Stop us if you’ve heard this story before. LaDainian Tomlinson spent 11 seasons in the NFL. During that time he appeared in the AFC Championship game twice, losing both times. His first loss came after a devastating knee injury limited his physical ability. His second saw him stuff for just 16 total yards.
Retiring without a ring can’t be fun, but Tomlinson has a few accolades to keep him happy. Most notably he was named the league MVP in 2006, an honor rarely awarded to running backs. He was also named to the NFL 2000’s All-Decade Team. Next is an athlete who was one shot away from changing his narrative!
