LINK I remember him literally running over players. He was a bruiser.
Quote:
In the 1962 NFL Championship Game, played 17 days after he was voted MVP, Taylor delivered the most memorable performance of his career. In a brutal defensive battle, played in chilling temperatures, raw winds and on a Yankee Stadium field not much softer than concrete, Taylor carried 31 times and gained 85 yards as the Packers outlasted the New York Giants, 16-7. “Taylor isn’t human,” Giants middle linebacker Sam Huff said in awe after the game. “No human being could have taken the punishment he got today.”
RIP
