That year was the greatest fantasy team I ever had: RB 1 - L. Tomlinson 1800 yd 28 td RB 2 - L. Johnson 1800 yd 17 td Flex RB - S. Jackson 1500 yd 13 td The league hated me...
What a tremendous player. A Legend. The speed, the vision, the juke moves, the tenacity, the patience, the power. One of the greatest running backs in the NFL. San Diego Chargers ⚡
Sanders may have been the most purely athletic but LT had the ideal combination of similar agility and elusiveness but mixed with blinding fast acceleration and that vision and nose for the paint once they got into the Red Zone. I genuinely think he's the GOAT, I guess Payton would be in this discussion too. LT has the best fake step juke of all time I've said it forever and proof right here - 6:37
Every couple years I have to come back to behold the greatness of my favorite running back of all time and what he did for my San Diego Chargers. What a great time to be a Chargers fan. Thank you LT.
Hey man, who threw that block at the very end of that play? I saw him take the fake, and then somehow sprinted past everyone including LT to give him the block needed to score.
Facts. His production is heavily overlooked bc of how sorry the chargers were for half his time there. But dude is easily the best rb of the century so far. AP is a strong second but he never did what LT did lmao.
You could literally name more great backs in 00's Deuce McAllister Jamal Lewis and more but I think LT still had a better running back career than all of them lol
LT was incredible, but how about Fullback Lorenzo Neal? That man lead a few running backs to 1,000+ rushing seasons! The work he did for Eddie George and LT was simply amazing!
lorenzo blocked for so many great backs. by far the best FB of all time, without question. Lt was one of a kind, my childhood favorite rb. I felt like a kid watching this
day 3 of getting famous off of comments.. current sub count: 890 goal: 1,000 ❤ p.s i am not a bot I just really need help 🔥 if not than that's fine.. have a great rest of your day! 💯
My favorite player of all time, and the one who drew me to football. Man was the best at running, blocking, passing, catching, scoring, staying healthy, and JUKES & STIFF ARMS. Love watching him play
Haven't watched yet but LT is one of my all time favorite players and I was going to say, this better have his passes...and right off the bat, one of his passes, I'm satisfied
He broke huge runs every game when he was in his prime for those few years in SD. Amazing RB, one of the all time greats and a great guy off the field too
I agree dude was so explosive. I never got to witness him but the best running back I got in my experience of watching football was Peterson who was also very exciting to watch and one of my favorite players. I will admit Tomlinson was a beast.
My favorite player of all time. In that one season when he seemed unstoppable in 2006 is when I became a life long fan. I was only 11 years old and he was like a legitimate super hero to me. I used to call him Eyeshield 21 (after the anime) and he just seemed so cool and invincible to me. I wanted to be just like him.
He was my hero too. Having never met him, there's a saying " never meet your heroes" implying that they will let you down but I think LT is truly the exception. Seems like a good dude with big heart.
I remember the 03-04 season watching teams stack 9-11 players in the box and LT still just punishing them. He caught 100 passes and ran for over 1k on a 4-12 team that year. I wouldn’t accept anything less than top 3 RB of all time in the sport
That 2003 season Tomlinson has was unreal first RB in history to catch 100 ..he had 1,600+ rushing yards 100 rec 700+ rec yards and didn't even make the pro bowl that year
We TCU fans are incredibly prideful about LT. Its honestly still hard to believe a talent that great wore a TCU uniform and played for us when we were a really REALLY little guy still. Thank you LT for putting TCU on the map again in the modern era!!!!!
