Lawrence Taylor is a Hall of Fame linebacker that played for the New York Giants. In fact he is considered one of, if not the best, linebackers in NFL history.  But his personal life was a flat out mess.

It was known that during his career that Taylor liked to use drugs, particularly cocaine. After failed drug tests, partying too hard, frequent spending, and a few drug related arrests, Taylor lost it all when the IRS caught him committing tax fraud. In the 1990’s he would eventually file for bankruptcy.
