I guess I am just hung up on the name or I have seen him too much over the past years. It is not often that I take a stand on a player but I will say this. LaDainian Tomlinson will be a 1,000 yard back for at least 3 more years in the NFL. He is a great worker, has great instincts, and is very good in the redzone. He may not be as fast as he was, but he is still very explosive. Even at this stage in his career, you could argue that he is the most complete back in the NFL. I wouldn't give up first day picks for this guy, but if he could be had for 5-7 million per year, hell yes. What other options out there are better?
I would rather be the team with Clay Matthews or Larry English AND LaDainian Tomlinson, than the team with Chris Wells or Donald Brown AND ???.
