Tomlinson to Retire


At the age of 32, LaDainian Tomlinson announced his retirement from the NFL on Monday. Perhaps one of the most versatile running backs in the last decade, LT is widely considered a first-ballot hall-of-famer. Tomlinson had his most success with the San Diego Chargers, winning the MVP award in 2006. LT joined the New York Jets during the 2010 offseason and has primarily been used as a change of pace in the team's running game.

On Monday, Tomlinson signed a contract so he could retire as a San Diego Charger. However, do not let the dark visor on his helmet fool you, LT has always been personal and is expected to make his retirement press conference nothing short of memorable.

While it's been some time since he's work Charger colors, LT is back, but this time to hang up his cleats. Expect him to transition smoothly into some sort of analyst role in the near future.

  1. One of the classier players to play in the NFL. I think he is the first NFL player that I can remember watching play in college and then go on to a first ballot Hall of Fame career. Maybe even the first in any sport for me. Great career. Always fun to watch. One of the best.
