LaDainian Tomlinson named NFL MVP

San Diego Chargers' halfback LaDainian Tomlinson's unbelievable season has been rewarded. Tomlinson captured 44 of a possible 50 first-place votes and was named the 2006 NFL MVP Thursday.

Tomlinson set the NFL-record for total touchdowns by a halfback, totaling 31 touchdowns, 28 of them on the ground. He also rushed for a league-leading 1,815 yards and averaged 5.2 yards per carry. He also led the Chargers to an NFL-best 14-2 record and a first-round bye in the playoffs.

However, Tomlinson's journey has not been completed yet, he says. "I would feel so much better about winning if we win the Super Bowl," said the 27-year old Tomlinson. "It would feel like it would be everything."
