What happened: A resurfaced look at LaDainian Tomlinson's career passing numbers underscores how dangerous the Hall of Fame running back was throwing the ball. Across his career he completed 8 of 12 passes for 143 yards and seven touchdowns, almost exclusively on halfback-option and trick plays out of the Chargers backfield.
Why it matters: The line is a reminder of how complete a weapon Tomlinson was during his peak in San Diego, where defenses had to respect the threat of a pass on top of his rushing production. Seven touchdowns on only eight completions remains one of the more efficient trick-play resumes for any non-quarterback of his era.
By the numbers: Career passing: 8-of-12, 143 yards, 7 TDs. A 66.7% completion rate with a touchdown on nearly every completion, all coming as a running back.
What to watch: Expect the stat to keep circulating as the Chargers and NFL continue spotlighting Tomlinson among the league's all-time greats.
