LaDainian Tomlinson NFL career

Tomlinson was selected in the first round of the 2001 NFL Draft with the fifth overall pick. The Chargers had the 1st pick in the draft that year but anticipated that they would be unable to sign the player who now earns the highest salary in NFL history Michael Vick, who was perceived as the best player in the year's draft class. Instead, they traded their number one pick to the Atlanta Falcons, for which they received the number five pick and other considerations. In this way, Tomlinson and Vick are forever linked as having been "traded" for each other, although the transaction was actually the result of traded draft picks and contract negotiations.

Tomlinson immediately became the starting running back with the Chargers and has started every game since. He has achieved immediate success in the NFL, rushing for over 1,200 yards and making over 50 receptions in each of his six seasons. He as also proven to be unusually effective as a passer, having completed 7 passes, 6 of them for touchdowns, without an interception.

In 2003, he became the first player in NFL history to rush for 1,000 yards and record 100 receptions in the same season. Other career milestones include reaching his 50th touchdown in his 4th season (60th game), receiving 100 passes and rushing for 1,000 yards in the same season (the first time this feat had ever been accomplished), and election to the Pro Bowl team in 2002, 2004, and 2005. Tomlinson's also tied Lenny Moore's all-time record for consecutive games scoring a TD (18).

On October 16, 2005, in the Chargers' victory over the Oakland Raiders, LaDainian Tomlinson became the 7th player in NFL history to run, catch, and throw for a touchdown in the same game. Despite breaking his ribs towards the end of the 2005 season, LaDainian continued to play and finished the season with 1,462 rushing yards, 370 receiving yards, and a career high 23 touchdowns (running for 18, catching 2 and throwing 3).

In 2005 he was nominated for the FedEx Ground Player of the Year Award. Tomlinson placed third behind Tiki Barber and Shaun Alexander.

In the 2006 season, he set an NFL record by scoring 19 touchdowns in a span of 6 games, including a franchise record 4 touchdowns in games against the Cincinnati Bengals and the Denver Broncos. He is the first to score three TDs in three straight games, and the first to have three games of four or more TDs in one season. He became the fastest player ever to score 100 touchdowns. On November 19, 2006, Tomlinson accomplished the milestone in 89 games with 102, beating the previous record of 93 games held by Jim Brown and Emmitt Smith. On December 3, Tomlinson became only the second running back (Eric Dickerson was the other) to rush for at least 1,200 yards in his first six NFL seasons. Also as of December 10, Tomlinson has 2,077 all-purpose (combined rushing, receiving, and passing) yards and 31 touchdowns (26 rushing, 3 receiving, and 2 passing). He also broke Shaun Alexander's 2005 record of 28 touchdowns in a season by scoring 29 on December 10, 2006 against the Denver Broncos.
