Twitter reacts to LaDainian Tomlinson being left off all-time team
It’s mind-boggling that a former Chargers great was left off this list.
The NFL unveiled the 100th anniversary running back all-time team Friday.
Among the crop who was a finalist, but did not make the final team was former Chargers great running back LaDainian Tomlinson.
Other notable finalists that did not make the cut other than Tomlinson include Adrian Peterson, Tony Dorsett, Marshall Faulk, Marcus Allen, Jerome Bettis and Franco Harris.
When you read the list of players, it’s all running backs that you’d think would make the list, but they were all drafted after 1990. Everyone that made it was drafted before that year.
“I’m surprised that there are no 21st century running backs on that list,” said Tomlinson, who started his career in 2001. Emmitt Smith was the (most recent) guy drafted that’s on the list. So that’s a bit surprising,” Tomlinson said.
Here’s how Twitter reacted to Tomlinson being snubbed from the list.
Can we talk about the #NFL100 running back list? First let me congratulate all the goats who were selected but LaDainian Tomlinson not on it?! Tell me what y’all thought about the list

LaDainian Tomlinson and Marshall Faulk being left off the NFL100 team in favor of guys who played before the moon landing is really funny to me

The fact that LaDainian Tomlinson did not make the NFL 100 All-Time RBs list is absolute blasphemy. 2nd for his position in total TDs. 5th in scrimmage yds. 2006 league MVP. AVERAGED 2,070 scrimmage yds/20 TD over six yrs. The greatest fantasy football player ever.

My dad and I were joking on Thursday about whether or not OJ would get through.
"They'll probably put in someone inoffensive like LaDainian Tomlinson, Thurman Thomas or Curtis Martin."
Nope. https://t.co/yZ2mdavMHm— Kyle Morgan (@KyleHypest) November 23, 2019
