Running back LaDainian Tomlinson has retired after 11 seasons in the NFL. Tomlinson, who began his career with the Texas Christian University Horned Frogs, was drafted by the San Diego Chargers in 2001. He finished his career with the Chargers on June 18 after signing a one-day contract. Tomlinson has many records over his career: he was the NFL rushing leader in 2006 and 2007, he rushed for 13,684 yards with 145 rushing touchdowns in his career, and he has also thrown for seven touchdowns. I hope the Chargers retire his No. 21 jersey.
