Not only was "L.T." a touchdown machine, he worked with several charities in the community including the homeless. Incredibly, the player taking his place in the Chargers backfield used to be homeless himself. Ryan Mathews' mother, Tricia gave birth to him when she was 16. Born mulatto to a Caucasian mother and African American father who was more than twice Tricia's age, the child's father abandoned them. At the time, Tricia's mother was addicted to methamphetamine, and an aunt had thrown her out of the house. With no place to go, the family was homeless living out of Tricia's car. For four months she stood in soup lines for food, bathed Ryan in parks and slept with her son in the back seat of her 1969 Oldsmobile. Ryan Mathews grew up in Southern California idolizing Tomlinson. In 2009, Mathews led all of college football in rushing as a junior at Fresno State. After the Chargers released Tomlinson, they traded up 16 spots in the first round of the 2010 draft in order to select Mathews as Tomlinson's heir apparent. E:60 chronicles Mathew's remarkable journey to the NFL and special bond he shares with his mother. See less
