sudden passing of former Chargers linebacker Junior Seau in 2012, he and his wife Susie hosted a Celebration of Life for Seau in Qualcomm Stadium. The event was seen and heard live by more than 150,000 San Diegans, making it possible for a grieving community to come together, heal and pay tribute to one of San Diegos native sons. The Spanos family is recognized as one of pro footballs most philanthropic families and one of Southern Californias most active and caring contributors. Their financial and emotional support of youth sports and education in San Diego is unmatched. In 2010, the Association of Fundraising Professionals recognized Spanos and the Chargers as San Diegos Outstanding Philanthropic Corporation, one of the most prestigious awards for community service. Im fortunate to be in a position to help people and organizations that need and deserve our support. My family is proud to be a part of the San Diego community, Spanos said upon receipt of the honor. The Chargers Community Foundation continues to be a leader in assisting schools, honoring volunteers, supporting youth sports and aiding critical causes important to the community. The Foundation and the Spanos family have provided more than $11 million to support a wide range of services and resources for programs directly affecting youth and families in San Diego county. The Foundations largest ongoing program, Chargers Champions, was created in 1999 specifically to help San Diego Countys schools and students. The program has provided nearly $5 million in direct assistance to local schools, teachers and students. The focus of Chargers Champions is to improve the fitness levels of students in the county. It provides grants directly to San Diego County schools for fitness, nutrition and athletic programs on area campuses. Although examples of Spanos largesse are too many to count, a number of efforts stand out. In 2000 local studentathletes received a giant boost when the Spanos family and Chargers Community Foundation supplied the initial funding to organize the first-ever freshman football and girls volleyball programs in the 16 San Diego City high schools. This major public-private partnership created more than 1,000 extracurricular opportunities for students. Youth football in San Diego has known no greater champion than the Spanos family and the Chargers. Their support of the California Interscholastic Federations (CIF) annual high school football championship games allows the games to be played in Qualcomm Stadium. The Alex Spanos All-Star Classic, the longest-running high school all-star football game in California, is another example of their support. This devotion to youth football led the national Pop Warner organization to name the Chargers its 2007 NFL Team of the Year. In 2007, when wildfires ravaged San Diego County for the second time in five years, Spanos jumped to the forefront with a $1 million donation to aid affected families and the recovery effort. He made an identical $1 million contribution immediately following the wildfires that hit the community in 2003. Spanos also is a staunch supporter of San Diegos Police, Fire and Sheriffs departments. Thanks to his generosity, Critical Communications Centers have been upgraded and mobile command units for the Police department have been purchased. Spanos financial support enabled local agencies to purchase wildfire fighting gear as well as other fire-fighting equipment. And in response to an increase in child abduction

The Chargers have become one of the NFLs most successful and respected franchises under the leadership of Chairman of the Board-President Dean Spanos. Spanos has provided the direction, resources and environment to build and maintain consistent success. The Chargers won 94 games (playoffs included) during the past nine seasons (2004-12), including five AFC West championships (2004, 2006-09) and three playoff games. Only four teams won more games during that span. Most recently, Spanos has overseen one of the largest transition periods in franchise history. In January, he hired new Tom Telesco and Mike McCoy to serve as the teams new general manager and head coach, respectively, completing a transition from one of the oldest front offices in the NFL to the youngest. Telesco (40), McCoy (40) and Chief Executive Officer A.G. Spanos (35) are the youngest such trio in the league. The additions of Telesco and McCoy have brought new energy and optimism to the organization and its fan base. Spanos became President of the Chargers early in 1994, the same year the team culminated its most memorable season in team history with an appearance in Super Bowl XXIX. Spanos leadership is felt throughout the National Football League as well as all Spanos corporate entities. As a member of the Management Council Executive Committee (CEC), he played an integral role in negotiating the NFLs current labor agreement prior to the 2011 season. He serves as chairman of the NFLs Business Ventures Committee, which has oversight regarding various league commercial activities, including consumer products, sponsorship, events, marketing and new business initiatives. He also serves on the Leagues International and Legislative Committees. In addition, as president of the A.G. Spanos Companies, Dean and his brother, Michael, oversee all construction operations nationwide. Spanos commitment to San Diego and the team is undeniable. He has dedicated a decade of hard work and millions of dollars to develop a plan to give San Diegans a modern Super Bowl-quality stadium and secure a long-term home for their football team. The reason for this bond: Dean, his wife Susie, and their two sons, A.G. and John, proudly have called San Diego home for more than 28 years. Spanos efforts to build a special relationship between the team and its fans have helped the Chargers become one of San Diegos most popular and talked-about institutions. These efforts were acknowledged in 2006 when the Chargers were named the Leagues most fan-friendly team by FansVoice.com. Nothing grabs the attention of San Diegans like the Chargers, whose games have become the highlight of weekends during the season. Television ratings of games are unsurpassed while day-to-day news of the team dominates local talk shows and newscasts. TRADITION OF GIVING Spanos has continued the long-standing tradition of community service and support that was established by his father Alex Spanos and the Chargers. Examples of the familys commitment to San Diego and the community are everywhere. When Dean and his family as well as the entire Chargers community were shaken by the
cases, Spanos hosted and paid for critical law enforcement training classes for the Sheriffs department. Spanos continues to be a major force in San Diegos business and civic communities. He has been a top contributor to Rady Childrens Hospital, the San Diego Blood Bank, the Huntingtons Disease Society of America, San Diego State Universitys Campanile Foundation, University of San Diego, STAR/PAL, the San Diego Police Foundation, the San Diego Hall of Champions and the San Diego High School Sports Association. Dean and Alex Spanos secured Super Bowl XXXII (1998) for the City of San Diego, a huge economic benefit for the community. Super Bowl XXXVII in January 2003 brought more than $300 million to the San Diego economy and marked the second time in five years that the San Diego region enjoyed the financial windfall of hosting a Super Bowl. COMMUNITY HONORS Honors for their generosity come frequently to Dean and Susie. They received the 2012 Herb Klein Spirit of San Diego Award from the San Diego Regional Chamber of Commerce at the organizations annual awards dinner. In 2011 the Salvation Army recognized Spanos and the Chargers dedication to helping San Diegos homeless citizens during their annual Golden Bells ceremony. In 2010 the American Diabetes Association honored Spanos at its annual Fathers of the Year Dinner. In 2007, the local Salvation Army named Dean and Susie as their Most Valuable Philanthropists. In 2006 President George W. Bush appointed Spanos as a Board of Trustees member of the John F. Kennedy Center for the Performing Arts. That same year he was the honored recipient of the Golden Achievement Award from the Boys & Girls Clubs of San Diego and Junior Achievement of San Diego inducted him into its Hall of Fame for his community leadership and specifically for his support of youth education initiatives. The Warner Award, the top honor of the national Pop Warner football organization, was bestowed on him for his commitment to youth football and its Little Scholars education initiative in 2005. The San Diego Chapter of the National Football Foundation also presented Spanos with its highest honor, the Distinguished American Award. In 2004, the Police Historical Society presented him with their first Cota Award for community philanthropy and support of law enforcement. Dean and Susie received the Harold Leventhal Community Service Award in 2003, the top national award of the Huntingtons Disease Society of America. Spanos has the unique distinction of being a second-generation recipient of the renowned Ellis Island Medal of Honor, so honored in 2002, 16 years after his father was similarly honored. He was also inducted into the DeMolay International Alumni Hall of Fame in 2002. DeMolay International is an organization dedicated to preparing young men to lead successful and productive lives. In 2001, the San Diego Hall of Champions Sports Museum presented Dean and Susie with its Community Champions Award, the Halls most distinguished award. BUSINESSMAN AND FAMILY MAN Dean Alexander Spanos was born in Stockton, California. He earned varsity letters in football and golf at Lincoln High School in Stockton. Dean later received Lincoln High Schools Hall of Fame Award, which honors alumni whose contributions and accomplishments are representative of the school. He was recognized for his achievements in the areas of business and athletics.

Spanos first win came with Green at the 1985 Bing Crosby Pro-Am at Pebble Beach, where he was awarded the Most Valuable Amateur trophy for supplying the most help to his professional partner. Later that year, his second win came in the 1985 Senior Players Reunion Pro-Am in Dallas, where he teamed with San Diego native Billy Casper. Susie received the prestigious Celebration of Life Award in 2011 from the American Cancer Society. She is a spokeswoman for the NFLs cancer campaign and is a breast cancer survivor. She also was honored as a "Woman of Dedication" by the Salvation Army in 2001 and has been named the Woman of the Year by the San Diego Leukemia Society for her philanthropic work in the community. Susie works with and serves on the boards of many charitable organizations in San Diego, including the San Diego Womens Foundation. She is a trustee at the Mingei Museum and an advisory member of Las Patronas, one of San Diegos leading non-profit organizations. Susie has been a driving force in supporting the San Diego Blood Bank and its umbilical cord blood program, helping the Chargers annual blood drive become one of the most successful in the nation.

