32 year-old Future Hall-of-fame running back, LaDanian Tomlinson, has made the decision to call it quits from the NFL after 11 excellent seasons. For the past two seasons he has been chasing a ring in New York with the Jets, but Tomlinson will always be remembered as a San Diego Charger. I remember as a young teenager wanting the powder blue and yellow throwback Tomlinson jersey after seeing him score touchdown after touchdown in it. The endless goal line jumps and breakaway runs electrified our generation and inspired so many young athletes in football.
His most memorable season was 2006 when he broke the record for rushing touchdowns in a season, but every season was a glory to watch. LT will be missed in the game of football, and his decision to sign with the Chargers this off-season before retiring is definitely the way to go. Tomlinson never got his ring, but in 5 years I expect him to be inducted to the Hall-of-fame. He has been the standard for excellence at his position for the past decade. LT you will be missed.
Comment below with some of you favorite LT moments.
Ladanian didn't do enough as a Jet. He kinda pissed me off alot in New York. Enjoyed his in Diego tho
