The legend of the NFL Lawrence Taylor was among the most difficult strikers to have ever played in sport.
Taylor, 66, recalled a moment of his playing career against Joe Montana, where, after being duped by the legendary quarter, he issued the quadruple Super Bowl champion a severe warning.
“I remember playing Joe Montana, and I was chasing him, he came out, he hunted, he runs towards the limits. And just before he came out of the limits, I am just let go, you know. This son From A – He took this ball and ran another 15 meters, right?

“And I went to him, and I said,” Listen, hey, let me tell you something. If you ever start again, I will enlighten you. “And he apologized, and he said,” Dude, I understand. “”
Montana would have been intelligent to listen to Taylor’s warning, which some consider the greatest defensive player of all time.
Taylor then spoke of the quarter of the Kansas City Chiefs, Patrick Mahomes, and sympathized with the defenders of having to respect the rules while trying to slow down the quarters of the NFL today.
“Nowadays, you can’t even touch them when they touch the ground. What’s going on?
If Taylor was still playing, it would be certain to issue Mahomas a similar warning that he did at Montana.

Taylor is not the only leading football figure to question the rules surrounding the quarters that are jostling. Tom Brady shared a feeling similar to Taylor during an appearance on “The Herd” by Fox Sports in January.
“When the quarters become runners and they are out of their pocket, they should lose their protection,” said Brady.
“We are trying to protect the quarters, but the coaches call more quarter races than ever in the history of the game. So, who protects the quarter-tree? We try to say that the referees should do it?”
There were two calls according to which Mahomes was the beneficiary of the victory of the chiefs against the Texans of Houston during the Division of the AFC which sparked a debate.
Texans’ defensive star winger Will Anderson Jr. was reported for a boiling penalty for hitting Mahomes to the head zone while launching a pass, but to which Brady seems to be referring is the penalty that Mahomes received in the third quarter.
Mahomes rushed to the third quarter, and sliding, he was touched by two Texans defenders near the head zone while he was going down.
