As the Giants build for the future at the NFL draft, one of their franchise greats is dealing with a health scare.
Lawrence Taylor was taken to a hospital in New Jersey after suffering a medical emergency, TMZ Sports reported Friday.
The specific details are murky, but the website reported that those close to the 67-year-old Taylor don’t believe that “whatever he’s dealing with is too serious” and he will be released from the hospital soon.
Taylor was initially taken into the emergency room before being taken to a different part of the hospital.
The NFL legend has dealt with a number of health ailments post-retirement, and has also been open about his issues with drug addiction.
The Hall of Famer has appeared looking in good spirts at recent events, including when he joined Giants teammate Ottis Anderson and Mets great Darryl Strawberry at a “Team of Heroes” event at Pier 60 in Manhattan in December.
Taylor, the No. 2 overall pick by the Giants in the 1981 NFL Draft, led the franchise to two Super Bowls and won MVP in 1986.
