need \nto approach it to read \nwhose signature it carries.\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003ch2\u003eThe Rookie Season — The Beginning Was the Record\u003c\/h2\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eIn the history of the NFL's individual awards, \nno player has ever won the AP Defensive Rookie of the Year \nand the AP Defensive Player of the Year \nin the same season. \nLawrence Taylor did both in 1981 — \nhis first professional year, \nhis first 16 games, \nthe first time NFL offensive linemen \nhad seen him at speed and at full strength \non a game field. \nHe recorded 133 tackles — \na career high that he would never match — \nand 9.5 sacks at a time \nwhen sacks were not yet an official NFL statistic, \nmeaning the total was compiled informally \nby reporters and statisticians \nwho recognized something unprecedented \nwas happening. \n\u003cstrong\u003eThe New York Giants had gone 4-12 in 1980 — \nfinishing last in the NFC East, \nthe worst record in their division, \nthe kind of season that produces \nhigh draft picks rather than expectations. \nIn 1981, the year Taylor arrived, \nthey went 9-7 and reached the playoffs. \nOne player, \none draft pick, \n13 wins in a single offseason's change \nto the franchise's competitive position — \nfrom worst in the division \nto the postseason in one year.\u003c\/strong\u003e \nGiants president Wellington Mara — \nwho Taylor credited in his Hall of Fame speech \nwith caring about him \n\"more than he really should have\" — \nwould later say that Taylor's arrival \nwas the single most transformative roster addition \nin the franchise's modern history. \nThe 16x20 signed by Taylor \nis the wall-format piece of the player \nwhose beginning was, \nby any available historical measure, \nas extraordinary as his peak.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003ch2\u003eThe Complete Player — Not Just a Pass Rusher\u003c\/h2\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe most available argument for Lawrence Taylor \nis the sack total, \nthe MVP award, \nthe formations invented to stop him. \nThe most complete available argument \nrequires two additional moments \nthat the statistics alone do not capture. \nOn Thanksgiving Day 1982, \nin a nationally televised game \nagainst the Detroit Lions, \nTaylor read a Gary Danielson pass \nintended for a receiver along the left sideline, \nstepped in front of it, \nintercepted the ball, \nand returned it 97 yards for a touchdown — \na play that a defensive end \nhas no business making, \nthat an outside linebacker \nin the \"read and react\" mode \nTaylor had replaced \ncould never have made, \nthat required the combination of football instinct, \npure speed, and open-field running ability \nthat made Taylor, in specific terms, \nthe most physically complete defensive player \nthe position had produced. \n\u003cstrong\u003eIn a 1988 game against the New Orleans Saints, \nTaylor suffered a torn pectoral muscle \nin his shoulder during the game. \nHe was fitted with a harness \nto keep the shoulder in place \nand continued playing. \nHe finished with seven tackles, \nthree sacks, and two forced fumbles \nin a 13-12 Giants victory — \na performance that the Pro Football Hall of Fame \nspecifically cited in his enshrinement biography \nas evidence of his \"remarkable strength \nand determination.\"\u003c\/strong\u003e \nThe 16x20 signed by Taylor \nis the wall-format piece of the player \nwho intercepted passes and returned them \nthe length of a football field, \nwho played through a torn pectoral muscle \nand produced one of the most disruptive \nindividual defensive games of his career, \nwho was not merely the most dangerous pass rusher \nof his era but the most complete \ndefensive football player \nthe sport has ever produced.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003ch2\u003eJSA Authentication\u003c\/h2\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThis photo has been certified authentic by \n\u003cstrong\u003eJames Spence Authentication
