Recently retired running back LaDainian Tomlinson is moving quickly into his second career.

NFL Network and SiriusXM Radio announced Wednesday that the 2006 NFL MVP was joining the outlets as a broadcaster.

Tomlinson rushed for 13,684 yards, fifth on the career list, and scored 162 touchdowns, third-most ever. The former Charger and Jet announced his retirement in June.

Tomlinson will appear on NFL Network's new Sunday morning show, ''First on the Field.'' He'll also host weekly shows on NFL news and fantasy football for SiriusXM.