Rightfully so man. I remember reading a sports illustrated back in the day and LT catching my eye in the featured athletes section not knowing who he was but being blown away by his numbers and description of the player and type of person he was. That was prior to his last season and followed him his final year at TCU and his career in the nfl. Just an incredible talent and so fun to watch. I have him in my top three of all time.
I started watching g football in 02 when Houston got a team. I’m 29. So in my time, the two best I have watched do it have been this man and Adrian Peterson. LT was my favorite player! This guy was fun to watch.
It's forever debatable who the GOAT running back is but you can't have that conversation without Tomlinson involved in it. What a truly gifted player he was, fun to watch.
One of my best friends. Simply amazing, I was living my dreams vicariously through him and I'm still dreaming. Just an amazing person as well as the man he's become. Much love...
In my opinion he's the 2nd best to ever play the position behind Barry Sanders! LT had the perfect balance of agility, elusiveness, killer jumping ability with the acceleration and speed to hit home runs but a low center of gravity to sit you on your ass and one of the best stiff arms ever. GOAT 🐐 LT #21 ⚡
My first Charger game at the Q i went to, LT threw a TD to Gates!! He was the reason like many why were Chargers fan, but it was really long before that when Junior Seau visited my elementary school in 3rd grade. Still remember his infectious smile .Was always a Charger fan before i knew it! BOLTS BABY⚡️ ⚡️
Great video. Miss hearing "San Diego Chargers" on tv.. the local SD radio commentators..those navy blue and yellow unis..LT Killin it..brought back the good old days
LT got me into football. I remember my dad taking me to a TCU game when I was 6 during his rookie season the Chargers. He came back to accept some award and I was blown away that someone who went to college near me was in the NFL
I remember in Australia one time my Dad saw a game with me at the rsl or pub and said dam that QB had a nice throw. And I soon later learned that he wasn't a QB. What an insane talent.
LT. was *that dude* whether you were a chargers fan or just a fan of the sport. He was always exciting to watch and deserved all the praise he ever got. IMO he is Mr. Chargers!⚡️
Big 41 Lorenzo Neal!! Best blocking FB ever. Who ever was behind Neal was rushing over 1,000 yards that season. He was an absolute beast. LT even had Neal speak at his HOF enshrinement
I like to view or look at the the 2006 Chargers as probably the best ever NFL team to not win a single playoff game, one and done is what happened to them, but the Chargers have always had a legacy of shooting themselves in the foot in the postseason.
LT running for a TD with Rivers and Gates. WHILE John Madden calling the game. Right in the childhood . I’m not crying it’s just the onions .
This low key made me tear up with the nostalgia too.
Doug Flutie too lol
Classic football
Absolutely 😢
No onions, I'm in tears. LT was electric!
I think prime LT is my favorite player ever. That season when he scored 28 rushing TD + 3 receiving TD was one of the most unreal seasons I ever seen
@Cal L you right
2006 was my fav year! Still baffling that they didn’t win it
That year was the greatest fantasy team I ever had:
RB 1 - L. Tomlinson 1800 yd 28 td
RB 2 - L. Johnson 1800 yd 17 td
Flex RB - S. Jackson 1500 yd 13 td
The league hated me...
Yep, I watched every Bolts game I could that year, it seemed everytime he touched the ball he would score it
He also had 2 passing touchdowns that season!
What a tremendous player. A Legend. The speed, the vision, the juke moves, the tenacity, the patience, the power. One of the greatest running backs in the NFL. San Diego Chargers ⚡
One of the best that ever did it.
man LT can definitely argue he was the best in his prime.
Correction, THE best that ever did it
The best to

