For a snapshot of what made Tomlinson such a force, consider his 2006 season, in which he ran for a league-high 1,815 yards and set single-season records for rushing touchdowns (28) and total touchdowns (31), both of which still stand. That season, Tomlinson won both the Offensive Player of the Year award and the MVP award, winning the latter in a landslide over fellow vote-getters Drew Brees and Peyton Manning. The all-time leading rusher in Chargers' history (12,490 yards in nine seasons) ranks highly on the historical leaderboards: fifth in rushing yards (13,684), second in rushing touchdowns (145), third in total touchdowns (162) and fifth in yards from scrimmage (18,456). His style of running featured a jump-cut that made it very hard for people to tackle him.
