Ladanian Tomlinson

Have you ever played in the NFL and still managed to be a big part in hospitals and homeless people’s lives. L.T has accomplished this and that is why he is my hero. L.T was born on June 23, 1997. His height is 5'10", his weight 221 lbs, and his age is 28. Not only is L.T. a famous NFL running back for the Chargers, but an all-star player on and off the field. He has many good characteristics. In high school he played linebacker in football but, managed to still play basketball and baseball. He went to high school at Rosebud, Texas and he went to college at Texas Christian. He also graduated with a degree. L.T. got started in his NFL career on 2001 in the draft. In his NFL career he has played running back and his number is 21. Every year he has rushed over 1,000 yards and his total yards rushed in his career is 10,650. L.T. also accomplished going to 4 pro bowls. Do you know how much money NFL players make and how not a lot of them spend it on other people? L.T. has changed that statement. L.T. has a lot of good things going for him in his life, but it wasn't always that way. He had a rough childhood. In his early life his older brother and his grandpa passed away when he was young. One of his other brothers died in a street fight, and the other brother is in jail. Not only that but his youngest sister passed away in a fire at the age of six. Ladanian Tomlinson is a great hero and an important guy to look up to. I think, and a lot of other people do to, that he is one of the best role models for hard work and confidence. He is loving, fun and a very nice person to be around. L.T. is awesome! He is a HERO!
