AUBURN, Ala. (AP) Former Auburn and San Diego Chargers running back Lionel James, who made a name for himself for being unstoppable despite his small stature, died Friday after a lengthy illness, the university said. Auburn announced the death of James, a 5-foot-6 player nicknamed ''Little Train,'' but provided no additional details. James played five seasons with the NFL's Chargers, who have since moved to Los Angeles, after being drafted in the fifth round in 1984.
