Pete Prisco ranks the NFL's top offensive players at each position.

LaDainian Tomlinson, Chargers  
L. Tomlinson
(US Presswire)
 
1. LaDainian Tomlinson, San Diego: There is no debate at all who should top this list. He has a chance to break all the rushing records if he can stay healthy.

2. Larry Johnson, Kansas City: He's had two really big back-to-back seasons, proving that he isn't a one-year wonder.

3. Frank Gore, San Francisco: His breakout season came in 2006 and now he needs to show he wasn't a one-hit wonder. The bet here is that he isn't.

4. Steven Jackson, St. Louis: He was fifth in the league in rushing last season, but he also caught 90 passes.

5. Fred Taylor, Jacksonville: He averaged 5 yards per carry last season, rushing for 1,146 yards.

Next best: Brian Westbrook, Philadelphia -- He proved to a lot of doubters last year that he can carry a full load. He's also one of the best pass-catching backs in the league.
