Tomlinson honored again
New York ? With a bushel full of records and an MVP award already in his 2006 collection, LaDainian Tomlinson added the Associated Press NFL Offensive Player of the Year to his resume Friday.
Tomlinson, voted Most Valuable Player on Thursday, broke Shaun Alexander’s league record for touchdowns by scoring 31 (28 rushing) and also threw for two scores.
Tomlinson received 38 votes from a nationwide panel of 50 sports writers and broadcasters who cover the league. Next was Tomlinson’s former quarterback with the Chargers, the Saints’ Drew Brees with eight, followed by Indianapolis QB Peyton Manning with three and St. Louis running back Steven Jackson with one.