Chargers most loyal customers whom he refers to as the teams life blood, Spanos has created the most attractive list of benefits ever available, including exclusive events with the team at Training Camp and Qualcomm Stadium, exclusive fan forums with players and key personnel, behind-the-scenes tours, and once-in-a-lifetime prize packages and opportunities. Spanos also works closely with the teams customer service, stadium and security partners continually searching for ways to enhance Chargers fans game-day experience and the teams Fan Conduct Program. Fan behavior is a strategic priority for the NFL and the Chargers organization. During the NFLs unannounced stadium security checks of all 32 venues in 2011, the Chargers had the most outstanding review and ranked first among all teams in the Leagues Fan Conduct Best Practices audit. In an effort to quench Chargers fans unending thirst for information about their team, Spanos created the organizations first digital media department. The department has been instrumental in providing an endless supply of unique content available only on the teams official website, while expanding the Chargers social media footprint. One of Spanos first big-picture decisions involved the development and introduction of the Chargers new logo and marks in 2007, including new uniforms. Six years later in 2013, he helped implement some minor tweaks designed to enhance the color scheme of the uniforms. Spanos also coordinated efforts with the stadium concessionaire to launch the opening of the Chargers Team Store at Qualcomm Stadium and he has worked closely with the merchandise partners who supply the store as well as the teams Online Pro Shop at Chargers.com. Spanos has continued the Chargers long-standing tradition of community support and involvement.

He also serves on the Board of Directors for the San Diego Regional Chamber of Commerce and the San Diego Police Foundation.

A.G. Spanos oversees all day-to-day business operations of the San Diego Chargers, including marketing, sales, public relations and community relations. He also represents the organization at all NFL and ownership meetings. Spanos was named executive vice presidentchief executive officer in July 2011 after serving three years as executive vice presidentexecutive officer (2008-10) and five seasons as the teams director of marketing programs and business development (2003-07). The Chargers bond with their fans and the San Diego community is always top of mind for Spanos, and the 2013 offseason yielded several key examples. In an effort to drive attendance, build a stronger home-field advantage and help minimize local television blackouts, Spanos spearheaded a rescaling of the stadiums ticket prices and lowered the price of nearly 10,000 season seats. From 2008-12, the Chargers were one of just five NFL teams that didnt raise ticket prices in that five-year period. Twenty-seven of the NFLs 32 teams raised prices, including many more than once. It was the second time in three years that Spanos lowered ticket prices. His decision to lower the price of 6,500 seats going into the 2011 season proved successful as it provided Chargers fans with more of the most affordable NFL tickets in the country while also easing the path to additional sellouts and live local telecasts. A prime example of Spanos out-of-the-box thinking took place in June when the team designated Monday, June 10 Thank You San Diego Day. On that day the entire organization ventured out in groups throughout the county, spending an afternoon thanking fans and San Diegans for their support while sharing the teams excitement for the coming season. The event drew rave reviews from the local citizenry as well as local and national media outlets, further cementing the bond between the team and its fans.

TOM TELESCO
General Manager
19th NFL Season, 1st season with Chargers ager Bill Polian. He is a first-rate executive, a first-rate football man and a first-rate person. Ive had the pleasure of working with him for over 20 years. I can assure you and assure all Chargers fans that he will do a great job for them. I had the privilege of working with Tom for seven years in Indianapolis, said former Buccaneers and Colts Head Coach Tony Dungy. He is a great football man but also a great person. He understands the game. He knows what good players look like. He is just very adept at identifying them and finding them. More than that I think he understands what makes a good organization. I think he is going to be fantastic for the Chargers. Im excited for Tom and excited for the Chargers organization. Telescos first season in Indianapolis (1998) coincided with the Colts drafting of another quarterback with the first overall pick in the NFL Draft, Peyton Manning. Since that time, he was involved in a number of successful drafts with the Colts that included the selections of four-time Pro Bowl running back Edgerrin James, five-time Pro Bowl wide receiver Reggie Wayne and seven-time Pro Bowl outside linebacker Dwight Freeney. A native of Buffalo, New York, Telesco worked as a summer intern at the Bills training camps during the 1991-94 seasons. At the same time, he played wide receiver at John Carroll University in Ohio where he was a starter for the schools Ohio Athletic Conference championship team in 1994. Telesco graduated in 95 with a degree in business management, the same year he landed his first NFL job as a scouting assistant with the Carolina Panthers. He spent three years with the Panthers, including 1997 as an area scout before joining the Colts in 98. Telesco and his wife, Larah, have three children: daughter Elena and sons Thomas and Nicholas.
On January 9, 2013, Chargers President Dean Spanos named former Indianapolis Colts Vice President of Football Operations, Tom Telesco, the teams new general manager. Telesco is overseeing all aspects of football operations and player personnel decisions for the Chargers. We set out to find the right person to bring about positive change for the San Diego Chargers, said Spanos at the time of his hiring. It was a tough decision, but in the end, all signs pointed to Tom. He is highly respected among his NFL peers. His work ethic is extraordinary. He is honest, humble, engaging and an excellent communicator. And, most important, he knows how to build a winning football team. Now that we have this critical piece in place, our goal is land the right coach to lead the team back to where it belongs: in the playoffs and to a Super Bowl championship. Telesco, 40, is the youngest general manager in Chargers history. He spent the last 15 seasons with the Colts, serving in a variety of capacities, including vice president of football operations (2012), director of player personnel (2006-11), director of pro scouting (2004-05), pro scout (2001-03) and area scout (1998-00). In Indianapolis, Telesco was a part of the decision-making process that brought quarterback Andrew Luck to the Colts with the No. 1 overall pick in the 2012 NFL Draft. Luck led the Colts to a record of 11-5 during his rookie season and a berth in the AFC Wild Card Playoffs. The Colts went from 2-14 to 11-5 in a span of one year as their roster went through a complete overhaul. At the end of the 2012 season, the roster featured 36 new players from the end of the previous year. Telescos tenure with the Colts was one of the most successful eras of the franchises history that also included a move into a new stadium, Lucas Oil Stadium, which played host to Super Bowl XLVI on Feb. 5, 2012. From 1998-12, the Colts went 154-86 and appeared in the playoffs 12 times, winning eight division titles, while finishing second four times. Those 12 postseason appearances included a victory over Chicago in Super Bowl XLI following the 2006 season and a loss to New Orleans in Super Bowl XLIV after the 09 season. Indianapolis 154 wins from 1998-12 were the second-most in the NFL during that span (New England, 168).

MIKE McCOY
Head Coach
16th NFL Season, 1st season with Chargers ly satisfying for McCoy, who had completely revamped Denvers offense into a read-option attack that meshed with Tebows playing style and the Broncos went on to lead the NFL with a franchise-record 2,632 yards on the ground. A couple of other Broncos players who starred while playing under McCoy included wide receiver Brandon Lloyd and running back Willis McGahee. Lloyd led the NFL in receiving yards (1,448) in 2010 and earned his rst Pro Bowl selection, while also becoming just the fourth wide receiver in team history to receive Associated Press All-Pro honors and McGahee rushed for 1,199 yards in 2011 to earn his second-career Pro Bowl selection. McCoy came to Denver after the 08 season, becoming Denvers offensive coordinator and quarterbacks coach. In his rst season with the Broncos, quarterback Kyle Orton set career highs in every major passing category and two Broncos offensive players, wide receiver Brandon Marshall and left tackle Ryan Clady, earned Pro Bowl honors. Marshall caught 101 passes that season, tied for third in the NFL, and set an NFL record with 21 catches in a game against Indianapolis, while Clady added rst-team Associated Press AllPro honors to his Pro Bowl selection. Running back Knowshon Moreno also shined under McCoy, earning All-Rookie honors after leading the leagues rookies in rushing yards, total yards from scrimmage and total touchdowns. McCoy played quarterback at Long Beach State and the University of Utah before signing with the Broncos as an undrafted free agent in 1995. He ended up spending his rookie season on the practice squad in Green Bay and then had stops with NFL Europes Amsterdam Admirals, his hometown San Francisco 49ers and the Philadelphia Eagles before concluding his playing career with the Canadian Football Leagues Calgary Stampeders in 1999. McCoy transitioned into coaching a year later, joining the Carolina Panthers as an offensive assistant in 2000. Four weeks into his rst season with the Panthers however, he was elevated to quarterbacks coach and helped Steve Beuerlein to a 3,730-yard season that ranked seventh in the NFL. McCoy would end up spending nine seasons in Carolina, serving as wide receivers coach (2001), quarterbacks coach (2002-08) and passing game coordinator (2007-08). The Panthers totaled three playoff appearances, two division titles, two NFC Championship Game appearances and a berth in Super Bowl XXXVIII (2003) during McCoys nine years on the staff. McCoys main student in Carolina was quarterback Jake Delhomme, a Pro Bowl pick in 2005 who passed for more than 3,000 yards four times under his watch. Delhomme enjoyed his best season for the Panthers in 2004, registering personal bests in passing yards (3,886) and touchdown passes (29), totals that both ranked second in Panthers history. A year later, the Panthers went 11-5 and advanced to the NFC Championship Game behind Delhomme, who earned his rst Pro Bowl nod after ranking fourth in the NFL with 24 touchdown passes. McCoy did some of his best coaching with the Panthers in 2007 when the team went a franchise-best 12-4 in the regular season and earned a rst-round bye in the playoffs. Injuries forced the Panthers to start four different quarterbacks (none for more than three games in a row) during that 07 season and Carolina became the rst NFL team in 10 years to win at least one game with four different starters at quarterback (Delhomme, David Carr, Matt Moore and Vinny Testaverde).

