LaDainian Tomlinson will sign a one-day contract with the Chargers in order to retire with his original team. Tomlinson will speak about his retirement at a news conference later today.

LT was selected fifth overall in the 2001 NFL draft, and his impact was immediate. In his rookie campaign, he gained 1,236 yards on 339 carries, and scored 10 touchdowns. From 2002 through 2007, he averaged 1,569 yards and 17.5 touchdowns on 338 carries per season — one of the greatest stretches of continued productivity the NFL may ever see.

He has proven throughout his career to be one of the classiest players in the NFL. He once summed up his career in what is my favorite LT quote: “I am just a player trying to do what I’m told.” LT, your model of character, humility, and example of loyalty has been an inspiration to multitudes. God bless you in your next God-given assignment.
