Posted in CBS Sportsline’s Pete Prisco is out with his annual Top 50 NFL Players list, and the Chargers have three on the list, including the #3 player in the land – RB LaDainian Tomlinson. Here are the Chargers three players breakdown:
3. LaDainian Tomlinson, RB, San Diego Chargers: His failure to play in the AFC Championship Game hurts his rep some, but he’s still the best runner in the game.
11. Shawne Merriman, LB, San Diego Chargers: Merriman is a pass-rush force off the edge. His quickness and power are the perfect combination for the Chargers’ 3-4 system. You have to account for him on every pass play.
24. Antonio Gates, TE, San Diego Chargers: When the Chargers need a first down through the air, Gates is that guy. And he does it facing constant double-coverage.