On Jan. 15, 2013, Chargers President Dean Spanos introduced former Denver Broncos Offensive Coordinator Mike McCoy as the 15th head coach in team history. We set out to nd the right man to lead the San Diego Chargers on the eld and that man is Mike McCoy, Spanos said. Mike has all of the qualities we were looking for in a head coach and a leader. He has a very structured vision about how to build and run a football team. Mike and (new General Manager) Tom (Telesco) think very much alike and share very similar beliefs. Mike has shown he has one of the most innovative minds in football. He has a track record of building offenses and maximizing the abilities of his players. Hes a devout family man and understands the value of building and maintaining a family environment here. Mike is energetic, enthusiastic, forward-thinking, and a team builder. Bottom line, hes a leader. And hes charismatic. I know our fans will enjoy getting to know Mike and watching what he does with the Chargers. McCoy, 41, comes to the Chargers from Denver, where he helped the Broncos to their second-highest win total in franchise history as they went 13-3 and entered the playoffs as the No. 1 seed in the AFC. The Broncos won 11 straight games to end the regular season, the second-longest streak in team history, and became only the seventh Super Bowl-era team to win their nal 11 contests. Ive known Mike for many years and believe he is a tremendous coach, said Broncos coach John Fox. We spent nearly a decade coaching together, beginning in Carolina when he was an assistant working with the quarterbacks. Hes going to make an excellent head coach and is certainly qualied for the position. Mike understands offenses in this league. Beyond that, hes got a great football mind. His preparation and detailhis level of organizationis very strong. With McCoy at the helm of the Broncos offense, quarterback Peyton Manning threw a team-record 37 touchdown passes, while posting the second-best season of his career in yards (4,659) and completion percentage (68.6%). The Broncos ranked fourth in the NFL in total offense and their passing game featured a pair of standout receivers in Demaryius Thomas and Eric Decker, who combined to become the youngest receiving duo in NFL history to each top 1,000 yards and 10 touchdowns. Thomas led the way with 1,434 yards and 10 scores on 94 catches, while Decker scored 13 times while hauling in 85 passes for 1,064 yards. Injuries hampered Denvers running backs corps during the season but the group was resilient and combined to rush for 1,832 yards and 12 touchdowns. Mikes a good leader, said Manning. Hes had some good coaches that have been mentors to him; different coaches that hes worked with in his years in the NFL that I think hes incorporated some of their leadership philosophies and his own philosophy. The 2011 season was a storybook one in Denver as McCoy helped the Broncos reach the AFC Divisional Playoffs after winning their rst AFC West title since 2005. The Broncos upset the heavily-favored Pittsburgh Steelers in the Wild Card Playoffs at Sports Authority Field with quarterback Tim Tebow throwing an 80-yard touchdown pass to Thomas on the rst play of overtime. The success of the 11 season was particular-
McCoy is the second-youngest active head coach in the NFL and the second-youngest in team history. Al Saunders was 39 years old when he became head coach in 1986.
A native of San Francisco, McCoy and his wife, Kellie, have a daughter, Liv, and a son, Luke.

One of the feel-good stories to come out of San Diego in 2012 was the arrival of wide receiver Danario Alexander. Cast aside by his former team after a couple of injury shortened seasons, the Chargers took a chance on the lanky pass-catcher and he rewarded them with one of the best half-seasons in recent memory. Alexander played in 10 games for the Chargers and quickly became one of Philip Rivers favorite targets. He teamed with Malcom Floyd to give the Bolts a pair of six-foot-five receivers who could stretch the field. Alexander caught 37 passes for 658 yards and seven touchdowns, which tied for most on the team and were the third-most in the NFL by any player after Nov. 1. Alexander grew up in Marlin, Texas where he idolized the Dallas Cowboys and their talented trio of Troy Aikman, Emmitt Smith and Michael Irvin. He paid particular close attention to Irvin and NFL great Randy Moss and patterned his game after them. At Marlin High School, Alexander was a three-sport standout in football, baseball and track & field. He entered high school as a 5-9, 105 pound freshman and blossomed into a 6-5, 215 pounder by his senior year. An outstanding senior year at Marlin High led Alexander to the University of Missouri, where he had an up and down career. Alexander endured three surgeries to his left knee before exploding as a senior and posting one of the best seasons in NCAA Football Bowl Subdivision (formerly Division I-A) history. He finished his senior campaign in 2009 with 113 catches for an NCAA-leading 1,781 yards and 14 touchdowns. His yardage total was ninth-most all-time at the FBS level, while his receptions tied for 18th and his yards per game average ranked 20th. Despite an outstanding senior season, the NFL Draft came TRANSACTION HISTORY: Signed with St. Louis as undrafted rookie, Aug. 22, 2010...waived Sept. 4...re-signed to Rams practice squad Sept. 6...signed to active roster Oct. 12... waived Aug. 27, 2012...signed with Chargers, Oct. 22...re-signed with Chargers, April 25, 2013. 2012: Caught five passes for career-high 134 yards, including career-long 80-yard touchdown on third play of game Nov. 11 at Tampa Bay...two second-half touchdowns (8 and 21 yards) and led team with seven catches for 96 yards Nov. 18 at Denver...game-high 102 yards on six receptions Dec. 2 vs. Cincinnati...led team with two touchdown catches (39 and 15 yards) in 34-24 win at Pittsburgh Dec. 9...targeted team-high 11 times vs. Steelers...37-yard touchdown catch gave Chargers 17-14 third-quarter lead in Dec. 23 win at New York Jets.. .closed out season with 34-yard touchdown catch for 24-7 third-quarter lead Dec. 30 vs. Oakland...was seventh touchdown catch over final eight games. 2011: First-career 100yard game (122 yards) Sept. 19 vs. New York Giants, including season-long 68-yard catch and 19-yard touchdown...teamhigh 91 yards on six catches Oct. 16 at Green Bay...second touchdown of season (25 yards) Dec. 18 vs. Cincinnati. 2010: Spent Weeks 1-5 on practice squad...NFL debut Oct. 17 vs. San Diego and led Rams with four catches for 72 yards, including 38-yard touchdownseason-high 99 yards on six catches in first-career start Dec. 26 vs. San Francisco.
and went without Alexander hearing his name called, partly due to a knee injury he suffered at the Senior Bowl and a subsequent fourth operation on his left knee. He ended up signing late as an undrafted free agent with the in-state St. Louis Rams but was way behind in his NFL development. Alexander started the season on the Rams practice squad, but he worked hard and earned a promotion to the active roster in mid-October. He even was given the nickname DX Missile. Coincidentally, his first NFL game came on Oct. 17, 2010 against the Chargers and Alexander caught a 38-yard touchdown pass in the game to help lead the Rams to a 20-17 victory. Alexander spent two injury-shortened years with the Rams and when he suffered a hamstring injury in 2012, the team opted to part ways with the Texas native. Alexander spent the next several months recovering and had a few NFL tryouts, including one with the Chargers in mid-October. After the tryout, he found himself at the airport on his way back to St. Louis when his agent called and told Alexander that the Chargers wanted to sign him. He put pen to paper on Oct. 22 and the rest of the season was one of storybook proportion. Alexander studied sociology at Missouri. After he is done playing football, he wants to return to school for a graduate degree and possibly attend medical school to study orthopedics. One of Alexanders closest friends is Philadelphia Eagles wide receiver and former Missouri teammate, Jeremy Maclin. For the last two years, Alexander has hosted a football camp in his hometown of Marlin, Tex. Maclin and a number of NFL stars, including Chargers teammates Eddie Royal and Mike Willie, lent their expertise at his 2013 camp in June. Away from football, Alexander enjoys spending time with his family and playing golf. COLLEGE: All-America as senior after leading nation in receiving with 113 catches for 1,781 yards...finished career with 191 catches for 2,778 yards and 22 touchdowns in four seasons at Missouri.
In April, Alexander took batting practice before a San Diego Padres game at Petco Park and he hit two home runs during his turn in the cage. In May, Alexander threw out the first pitch before a game against St. Louis. Photo: San Diego Padres

Baxter gives the Chargers an experienced interior lineman who can play both center and guard as well as contributing on special teams. The 6-3, 310-pounder has long been known as a tough, hard-nosed competitor. As a child, he was thrown out of a little league baseball game for mowing over a catcher with a shoulder-first slide into home. In high school, he was a force both on the football field and the wrestling mat, where he posted a 37-7 record as a senior.

