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.
