On February 22, 2010, after nine seasons with the San Diego Chargers, LaDainian Tomlinson was unceremoniously released. It's all business, nowadays. Forget about the fact that he helped revive the franchise with his brilliant nine-year career. But, it didn't take long for the New York Jets to snatch him up. Jets fans are looking forward to 2010, hoping LaDanian can help propel them into the Super Bowl.

Tomlinson, born June 23, 1979, has been a premier running back since he entered the National Football League. Frequently called "LT", he set several records during the 2006 NFL season when he scored a league-leading 186 points. He received additional honors by winning the NFL’s Most Valuable Player Award and the Associated Press’s Offensive Player of the Year Award.

LaDainian Tomlinson was born to Loreane Chappell and the late Oliver Tomlinson in Rosebud, Texas. His early life was full of adversity: his brother and grandfather died when he was a child, and his father became permanently disabled after suffering a severe back injury. Later, his parents divorced, and Loreane was forced to support the remaining members of the family by herself. However before leaving, Tomlinson’s father instilled an affection for football in his son.¹

Below are LaDainian's stats for his 2006 MVP season.