BRONT BIRD
Inside Linebacker 6-4, 250 2nd NFL Season 3rd with Chargers Free Agent - 12 Texas Tech Permian HS Odessa, Tex.
One of the Chargers toughest cuts at the end of training camp in 2012 was the decision to waive Bird. The former Texas Tech Red Raider and graduate of the famed Permian High School in Odessa, Texas, had an outstanding camp and preseason, but he ultimately became a victim of the numbers game. Unsure of his NFL future, Bird moved to Williston, North Dakota and entered the private sector, overseeing a wastewater treatment business that he started with several current and former teammates. He also spent time in his native Texas, where he is part-owner of the Right Cross Boxing Gym.

Then in late November when injuries began to deplete the teams linebacking corps, Bird received a call from the Chargers and within a day he was back in San Diego on the practice field. Bird played in the Chargers final five games and he contributed with a couple of big performances in two late-season wins. His first career interception off Pittsburghs Ben Roethlisberger helped seal a Dec. 9 win that was the Chargers first ever regular-season win in the Steel City, and his career-high seven-tackle effort against Oakland helped the Bolts close out the 2012 season with a 24-21 win over their arch rivals.

RONNIE BROWN
Running Back 6-0, 223 9th NFL Season 2nd with Chargers UFA (Philadelphia) - 12 Auburn Cartersville HS Cartersville, Ga.
Brown returned to the Chargers in March, agreeing to a new one-year contract. The ninth-year pro played in 14 games for the Bolts in 2012 and he was utilized primarily for his strength as a third-down back, tying for second on the team with 49 receptions, good for 371 yards. In 2005, Miami selected Brown with the second overall pick in the NFL Draft. He played six seasons in Miami, rushing for 4,815 yards and 36 touchdowns, while catching 184 passes for 1,491 yards and a pair of scores. He still ranks third on the Dolphins all-time list for rushing yards and touchdowns, and is tied with Hall of Fame running back Larry Csonka for the second-most 100-yard rushing games in team history. From 2005-07, Brown averaged better than 4.0 yards per carry for the Dolphins, becoming the teams first back to do so for three-straight seasons since 1983-85. He posted his only 1,000-yard season in 2006, rushing for 1,008 yards, and he was selected for the Pro Bowl in 2008 after scoring a career-high 10 touchdowns. A native of Cartersville, Ga., Brown was the states 2A Player of the Year in football as a senior at Cartersville High.

also was a stellar baseball player who was drafted by Major League Baseballs Seattle Mariners in the 50th round of the 2000 draft. Brown bypassed the major leagues to attend Auburn where he became a two-time All-SEC pick. In Sept. 2010, Brown started the Ronnie Brown Project and a campaign entitled 23 Ways to Stop Youth Violence. It was a project with one main goal: to stop violence in schools. His target was middle and high school students in Miami-Dade and Broward Counties in Florida, and Brown worked closely with the Jason Taylor Foundation, Teen Truth Live and the Miami-Dade Violence Intervention Project to make the program a success. Brown was a communications major at Auburn. During his junior year, he interned at the Auburn Network, editing and producing highlight films. Brown and his wife, Taylor, his college sweetheart, still attend Auburn football games when the schedule permits. In March, the couple celebrated the birth of their first child, son Dillon Rhys.

VINCENT BROWN
Wide Receiver 5-11, 190 3rd NFL Season 3rd with Chargers Draft 3A- 11 San Diego State Rancho Cucamonga HS Rancho Cucamonga, Calif.
Vincent Brown was off to a lightning-fast start in 2012 when in an instant, his season suddenly came to an end. It happened that fast. Brown opened the 12 preseason with a big effort against Green Bay, leading all receivers with four catches for 81 yards. Then just nine days later in the third quarter of the teams second preseason game against Dallas, Brown caught an 18-yard touchdown pass to give the Bolts a 10-7 lead, but while being tackled from behind after making the catch, Brown suffered a broken left ankle. Initially, there was hope of a return in 2012 but the injury took longer than expected to heal and Brown was lost for the season. His speed and athleticism were sorely missed. Brown worked hard to rehabilitate his ankle and actually was able to return to practice late in the 12 season. With those reps and a full offseason under his belt, he is excited about the prospects of returning to the level that prompted the Chargers to select the former San Diego State Aztec in the third round in the 2011 NFL Draft. As a rookie, Brown averaged an impressive 17.3 yards per catch, despite being thrown right into the action as a result of the NFL Lockout. He finished his rookie season with 19 TRANSACTION HISTORY: Third-round pick (82), April 29, 2011...signed July 29, 2011. 2012: Placed on Injured-Reserve Sept. 5 with designation for possible return but did not return to field. 2011: First NFL catch on third-down helped sustain eld goal drive during Oct. 2 win vs. Miamilater 20-yarder on 3rd-and-15 kept third-quarter touchdown drive moving...rst-career start Nov. 6 vs. defending Super Bowl Champion Green Bay Packers... rst-career touchdown (30 yards) Nov. 10 vs. Oakland...two series later, second apparent TD (33 yarder) taken away by instant replay reversal...22-yard touchdown catch Dec. 5 in ESPN Monday Night Football game at Jacksonville gave Bolts 17-14 second-quarter lead.
catches for 329 yards and the Chargers were looking forward to big things in 2012. When the Chargers drafted Brown, he became the 14th former Aztec drafted by the team, and the first since quarterback Jesse Freitas in 1974. A two-time All-Mountain West Conference pick, Brown left school as the third all-time leading receiver in San Diego State history with 209 catches and 3,110 yards. Brown studied philosophy at San Diego State and became the first member of his family to graduate from college when he earned his degree in May 2012. He completed his coursework at the conclusion of his rookie season with the Chargers and while doing so, co-authored an article that appeared in the Journal of the Philosophy of Sport in September 2012. So excited were San Diegans that Brown was selected by his hometown team that in Sept. 2011, he and teammate Shareece Wright were invited to throw out the first pitch before a Padres game at Petco Park. Nicknamed V.J., Brown enjoys cooking, playing cards and dominoes, listening to music and playing the drums. He is a very talented drummer who learned to play when he was six years old.

DEON BUTLER
Wide Receiver 5-10, 182 4th NFL Season 1st with Chargers Free Agent - 13 Penn State Hylton HS Woodbridge, Va.
The Chargers added speed to the squad in April when they signed former Seattle Seahawk Deon Butler. A native of Woodbridge, Va., Butler enrolled at Penn State as a walk-on cornerback and left the State College, Pa. campus as the Nittany Lions all-time leading receiver. He made an immediate impact, setting a freshman record with nine touchdown catches. The Seahawks drafted him in the third-round in 2009, trading away three picks to move up in the draft to make that selection, and Butler played in all 16 games as a rookie. A year later, he set career highs with 36 catches, 385 yards and four touchdowns, but he suffered a broken leg after catching a two-yard touchdown pass late in a December game against NFC West rival San Francisco. That injury ended up costing Butler the remainder of the 2010 season and most of the 2011 season while he recovered. Butler was released at the end of training camp in 2012, but the Seahawks re-signed him late in the season as injuries depleted their wide receivers corps and Butler was on the roster when Seattle traveled to TRANSACTION HISTORY: Third-round pick (91) by Seattle, April 26, 2009...signed July 24...waived Aug. 31, 2012... re-signed with Seattle, Dec. 15...waived Dec. 24 and resigned Dec. 28...contract expired March 12, 2013...signed with Chargers, April 9. 2012: Saw lone game action Dec. 23 vs. Seattle but did not record any statistics...inactive for Wild Card and Divisional Playoff games. 2011: Began season on Physically Unable to Perform list while recovering from broken leg that ended 2010 season...saw action final five games and had two catches Dec. 18 at Chicago and Dec. 24 vs. San Francisco. 2010: First NFL touchdown catch (13 yards) for 14-6 lead in 31-6 win over San Francisco in Sept. 12 season opener... 22-yard touchdown catch for Seahawks rst points of game in 23-20 win at Chicagos Soldier Field Oct. 17... career-long 63-yard touchdown catch in 36-18 win at Arizona Nov. 14...suffered broken leg while catching two-yard touchdown pass late in Dec. 12 loss at San Francisco... placed on Reserve-Injured list Dec. 14. 2009: NFL debut in

Washington to face his hometown team, the Redskins, in the 2012 NFC Wild Card Playoffs. Even though Butler was inactive for the game, it was special to be at FedEx Field for a playoff game against the team he grew up rooting for. Butler, whose given name is Vincent Deon, was a crime, law and justice major at Penn State where he took the first steps toward a career in forensic science. Hes currently enrolled in PSUs graduate program for cyber security, which Butler hopes will one day land him a job with the Department of Homeland Security. Though Butlers birth name is Vincent, he began going by Deon after a sportswriter covering him in high school called him Neon Deon, a nod toward former NFL All-Pro cornerback Deion Sanders. Deon, however, was not the only talented athlete in the Butler family. His brother, Lee, was a guard for the basketball team at the University of Miami (Fla.) during the 2004-05 and 2005-06 seasons. He enjoys mystery novels, playing basketball and riding jet skis. Sept. 13 season-opener vs. St. Louis...season-high 34 yards receiving on three catches Dec. 13 at Houston.