Lt in his prime was the most dominant running back I have ever seen.
He had 2 good seasons.
@@uglyhobo4602 hater
@@uglyhobo4602 he had 3 2000+ all purpose yard seasons and ran for more than 1110 yards and 10 tds in his first 8 years. That is dominant

There's something about mid 2000's football that was elite. The Nostalgia from that era is awesome.
Justin Tuck running stride for stride with LT at 1:10 is pretty stunning
All giants fans love Tuck man was superb
Tuck had the angle but still impressive
I caught that too. loll Tuck can move .
The block by Lorenzo Neal on that same play was football at its best.
Tuck was beast..
Every couple years I have to come back to behold the greatness of my favorite running back of all time and what he did for my San Diego Chargers. What a great time to be a Chargers fan. Thank you LT.
Do you still root for the chargers now that they are in LA?
smartest runner of all time. Extremely accurate angles and running paths that were hard to cut off.
great vision and elusiveness.
The vision he had with those mean black visors 🔥
Honestly one of the best non qb players to throw the ball. Dude was throwing dimes on the run
Not only a superb runner but an amazing receiver as well!!
Finally a LT compilation that includes the play against the pats (#6) on this list. SD fans were blessed to witness such greatness.
Hey man, who threw that block at the very end of that play? I saw him take the fake, and then somehow sprinted past everyone including LT to give him the block needed to score.
LT had the 00’s on lock even with Priest Holmes, Shaun Alexander, Larry Johnson, Ricky Williams & Ahman Green having historic years
That’s a lot of good running backs; LT was just different level.
Facts. His production is heavily overlooked bc of how sorry the chargers were for half his time there. But dude is easily the best rb of the century so far. AP is a strong second but he never did what LT did lmao.
You could literally name more great backs in 00's Deuce McAllister Jamal Lewis and more but I think LT still had a better running back career than all of them lol
Him and Ap
That one year alexander had was unreal
LT was incredible, but how about Fullback Lorenzo Neal? That man lead a few running backs to 1,000+ rushing seasons! The work he did for Eddie George and LT was simply amazing!
Dang, that's a great mention! 2 time All-Pro.
Lorenzo Neal was a monster man. Best fullback to do it along with Alstott.
i believe everyone running back that played behind him had 1000+ yard seasons.
It was so beautiful to watch Lorenzo Neal just plow the way for LT good times
Even more beautiful when he was plowing way for alstott in a 2fb system in Tampa lmao
lorenzo blocked for so many great backs. by far the best FB of all time, without question. Lt was one of a kind, my childhood favorite rb. I felt like a kid watching this
People forget how dynamic LT was in his prime

As a lifelong bears fan I always admired and respect to this awesome athlete
LT reminds me of Sweetness.
@@GoofysHatBand pretty sure Lt said sweetness was his favorite player growing up an model his game after him
Man, some of these plays brought happy tears to my eyes. I remember watching some of those plays live. My favorite all time RB.
Broncos fan here with nothin but love and respect man, one of the best ive ever seen do it
9:26 amazing block
He broke huge runs every game when he was in his prime for those few years in SD. Amazing RB, one of the all time greats and a great guy off the field too
Once he got into open field it was 30 yards+ every time. man was a legend
Grateful that I grew up in San Diego and got to watch this dude ball out every Sunday. One of the best to ever do it
LT was a monster in his day, I put him on my Rushmore of greatest RB ever
So tomlinson, sanders and....
One of my favorite Running Backs ever LT
Him and Barry sanders are my top favorites
@@bruh9954 nice
I agree dude was so explosive. I never got to witness him but the best running back I got in my experience of watching football was Peterson who was also very exciting to watch and one of my favorite players. I will admit Tomlinson was a beast.
When your favorite rb is a Left Tackle

Absolute TD machine. Bittersweet to remember how good of a team we had is San Diego back then always squandering it in the postseason.
My favorite RB of all time man he was a legend of the game
I would wait all week to watch LaDainian play. My favorite player for sure!
He was so good that even his 2nd and 3rd string went on to have great careers 📠💯
Michael Turner and Darren Sproles right?
@@Ninjafossils yes.. although I don’t know what LT has to do with them having good careers
@@The__Nation Basically saying that that team was stacked at the position with stars and he outshone them.
Sproles/LT combo for 2009 is probably the best RB Duo I’ve ever seen
9:26 You love to see that hustle from 85!!!
Eric Parker. Solid slot WR for several years.
9:27 bro that block by 85 for LT to score has to be one of the greatest blocks I’ve ever seen by a teammate 😭
Exactly my thought...The greatest hustle for a perfect block that led to a TD in history.
LT never got the recognition for how strong he was. He was not a power back by any means by man he was a powerful runner no doubt
He’s literally the reason how I became a Chargers fan. It’s been tough without him ngl.
"LITERALLY" though‽
@@biggalaxy9102 sure, literally.
the reason i love football. thanks for being so great LT
LT was one of my favorite running back in the 2000s

