LaDainian Tomlinson will be the fifth member of the Pro Football Hall of Fame to wear No. 21 as their primary number.
Why did LT wear No. 21?
He said he liked former Detroit Lions great Barry Sanders, who wore No. 20, and Dallas Cowboys superstar Emmitt Smith, who wore No. 22, and decided to pick a number in between.
Tomlinson’s No. 21 was retired by the San Diego Chargers in 2015. He is also in the team’s Ring of Honor.
Tomlinson, a five-time Pro Bowler and four-time All-Pro, rushed for 13,684 career yards and 145 touchdowns in 11 NFL seasons, including nine with the Chargers and two with the New York Jets.