Donald Butler has quickly evolved into one of San Diegos top defensive players. He was well on his way to a secondconsecutive 100-tackle season in 2012 when his year was cut short by a groin injury, one that resulted in his missing four games late in the year. Despite the injury, Butler still accumulated 94 tackles, third among Chargers defenders. Butler was one of the teams top feel-good stories in 2011. A former third-round pick from 2010 whom the Chargers traded up 12 spots to select, the Bolts were looking for big things from the former Washington Husky as a rookie. But one afternoon during an early training camp practice, Butler tore his left Achilles tendon during a pass rush drill and his rookie season ended before it began. Butler spent all of 2010 rehabilitating and when 2011 arrived, the door of opportunity swung wide open.

The two ended up starting side-by-side and Butlers repaired Achilles held up as he and Spikes ranked 1-2 on the team in tackles with 119 and 102, respectively. By the time the 11 season concluded, Butler had started all 16 games and he was the only Chargers defender to hang a number in every statistical defensive category. Butler studied construction management at Washington. His mom, Janet Rice, is a single parent who has worked for the Oakland (Calif.) Housing Authority for a number of years.

JEROMEY CLARY
Guard-Tackle 6-6, 320 7th NFL Season 8th with Chargers Draft 6A - 06 Kansas State Mansfield HS Mansfield, Tex.
The second-longest tenured player on the Chargers offensive line, Jeromey Clary switched from tackle to guard in 2013 and he has excelled. Clary started 14 games in 2012 and 46 of the last 48 games at right tackle, but with the arrival of top draft choice D.J. Fluker, the coaches have asked Clary to slide over to guard and serve as a mentor for the rookie right tackle. Clary was the Chargers winner of the Ed Block Courage Award in 2010 after recovering from a serious ankle injury in 2009 that required surgery. He came back from the injury and played every snap during the 2010 and 11 seasons and in July 2011, the Chargers rewarded him with a new fouryear contract. Clary became a starter late in the 2007 season. A reserve for most of the year, the coaches inserted him into the starting lineup at right tackle in early December to give the teams TRANSACTION HISTORY: Sixth-round pick by Chargers (187), April 30, 2006...signed July 25, 2006...waived Sept. 2, and re-signed to practice squad, Sept. 4...re-signed one-year contracts Jan. 16, 2007, March 25, 2008, March 16, 2009 and April 15, 2010...signed July 30, 2011. 2012: Helped Chargers rush for season-high 148 yards and two touchdowns in Sept. 16 win over Tennessee...injured knee on third play of Cincinnati game Dec. 2 and inactive for games Dec. 9 at Pittsburgh and Dec. 16 vs. Carolina... returned to starting lineup for Dec. 23 win at New York Jets. 2011: Joined Nick Hardwick as only linemen to start all 16 games...pitched in toward season-high 206-yard rushing day Oct. 9 at Denver...part of offensive line that earned Madden Protectors Award after not allowing any sacks in 26 pass plays and helping to block for 153 rush yards and touchdown in season-ending win at Oakland. 2010: Offensive line blocked for 180 yards rushing and allowed just one sack in 22 pass plays in 41-10 win vs. Arizona Oct. 3...entire offensive line earned Madden Most Valuable Protectors Award after season-high 207-yard rushing performance in 31-0 win Dec. 12 vs. Kansas City. 2009: Game Ball from coaches after 135-yard rush game with no sacks allowed Oct. 25 at Kansas City...Game Ball Nov. 22 in Denver... blocked for season-high 203 yards rushing and allowed no sacks before leaving game late with ankle injury...placed on Reserve-Injured Nov. 25. 2008: Offensive line allowed no sacks in 306-yard, three-touchdown passing game Oct. 12 vs. New Englandin fourth quarter Dec. 14 at Kansas City, line gave Philip Rivers time to go 19 of 25 with two touch-

DEREK COX
Cornerback 6-1, 195 5th NFL Season 1st with Chargers UFA (Jacksonville) 13 William & Mary Rose HS Greenville, N.C.
The Chargers made a key signing during the early stages of Marchs free agency period with the addition of former Jacksonville Jaguars cornerback Derek Cox to a four-year deal. A third-round pick of the Jaguars in 2009, Cox racked up a team-leading 12 interceptions over the last four seasons (2009-12), more than double the total of the Jaguars next-closest defender. A native of Greenville, N.C., Cox was a state champion football and baseball player at Rose High School. At William & Mary, he became a two-time team captain and a two-time All-Colonial Athletic Association defender. With his selection by the Jaguars in the third round of the NFL Draft, Cox became the second-highest drafted player in William & Mary history. Hes the first former Tribesman to play for the Chargers since kicker Steve Christie (2001-03). As a rookie, Cox didnt wait long to make an impression on Jaguars fans. On the first possession of his first-career game in the 2009 season opener, Cox intercepted then-Indianapolis quarterback Peyton Manning in the end zone, and on the second possession of the game, he recovered a fumble by running back Joseph Addai. Cox was only the second Jacksonville rookie to open the season as the teams starting cornerback and he started all 16 games, leading the team with four picks. As a second-year player in 2010, Cox was limited to 13 games and 11 starts, but again led the squad with four interceptions. He appeared in just six games in 2011, but returned to start 12 of 12 games played in 2012 and once again led the Jaguars with four interceptions. Cox has a fraternal twin sister, Shannon, a brother, Travis, who played football at East Carolina and two other siblings, TRANSACTION HISTORY: Third-round pick (73) by Jacksonville, April 26, 2009...signed four-year contract with Jaguars, July 31...contract expired March 12, 2013...signed with Chargers, March 15. 2012: Inactive Weeks 1-2 (hamstring)...interception and team-high three passes defensed vs. Chicagos Jay Cutler Oct. 7...interception Oct. 21 at Oakland to become 11th Jaguar with picks in consecutive games...inactive Oct. 28 at Green Bay (back)...outstanding all-around effort Nov. 18 at Houston with interception in overtime, season-high 15 tackles, including 14 unassisted, and two passes defensed... injured hamstring Nov. 25 vs. Tennessee and inactive Dec. 2 at Buffalo... first-career forced fumble Dec. 9 vs. New York Jets...team-high three passes defensed and interception off Tom Brady Dec. 23 vs. New England. 2011: Injured ribs in Sept. 11 season-opener vs. Tennessee and inactive Sept. 18 at New York Jets...missed games 4-6 (groin)...season-ending knee injury Nov. 20 at Cleveland and placed on ReserveInjured list Nov. 25. 2010: Career-high two interceptions off Dallas Jon Kitna Oct. 31...tied team record and first Jaguars player since 2006 with two picks in game...season-
sister, Alisha, and oldest brother, Lyman. Travis teammate at ECU was former Jaguars quarterback David Garrard, who was a teammate of Dereks in Jacksonville. Coxs parents have been married for 44 years and still reside in Greenville. His mom, Claudette, is a retired school teacher, and his father, Lyman, still runs his own construction and renovations business. In Jacksonville, Cox was one of the Jaguars most-active players in the community. A member of the Ebony Expression Gospel Choir, he recorded a public service announcement for the Jacksonville Childrens Chorus to encourage kids to get involved in chorus, and he served as a spokesperson for the Jacksonville Food Bank. Cox also supported causes and events that dealt with homelessness, prostate cancer awareness, and the prevention of teen pregnancy and HIV/AIDS. Earlier this year, he was invited to speak about teamwork and leadership at the FBIs office in Jacksonville as part of Black History Month. Cox and the former Julie Dewberry were married this in July in Charlottesville, Virginia. They met in college. Dewberry graduated from the George Mason University School of Law while Cox was beginning his NFL career with the Jaguars. They both enjoy music and Dewberry taught Cox to play the piano. The couple owns two dogs, a Yorkshire Terrier named Rambo and a Rottweiler puppy named George. Cox, who collects and enjoys reading self-help and selfimprovement books, envisions a career in business after his NFL playing days come to an end.