That 2003 season Tomlinson has was unreal first RB in history to catch 100 ..he had 1,600+ rushing yards 100 rec 700+ rec yards and didn't even make the pro bowl that year
That block at 1:10 made me realize why fullbacks are so important
LT is the reason i played football as a kid. The man was my idol back then
I hate that my man retired without a ring.
Had one of the greatest MVP seasons ever in ‘06 #BoltUp ⚡️
⚡ ASAP
I remember being in elementary school going into middle school watching him play still my favorite offensive player til this day
One of the best all around backs of all time. And from learning more about him after his career, a better person.
Agreed. San Diego was truly blessed between him and Tony Gwynn
My first football jersey ! My idol as a kid ! My best ever
Mine too bro I wish we could go back
I grew up an LT fan he the reason every kid wanted a visor back in the days. Very underrated defintly top 10 if not top 5 of all time.
#1
The most beautiful words ever spoken: "LT. . . cuts back"
LT was just different. He had such a graceful play style. It was less like running, and more like skiing downhill. It’s hard to describe.
Totally especially his cuts were so vicious yet so elegant
We TCU fans are incredibly prideful about LT. Its honestly still hard to believe a talent that great wore a TCU uniform and played for us when we were a really REALLY little guy still. Thank you LT for putting TCU on the map again in the modern era!!!!!

LT was the most valuable running back probably ever. He scored so many red zone touchdowns it was amazing
In my opinion he's the 2nd best to ever play the position behind Barry Sanders!
LT had the perfect balance of agility, elusiveness, killer jumping ability with the acceleration and speed to hit home runs but a low center of gravity to sit you on your ass and one of the best stiff arms ever. GOAT 🐐 LT #21 ⚡
Plus bonuses like catching ability and his arm; just so complete of a player.

Man he was soo much fun to watch!! Thanks for the video! Brings back memories!
LT won me a lot of $$$ in his prime. I had him franchised in my keeper league for multiple seasons!
Gotta give it up to Lorenzo Neal also for opening up a hole for LT who was tearing the defense up back then.
That block by Tim Dwight at 9:29!
Great video. Miss hearing "San Diego Chargers" on tv.. the local SD radio commentators..those navy blue and yellow unis..LT Killin it..brought back the good old days

9:25 little Timmy Dwight coming in with the clutch block!! 😅
heck of a block
Easily the best running back I’ve ever seen. Super explosive and an amazing all around RB
This just makes you feel good watching it man
I'm 35 years old. LT is the most complete RB I've watched since I started following the NFL in the 90s. No weakness in his game.
That was the best block by a wide receiver I’ve ever seen on play 6.
He single handedly won my fantasy league for me 3 years in a row. I hate the Chargers, but LT is my all time favorite player..
Totally forgot he ever played for the Jets.
What a player man. He and Brees are the reason I love the Chargers.
I remember in Australia one time my Dad saw a game with me at the rsl or pub and said dam that QB had a nice throw. And I soon later learned that he wasn't a QB. What an insane talent.
Thanks for all the Memories Lt21 Bolt up man
Love ya LT, made me love football. Happy birthday 🐐
1:08 Justin Tuck has WHEELS!
Greatest Fantasy Football season of all time. He is ,without a doubt, the fantasy GOAT!
11 years with only missing 6 games as a RB is an amazing stat on it's own
Lorenzo Neal was a beast at FB he cleared the lane well
Yeah, he doesn't get enough credit these days. Those two guys were a team.

Still got my LT jersey my parents got me for Christmas 2003... Too small to wear now but it hangs proudly on my wall. Maaaan i miss watching him play.
Watching this also reminded me how much of a beast lorenzo neal was ! And that 2006 team loaded
Too bad they didn’t win it all! When fullbacks was valued.
I like to view or look at the the 2006 Chargers as probably the best ever NFL team to not win a single playoff game, one and done is what happened to them, but the Chargers have always had a legacy of shooting themselves in the foot in the postseason.
Loved watching him play
Born in 89 and started watching football in 2002 LT is the greatest RB I've ever seen period. He did everything

LT and Barry the best to ever do it.
