The New York Jets made a slew of high-profile acquisitions this off-season, most notably bringing in former MVP, Walter Payton NFL Man of the Year and active touchdown leader LaDainian Tomlinson, who spent his first nine seasons in San Diego.
“I came here to win a championship, and I believe this team has the ability to do it,” says Tomlinson, who led the Chargers to two AFC Championship Games.
“I always wanted to live in New York and have the opportunity to play on that wonderful stage. Obviously, now I get that opportunity and I’m excited about it.”
