Titans' Sharif Finch wears No. 56 to honor Lawrence Taylor

NASHVILLE, Tenn. -- Few defensive players in NFL history have made the type of impact Hall of Fame outside linebacker Lawrence Taylor had with the New York Giants in the 1980s and early '90s.

The legend of No. 56 is lost on many younger players, but that's not the case for Tennessee Titans outside linebacker Sharif Finch. Unlike most of his peers, he doesn't mention former Cowboys and Broncos pass-rusher DeMarcus Ware or Ravens outside linebacker Terrell Suggs as players he molds his game after.