MALCOM FLOYD
Wide Receiver 6-5, 225 8th NFL Season 10th with Chargers Free Agent - 04 Wyoming River City HS Sacramento, Calif.
The veteran member of the Chargers receiving corps, Floyd is the teams reigning Offensive Player of the Year. Floyd was on his way to a 1,000-yard season in 2012 when his campaign was cut short by two games as result of an ankle injury. He still managed to lead the team with a career-high 56 catches and score five touchdowns. Hell again pair with Danario Alexander to give the Chargers a formidable pair of six-foot-five field stretchers in San Diegos new offense headed up by Offensive Coordinator Ken Whisenhunt and Head Coach Mike McCoy. The Chargers love Floyds big-play ability and in September 2012, just days after the teams third game of the year, he signed a three-year contract extension that goes through the 2015 season and will most likely allow him to finish his career in Lightning Bolts. A mainstay in the Chargers offensive lineup since 2008, Floyds totals the last five seasons include 208 catches for 3,628 yards and 21 touchdowns. His 17.4 yards per catch average during the most-recent five-year stretch is the third-highest in the NFL. Only Vincent Jackson (18.3) and DeSean Jackson (17.5) have averaged more yards per catch during that time. Floyd performed a rather impressive feat in 2011 when 41 of his 43 catches went for first downs. The 95.3 percent clip was the second-highest in NFL history (min. 32 catches). Only Henry Ellard, who totaled 71 first downs on 74 catches (95.9%) for the Washington Redskins in 1994, posted a highTRANSACTION HISTORY: Signed with Chargers, April 30, 2004waived Sept. 5 and signed to practice squad Sept. 7, 2004signed to active roster Dec. 11, 2004waived Sept. 3, 2005 and re-signed to practice squad Sept. 5, 2005signed to active roster Dec. 7, 2005...signed one-year contracts March 7, 2007, March 25, 2008, May 15, 2009 and June 8, 2010...agreed to two-year contract, Aug. 6, 2011...signed three-year contract extension through 2015, Sept. 26, 2012. 2012: Rodney Culver Memorial Award as teams Offensive Player of Year...six yard touchdown catch for 10-3 second-quarter lead in Monday Night Football season-opener in Oakland...also made spinning 23-yard catch against sideline during TD drive and had game-long 25-yard catch in fourth quarter...game and season-high 109 yards Sept. 16 vs. Tennessee...set up rst touchdown of game with 27yard catch followed by 14-yarder on 3rd-and-8...later added catches of 22 and 16 yards during touchdown drive that put Bolts up 24-3...went over 100 yards on 19-yard catch during TD drive that put Bolts up 31-10...second 100-yard game of season (108) on Sunday Night Football Oct. 7 at New Orleans...set up Chargers rst touchdown of night with 39-yard catch followed by 32-yarder on 3rd-and9...also helped set up eld goal by drawing 25-yard pass interference penalty to six-yard line...13-yard touchdown catch in fourth quarter gave Bolts 17-6 lead over Kansas City in Nov. 1 win...three-yard touchdown catch capped 17play drive for 20-3 lead in third quarter during Dec. 9 win at Pittsburgh. 2011: Sept. 18 at New England had two long third-down catches (23 and 36 yards) to set up early touchdown, but injured hip while making second catch and left
er percentage. Floyds first 23 catches of the season all went for first downs and his first catch that didnt result in a first down wasnt until Dec. 11. Floyd finished 2011 with a careerhigh 856 yards and a career-best 19.9-yard average, which was the highest in the league among players with more than 800 yards receiving. It was also the ninth highest average in team history among players with at least 40 catches. An undrafted free agent from a heralded class in 2004, Floyd is one of the teams most popular players. Hes a second generation NFL wide receiver who followed in the footsteps of his older brother, Malcolm, who played wide receiver for the Houston Oilers, Tennessee Titans and St. Louis Rams in the mid 90s. The elder Floyd is currently the head football coach at C.K. McClatchy High School in Sacramento, Calif. Floyds mother, Leataata, still resides in Sacramento where she volunteers as a mentor, tutor, counselor and ambassador, who teaches Polynesian dancing after school each day at one of the poorest schools in the city. In 2012, the Sacramento School District paid tribute to Floyd by changing the name of the school where she has given so much of her time from Jedediah Smith Elementary to Leataata Floyd Elementary. Floyd and his wife, Daphne, have two sons, Maiu and Malc. In his spare time, Malcom enjoys playing basketball and spending time grilling out with his family. An all-conference hoopster in high school, Floyds team won the schools intramural championship while he was an undergrad at Wyoming. contest...100 yards on three catches Oct. 9 at Denver...closed out rst half with 42-yard touchdown catch for 23-10 lead...late fourth quarter 38-yard catch on 3rdand-10 set up eld goal for 29-24 lead...reinjured hip Oct. 31 at Kansas City and inactive next four games... returned to starting lineup Dec. 5 at Jacksonville and caught seasonlong 52-yard touchdown pass in third quarter en route to 108-yard night...14-yard catch on 2nd-and-18 Dec. 11 vs. Buffalo was rst of year that didnt go for rst down, ending streak of 23 straight rst-down catches to open season...capped year with 127-yard performance, including 43yard touchdown, catch in 38-26 win at Oakland. 2010: Season-long touchdown catch (54 yards) in 38-13 win vs. Jacksonville Sept. 19...career-high 213 yards Oct. 10 at Oakland...fourth-best single-game performance in team history and best since 1985...team-record 154 yards in first half... effort included 41-yard touchdown catch...injured hamstring Oct. 17 at St. Louis and inactive next three games...reinjured hamstring and inactive Weeks 14-15...first-career multi-TD game (17 and 9 yards) in Dec. 12 win vs. Kansas City...41-yard catch, despite pass interference, led to field goal in 33-28 win at Denver Jan. 2. 2009: 24-yard catch on 3rd-and-12 and 38-yard pass interference penalty drawn three plays later helped Chargers to 7-3 lead in key win Dec. 13 at Dallas...

DWIGHT FREENEY
Outside Linebacker 6-1, 268 12th NFL Season 1st with Chargers UFA (Indianapolis) 13 Syracuse Bloomfield HS Bloomfield, Conn.
The Chargers bolstered their defense this offseason by signing seven-time Pro Bowl outside linebacker Dwight Freeney from the Indianapolis Colts. Freeney spent his first 11 professional seasons in Indianapolis, helping the Colts to a Super Bowl title after the 2006 season (Super Bowl XLI). A native of Bloomfield, Connecticut, where he set a state record for career sacks, Freeney was the Colts first pick in the 2002 NFL Draft (11th overall) after an All-America career at Syracuse. It concluded with him being named the Big East Conference's co-Defensive Player of the Year after he led the nation with 17.5 sacks as a senior. Freeney didnt waste any time making his presence felt in the NFL. He earned All-Rookie honors in 2002 after setting a franchise record with 13 sacks, second all-time among rookies to the 14.5 recorded by Tennessees Jevon Kearse in 1999. Besides seven Pro Bowl selections, Freeney was named AllPro four times, he was selected to the NFLs all-Decade Team for the 2000s in 2009 and the Kansas City Committee of 101 named him its Defensive Player of the Year in 2005. He racked up a Colts-record 107.5 sacks, becoming the 26th player in NFL history with more than 100 career sacks. Freeney and Robert Mathis combined to give the Colts a devastating one-two punch as they became the first defensive end tandem from the same team to be named to three consecutive Pro Bowls (2008-10) since 1970. Freeneys ledger includes sacks against 53 different quarterbacks and 27 of the NFLs 32 teams. At the end of the 2012 season, he had the fifth-most sacks among active players, ranking behind only Atlantas John Abraham (122.0), Minnesotas Jared Allen (117.0), Chicagos Julius Peppers (111.5) and Dallas DeMarcus Ware (111.0). Freeney is the only player in Colts history to post seven double-digit sack seasons, including a franchise-record and NFL-leading 16 in 2004, when he became the first player in team history to win the leagues sack title. He set a franchise record by recording at least one sack in ninestraight games over the 2008-09 seasons and owns the threehighest single-season sack marks in Colts history. Freeneys career totals heading into 2013 include 163 games played, 143 starts, 378 tackles, 44 forced fumbles, 14 passes defensed and three interceptions. Including his Super Bowl appearance, Freeney has played and started 17 postseason games during his career. As a high schooler, Freeney didnt start with ambitions of becoming one of the NFLs best players. His older brother, Hugh, played quarterback at Bloomfield, but Freeney started his athletic career as a goalie for the schools soccer team. Both of TRANSACTION HISTORY: First-round pick by Indianapolis (11th overall), April 20, 2002...signed July 29...re-signed July July 13, 2007...contract expired March 12, 2013...signed with Chargers May 20. 2012: Injured ankle in first quarter of Sept. 9 season opener at Chicago...Inactive Sept. 16 at Minnesota and Sept. 23 vs. Jacksonville...first-career sack vs. Green Bay in Oct. 7 return from injury...career sack No. 103.5 as Aaron Rodgers became 51st different quarterback hed sacked...Nov. 4 vs. Miami sacked Ryan Tannehill and recorded 44th-career forced fumble on play...Colts lone sack in Dec. 23 playoff-
Freeneys parents, Hugh, Sr. and Joy, were Jamaican natives and that was the game hed primarily been exposed to as a child. It was only after some good-natured ribbing from classmates about his soccer uniform that Freeney opted for a move to the gridiron as a sophomore. He ended up a four-sport star for the Warhawks, lettering in football, basketball, baseball and soccer. He led the football team to a state title in 1997 and even though football was the sport that ultimately led to a professional career, Freeney was an excellent center fielder and power hitter for the baseball team. He hit one of the longest home runs in school history, clearing a road that runs behind the schools baseball field. With his legacy cast, Freeney returned to Connecticut in 2007 for Dwight Freeney Day, which included the retirement of the No. 44 uniform he wore as a prep. Freeneys success on the field catapulted him into an array of opportunities off the field, including the nonprofit world and the entertainment industry. He oversees the Dwight Freeney Foundation, which has hosted a number of events. They include a football camp, a FanFest designed to thank Colts fans, as well as a program that provided Thanksgiving meals for needy families through Indianapolis Boys and Girls Clubs. Freeney also raised funds for charities in his home state of Connecticut through events that included a celebrity golf classic. Freeneys celebrity status has led to red carpet invitations for a wide variety of events from the ESPYs to the Grammy Awards. His star quality and easy-going nature have taken him to events that range from album release parties to fundraisers for Pediatric AIDS. Freeney has been a frequent guest and contributor for numerous sports television shows, including ESPNs Rome is Burning, The NFL Networks Total Access and FOX Sports Nets Best Damn Sports Show Period. Freeney also was featured on ESPNs Monday Night Football Countdowns Unmasked, in 2012 and he was a guest on the popular daytime talk show, Dr. Phil. His other screen credits include an appearance on Foxs highest rated reality series, Hells Kitchen, and he starred in NBCs hit Sunday Night Football commercial with Faith Hill. Freeneys popularity also has led to appearances on the covers of Sports Illustrated and The Sporting News, while he was featured as Ebonys hottest bachelor of 2008 and has been written about in People Magazine, Mens Health and USA Today. Freeney is of Jamaican heritage. He enjoys cooking, particularly Caribbean and Jamaican food. Freeneys other hobbies include golf and bowling. clinching win at Kansas City as Brady Quinn became his 53rd-career sack victim...sack vs. Houston in Dec. 30 season finale raised career total to 107.5, fifth-most among active players...raised career sack total vs. Houston to 17.5, his most vs. any one opponent...also gave him 5.5 sacks vs. Schaub, third-most vs. any quarterback during career. 2011: Pro Bowl...season-high two sacks and forced fumble that was returned 47 yards for touchdown by teammate Jamaal Anderson Sept. 25 vs. Pittsburgh...tied season-high with two sacks, including 100th of career, Dec. 11 vs. Baltimore.

