Favorite Players by Team
AFC - San Diego Chargers
LaDainian Tomlinson
At 29, he’s still in his prime, which means he’s still the best RB in football.
Tomlinson finished last postseason on the bench with a sprained MCL.
Though some critics ignorantly questioned his toughness, the sore knee was no minor ordeal.
L.T. appears fine now after sitting out the early part of spring.
Tomlinson is the league’s second most prolific pass-catching tailback (he trails Philadelphia’s Brian Westbrook in all categories).
Tomlinson has caught 458 passes over his eight-year career.
There are misguided whispers that the 29-year-old is slowing down.
A general rule of thumb is, when a player leads the league in rushing and scores 15 touchdowns, he’s still at the top of his game.
Technically, Tomlinson’s days are numbered, but only because he’s vowed to retire after 2011.
