Tomlinson breaks TD mark

[Schneed10]

Yeah, he's got a case for Canton already:

- Fastest player to reach 100 TDs.
- Single season TD leader (did it in 13 games, Jim Brown never did it in his 14-game seasons)

Here are the career rushing TD leaders, ALL TIME:

Emmitt Smith 164
Marcus Allen 123
Walter Payton 110
Jim Brown 106
John Riggins 104
Marshall Faulk 100
Barry Sanders 99
Ladainian Tomlinson 98

He'll hop over Barry and Marshall this season, and quite possibly Riggins. Brown, Payton, and Marcus Allen are in his sights for next year, when Tomlinson will be 28.

Did I mention he's a much better receiver than Brown, Emmitt, Barry, or Sweetness?

As for yardage, consider this. Tomlinson has reached 8788 rushing yards right now. He'll probably finish this season with 9000+ after 6 seasons. After six seasons, the NFL's career all-time rushing leader Emmitt Smith had 8956 rushing yards. The second leading rusher all-time, Walter Payton, had 8386.

Tomlinson isn't just making a case to be in Canton. He's making a case to be the best RB to ever play.

I'd take it even further, he's making a case to become one of the best all-time athletes across all sports.

Agreed. A lot of people call Walter Payton the best football player to ever play.

Tomlinson will need a ring, and he'll need longevity. With those two things, he could grab best football player ever status.
