LT "The Touchdown King" Career Highlights! | NFL Legends

[@nengehtardzer2839]

His 2003 season might have been his most underrated one that he ever had in his career. Over 1600 rushing yards 100 catches for over 700 receiving yards and he put up those kinda numbers for a team that went 4-12 that year and ended up with the number 1 pick.

[@nengehtardzer2839]

2003 as a whole was the year of the running back in the nfl for sure

[@agonzalez8924]

I posted a similar comment on how the chargers were trash in tomlinson's first couple of seasons and how they over used him. That 2003 season is a testament to what I was talking about. Those stats might be the single greatest performance for a running back as whole for a single season, and this was years before he broke the single season td record.

[@michaelshields6326]

And didn't make the pro bowl.

[@Channel-23s]

A interesting fact is that LT is the first HOFER from the 21ST century aka he was drafted 2000+ and was the 1ST to be in a gold jacket

[@yerobalogun6896]

That’s crazy

[@realessayog6947]

I was blessed as a kid and teenager watching Marshall Faulk, LaDainian Tomlinson, Adrian Peterson right after... I think Derrick Henry is the RB right after. Amazingly consistent RB's breaking records which sets them apart from those 1-2year RB's.

[@All4mula]

Emmitt, Barry, Walter, bo, Dickerson for me

[@jacklane7489]

💯 real thorough breds. You have to give them the ball and let them run🏇

[@Montryall.]

Sorry I have to add Steven Jackson in there too. Man was a beast and broke Dickersons rushing record

[@My.IMMACULATE.Conception.8]

If SJ39 had what Henry has alas a Saffold and Pace he would have atleast 2 SBs

[@shawnheidingsfelder8179]

This video was also a sneaky highlight video for Lorenzo Neal (#47). Probably the last great full-time FB in the NFL. He was trucking people for LT, and kept right on moving. Teams just don't use a real FB very much anymore, and that's helped slowly kill the RB position. That big first hit is on the RB, not the FB leading the way. I got to watch most of LT's home games in college as well (TCU). He came in right after I graduated. No one could catch him if he got past the line. I saw his 400 yard/6TD game against UTEP. They had nothing to stop him. The crazy thing is, his Freshman season the team went 1-10, and they had him playing Fullback. Coach gets fired, new coach puts him at RB, and the rest is history.

[@Ginga]

You made a great point about the death of the FB position affecting RBS. It makes so much sense. I’ve been wondering for years why it felt like workhorse backs have even shorter shelf life than they used to. RBs used to pound the rock out of I with a FB paving the way. Now, they often run from spread and have to make a man miss or absorb a blow.

[@vaughnbutler6129]

Lo Neal and that o line were a huge factor and didn't get enough praise for themselves individually even with how much LT praised them.

[@TubThumping169]

The culture stinks, i think it's why good players sign there then just fall off the map. I've been following them close since 03-04 and the last seasons that really felt like contention were 09-10 because a lot of those guys were on the team since 05-06. Since then, it's just cool for them to be in the league and live in Cali I guess

[@armstrongQB1]

Can't believe he and Marshall Faulk didn't make the NFL's 100th Anniversary Team. Glaring omissions. These dudes were the best dual threat RBs in NFL history.

[@anitafloyd2554]

Faulk was great, but he only dominated with a loaded team. He barely averaged 4.0 yards a carry until 99 where he all of a sudden shot up to over 5.0 ypc due to the surrounding talent he had. LT dominated no matter who was around him.

[@RicardoHernandezGTX]

I think L.T.s greatest attributes was his vision he was fast, agile, quick and strong but his vision helped him set up the rest

[@watso014]

Completely agree. His skills were elite everywhere but his ability to read blocks and set up defenders was all-time

I saw Tomlinson play at TCU and I was a huge fan of him ever since. Even though I'm a die-hard Chiefs fan, he was always one of my favorite "non-Chiefs" Class act and one of the best, most complete running backs in history.

[@gridirongod4207]

He kinda pulled a Kevin Durant like move back in 2009. The Chargers lost to the Jets in the 2009 Divisional and then he joined the Jets in the offseason.

[@djmcneil1761]

[@bobbyjamesjr7817]

I swear to God man me too

[@thenumberquelve158]

The 2001 Chargers probably had the best back-to-back draft picks of all time. Ladanian Tomlinson, then Drew Brees. LT really provided some tremendous hype around the team, growing up in San Diego around this time, it was understood, he was THE man in this city. Safe to say his character matched up with his play as well. (Heck, he won Walter Payton Man of the Year the same year he broke all the touchdown records and led the Chargers to 14-2.) Of course, being a Charger, he has no Superbowls to show for it, but he really doesn't need it. He's just amazing.

[@bobbyjamesjr7817]

Wow

[@BigBobzilla69420]

As a lifelong Chargers’ fan, I needed to see this to remember what we used to be-after all these years upset by injury and incompetence, damn it’s depressing. Thank you L.T. for making my childhood. Also shout out to Daddy Phil for trying his hardest for 16 years

[@TexxVlogz]

Adrian Peterson

[@LUVG3N3SIS]

Fun Fact: He was going to be the cover athlete for Madden 08, but a fan named Nick Cupolo made a petition to get him off the cover because he did not want to see him suffer the Madden Curse. LT then talked to his agent, and EA had to take Vince Young.

Many times I’ve watched his highlights, I just knew from the start that LT was not only the future of what the Chargers was going to be in the backfield but he was the future of what the league was gonna be like for a RB. If it wasn’t for LaDainian Tomlinson’s versatility, RBs like Matt Forte, Christian McCaffery, Alvin Kamara, Austin Ekeler, Aaron Jones, and even Darren Sproles wouldn’t be here today. LT was that RB

[@GunadeTv]

Grew up a raiders fan and would jus watch lt run all over the place like a madman. His signature TD celebration till this day is my favorite celebration. I can say I was fan of him even tho chargers were and still are a rivalry. Really disappointing he never got a Lombardi.

[@agonzalez8924]

A lot of people forget that his first few years with San Diego, the chargers were absolute trash. Tomlinson was single handedly carrying their offense and the chargers were really abusing him with a heavy work load. The chargers didn't really put together a playoff contending team until about tomlinson's 5th-6th season, when he arguably had his best seasons behind a good o-line and competent offense., but unfortunately it never translated to playoff success. If I recall correctly, part of what helped them turn things around was the hiring of coach Marty schottenheimer, and then they had the audacity to fire him after a 14-2 season because they lost in the first round of the playoffs. Those 06'-09' chargers teams were probably the best their franchise ever had a winning a championship, but their garbage ownership found a way to screw it up. Tomlinson had a great career, too bad it was wasted with the chargers.
