Tomlinson is just a sick running back. He is incredible. Especially for the fact that early in his career Tomlinson had a terrible offensive line and was still able to produce big numbers. Grange is a great player but when he got hurt his ability as a big time runner never returned. He is more known for his college career Imo.

One must also consider the time frame and style of play. 90% of plays back then were rushing and the defense knew it.
Red still has LT beat when looking at yds/TD.
