Happy 46th birthday to five-time NFL Pro Bowler, three-time All-Pro, 2006 NFL MVP and 2017 Hall-of-Fame inductee LaDainian Tomlinson!

Tomlinson played 11 seasons in the NFL, earning his reputation during his nine years with the then-San Diego Chargers. L.T. led the league in rushing yards twice and rushing touchdowns three times as a Charger and was named the Walter Payton Man of the Year in 2006 (also his MVP year).

Which brings us to today’s quiz. Can you name the players with the most rushing yards in a single NFL season?

Good luck!