ANDREW GACHKAR
Inside Linebacker 6-3, 240 3rd NFL Season 3rd with Chargers Draft 7 11 Missouri Blue Valley West HS Overland Park, Kan.
A seventh-round draft pick in 2011, Andrew Gachkar has done exactly what he needed to do to make the team: excel on special teams. Gachkar tied for the team lead with 12 special teams tackles as a rookie and as a second-year player he tied for fourth. Hes also gained valuable experience in limited time as a reserve linebacker. That experience again bodes well for the former Missouri Tiger as he heads into his third NFL season. Gachkar overcame a life-threatening ailment to even be able to play football. In 2007, after his freshman year at Missouri, he was diagnosed with Thoracic Outlet Syndrome. He had developed a blood clot because his collarbone and rib cage were too close together to allow proper blood flow through his veins. As a result, he underwent major surgery to remove TRANSACTION HISTORY: Seventh-round pick (234), April 30, 2011...signed July 28. 2012: First-career sack Dec. 16 vs. Carolina...season-high six tackles in Dec. 30 season finale vs. Oakland. 2011: Seasonhigh three special teams tackles Oct. 23 at New York Jets...two special teams stops each at Kansas City Oct. 31 and vs. Denver (Nov. 27) and Baltimore (Dec. 18).
one of his ribs, and a second surgery after another clot developed. Gachkar spent more than 20 hours in surgery and nearly a month in the hospital and he lost 30 pounds. The surgeries initially put his football future in doubt, but Gachkar was diligent in his rehabilitation and he made it back for the 2008 season without missing a game. Gachkar left Missouri as a first-team All-Big 12 choice. He led one of the most improved defenses in the nation in 2010 with a team-best 81 tackles, while also leading the Tigers in interceptions, forced fumbles, fumble recoveries and blocked kicks. Gachkar and his high school sweetheart, Lauren Nuckolls, were married in Missouri in March 2013.

ANTONIO GATES
Tight End 6-4, 255 11th NFL Season 11th with Chargers Free Agent - 03 Kent State Central HS Detroit, Mich.
Antonio Gates is one of the NFLs top tight ends of all time. In 2012 the future Hall of Famer became the franchises all-time leader for career touchdown catches. He enters 2013 with 83 career scores. In 2012, Gates tied for the team lead with seven touchdown catches, while ranking second in receptions and yards. It was the ninth year in a row that he totaled at least seven touchdown catches. Gates and quarterback Philip Rivers have been on the opposite end of 56 touchdown catches, the most in NFL history between a quarterback-tight end tandem. In 2013, the NFL Network ranked Gates at No. 73 on their list of the top 100 players in the NFL. It was a list that was compiled in voting by players. In addition to leading the team in touchdown catches, Gates holds team records for receptions (642) and consecutive games with a touchdown catch (tied, nine), and he ranks third in receiving yards (8,321). Both of the players who rank ahead of him in terms of yards are Hall of Fame wide receivers, Charlie Joiner (9,203) and Lance Alworth (9,584). Gates has a chance to pass both in 2013, needing 883 yards to pass Joiner and 1,264 to pass Alworth. Besides his position as the preeminent tight end in franchise history, Gates is beloved in the San Diego community. He has given back since he arrived as a free agent basketball phenom from Kent State University and continues to do so. His signature Shop with a Charger event is one of the most popular holiday events in town as Gates hosts homeless, neglected and abused children to a special night that includes a Christmas shopping spree. He is also the honorary chairman for the Shoot to Cure HD, which raises much-needed research funds for the Huntingtons Disease Society of America. And he works closely with Promises2Kids, an organization that offers support to San Diegos foster youth community. Gates route to the NFL has been well-chronicled. When he signed with the Chargers in 2003, he had not played football since his senior season at Central High School in Detroit. He began his collegiate career at Michigan State under the TRANSACTION HISTORY: Signed with Chargers, May 2, 2003signed six-year contract Aug. 22, 2005...signed new six-year contract through 2015, July 28, 2010. 2012: Caught 600th career pass Sept. 23 vs. Atlanta... became fifth tight end and 59th player in NFL history with 600 career catches...Oct. 15 vs. Denver caught two touchdown passes in first half for 15th-career multi-TD game...led team with 81 yards receiving to raise career yardage total to 8,007 and move past Ozzie Newsome for fourth-most yards by tight end in NFL history...touchdown catches were 50th and 51st of his career thrown by Philip Rivers...80th-career touchdown catch Nov. 11 at Tampa Bay...tied Lance Alworths franchise record with 81st-career touchdown catch Dec. 16 vs. Carolina...became Chargers all-time leader with 82nd-career touchdown catch (34 yards) for 24-14 lead in Dec. 23 win at New York Jets...83rd-career touchdown in Dec. 30 season finale vs. Oakland moved him into
assumption that he could play both football and basketball, but when the football coach relented, Gates chose to focus on hoops and decided it was best to leave the East Lansing campus. An up-and-down start to his basketball career sent him to three different schools before he finally found a home at Kent State, where in two seasons he helped lead the Golden Flashes to back-to-back Mid-American Conference championships and the Elite Eight of the 2002 NCAA Tournament. Gates ended his career as the sixth-leading scorer in school history and in Feb. 2010, he returned to the Kent, Ohio, campus to have his No. 44 jersey retired by the school. Gates now heads into 2013, his 11th NFL season, with several additional milestones in sight. He has scored 498 career points and needs just two more to become the sixth player and the third non-kicker to score at least 500 for his career. And his 642 career catches rank fifth all-time among tight ends. With 21 more, hell pass Hall of Fame tight end Ozzie Newsome (662) for the fourth-most catches by a player in their position group in league history. Gates is a member of the NFLs All-Decade Team (2000-09), hes one of the Chargers 50 Greatest Players of All-Time, an eight-time Pro Bowl all-star and a three-time first-team All-Pro. Gates paternal grandfather, Henry Hank, was a professional boxer in the 1950s and 60s. who fought 97 professional bouts as a middleweight and light heavyweight, winning 62 of them. His 1962 fight against Joey Giardello was voted the Fight of the Year by Ring Magazine. Old photos show a striking resemblance between Gates and his grandfather, and many in the family believe that Gates inherited his athletic ability from him. Had Gates not opted for a career in athletics, he might have tried his hand as a firefighter. A couple of years ago, a group of firefighters attended a training camp practice and one of the most enamored players was Gates. He told several of them that long ago hed dreamed of being a firefighter so several weeks later, the assistant San Diego fire chief returned to Chargers Park and presented Gates with a SDFD firefighters jacket with his own name and number. tie with Alworth for second-most total touchdowns in team history. 2011: Pro Bowl...caught eight passes Week 1 vs. Minnesota to move past LaDainian Tomlinson and into third place on teams all-time receptions list...inactive Weeks 3-5 (foot)... first touchdown catch of season Oct. 23 at NY Jets...70th-career TD catch to join Tony Gonzalez as only tight ends in NFL history with at least 70 scoring catches...nished game with ve catches (542 career) and moved past Kellen Winslow (541) for second-most in team history...set up third quarter touchdown Dec. 5 at Jacksonville with seven-yard catch on 3rd-and-4 play, and at same time passed Gary Garrison for third on teams all-time receiving yardage list...earlier in game, kept another touchdown drive alive with 23-yard catch on 2nd-and-20 play...Dec. 11 vs. Buffalo, scored rst touchdown of game, and during drive passed Garrison (7,562) for fourth on teams all-time list for career scrimmage yardscaught second touchdown pass in third quarter, 75th of his career to become 27th player

