| Lorenzo Neal Excited LaDainian Tomlinson Signed With The Jets | | | The voice on the other end of the phone was that of Lorenzo Neal. He sounded like a kid on Christmas morning, breathlessly talking about the great gift he had gotten from Santa Claus. "You're getting 'The Great One' in New York," Neal told The Post yesterday about the Jets' free agent signing of running back LaDainian Tomlinson. "The Jets are bringing in a guy that has that 'It Factor,' but someone who's a student of the game and is a worker. And he's a better man than a football player." Tomlinson will not only make the Jets better on the field, Neal said, but he'll have a profound effect on them inside the locker room. "When LT comes into that locker room the Jets are getting a leader," Neal said. "Is LT as good as he was? No he's not. But he's better than 70 or 80 percent of the backs in the league. Let's be real: He's not the guy he was when he first came into the league, but he still has it." Source: NY Post Latest Headlines on GridironFans.com: | | |