MARCUS GILCHRIST
Cornerback-Safety 5-10, 198 3rd NFL Season 3rd with Chargers Draft 2A 11 Clemson Andrews HS High Point, N.C.
A second-round pick in the 2011 NFL Draft, the Chargers will take advantage of Marcus Gilchrists experience at safety after he spent the majority of his first two seasons as the teams nickel corner. Gilchrist played in all 16 games last season and he made four starts. His 76 tackles were third-most among the secondary and fifth-most on the team. He also collected his first sack and broke up five passes. As a rookie, Gilchrist won the teams nickel job right out of training camp and he earned his first start just four games into the season. Not surprisingly, that days opponent, the Miami Dolphins, went right after the rookie corner, but Gilchrist intercepted the first pass thrown in his direction and his defense helped the Chargers to a victory. Gilchrist came to the Chargers from Clemson University where he was a star among stars. Four of his defensive teammates were selected in the 2011 NFL Draft. According to the TRANSACTION HISTORY: Second-round pick (50), April 29, 2011...signed July 28, 2011. 2012: Fourth-quarter 11-yard tackle for loss set stage for aborted punt in season opener at Oakland...field goal on ensuing possession gave Bolts 22-6 lead...season-high nine tackles Dec. 2 vs. Cincinnati...first-career sack on 3rd-and-8 in second quarter at Pittsburgh Dec. 9...led to punt and Bolts scored touchdown on ensuing possession to take 10-0 lead en route to first-ever regular-season win in Steel City. 2011: Made rst-career start and recorded rst NFL interception on rst pass thrown in his direction in rst quarter Oct. 2 vs. Miamilater broke up pass in end zone in third quarter to prevent touchdown and force eld goal try...40-yard return following throwback from Patrick Crayton on punt return Nov. 10 vs. Oakland...sealed Dec. 11 win over Buffalo (37-10) with late fourth-quarter interception.

Tigers coaches though, it was Marcus football IQ that made him stand out, along with an impressive showing at the NFL combine where he posted a 38-inch vertical leap and put up 26 bench-press repetitions at 225 pounds, second-most among all defensive backs. Gilchrist had toughness and discipline instilled at home at an early age from his father, Ronny, a retired United States Marine. Ronny played sports and boxed in the service. He had Marcus doing push-ups and sit-ups at an early age, 200 a day when he started playing youth sports, and more as he got older. Marcus mother, LaJeune, was also the daughter of a coach. One of Gilchrists passions is collecting shoes. He owns more than 200 pairs of shoes, including a number of different varieties of Nikes Air Jordan, named for future NBA Hall of Famer, Michael Jordan. campaign...started at cornerback as senior and free safety as junior...tied school-record by playing in 53 games... school-record 50 total returns as senior...finished career with 211 tackles, three forced fumbles, one interception, 19 passes defensed, five tackles for loss, one sack and six quarterback pressures...averaged 25.1 yards on kickoff returns and 9.7 yards on punt returns....played at Clemson from 2007-10...management major.

RICHARD GOODMAN
Wide Receiver-Kick Returner 6-0, 192 3rd NFL Season 4th with Chargers Free Agent 10 Florida State St. Thomas Aquinas HS Ft. Lauderdale, Fla.
Richard Goodman, or Goody as hes known by teammates, is raising the bar in San Diego. Hes been the teams featured kick returner the last two seasons and he set the franchise record for the longest kickoff return in team history when he brought back a kick 105 yards for a touchdown in the 2011 season finale against Oakland. Goodman was in the midst of another big year in 2012 when he was felled by a hamstring injury while returning the opening kickoff during the Bolts Oct. 28 game in Cleveland. The injury ended a franchise-record streak for Goodman of seven straight games (dating back to 2011) in which he had at least one return of 30 yards or longer. Before the injury, Goodman was averaging 27.6 yards per return for the season, same as his career average. Had he played the full 2012 season, Goodman most likely would have attained the necessary 75 returns to qualify for the teams alltime kickoff return average record (25.3), set by Leslie Speedy Duncan. Through a rigorous rehabilitation program, Goodmans hamstring has completely healed and with another solid season and 24 more kickoff returns, he should easily take over the franchise mark in 2013. A gym rat, Goodman loves to work out. He plays football with a chip on his shoulder after almost being overlooked to play at a major college. As a prep at powerhouse St. Thomas TRANSACTION HISTORY: Signed two-year contract, May 10, 2010...waived Sept. 4 and re-signed to practice squad, Sept. 6...signed to active roster, Oct. 13...waived Nov. 6 and resigned to practice squad, Nov. 10...placed on practice squadInjured, Dec. 1...re-signed Feb. 11, 2011 and March 28, 2012. 2012: Season-long 39-yard kickoff return Oct. 15 vs. Denver marked seventh-straight game (dating back to 2011) with return of 30 yards or longer...injured hamstring on opening kickoff of following game Oct. 28 at Cleveland, ending streak ...placed on Reserve-Injured Oct. 30. 2011: AFC Special Teams Player of Week after team-record 105-yard kickoff return touchdown Jan. 1 at Oakland...first-career NFL score... finished game with 215 kickoff return yards, third-most in game in team history. 2010: Practice squad Weeks 1-5...

Aquinas High School in Ft. Lauderdale, Fla., Goodman didnt even play until his senior year. By then, most of the major colleges had doled out their scholarship offers, but when he began to beat some of the top prep recruits in the state during the playoffs his senior season, colleges began to take notice. Florida State was one of the first to offer a scholarship and the sincerity of former coach Bobby Bowden is what led Goodman to Tallahassee to play for the Seminoles. One of Goodmans childhood heroes was Michael Irvin, another alum of St. Thomas Aquinas. The two men grew up in the same area and Goodman has tried to train, compete and approach the game the same way that the Hall of Fame receiver did during his illustrious career. Goodmans best friend is another St. Thomas alum, Chicago Bears safety Major Wright. Goodman is the oldest of four children who was raised by a single mom with help from his paternal grandmother, Olinthia, who passed in 1998.

LADARIUS GREEN
Tight End 6-6, 240 2nd NFL Season 2nd with Chargers Draft 4 12 Louisiana-Lafayette Booker T. Washington HS Pensacola, Fla.
For Ladarius Green, the Chargers fourth-round pick in the 2012 NFL Draft, his rookie season was an opportunity to watch, learn, spend time in meetings with, and train alongside a future Hall of Fame tight end in Antonio Gates. Green played in just four games as a rookie, showing flashes of whats to come with four catches for 56 yards. Now in his second pro season, the door of opportunity is wide open as hell have a chance to see more playing time in the Chargers new offensive system. Green came from the University of Louisiana-Lafayette where he was a three-time All-Sun Belt League choice. The 6-6, 240-pounder caught 149 passes for 2,201 yards and 22 touchdowns during his career with the Ragin Cajuns and his 22 touchdown catches were the second-most in school history behind NFL free agent wide receiver Brandon Stokley.

121-yard with a touchdown effort left an impression on the local fan base. Green excelled in the classroom at ULL, earning a degree in finance in just three-and-a-half years. He aspires to one day pursue a career in investment banking. Both of Greens parents, Shannon and Walter, served in the Army and Green was born in Berlin, Germany, while his parents were serving. Despite his 6-6 frame, Greens nickname is Pee Wee. It is a moniker he was given as a high school junior when he stood just 5-10. Even though he hit a major growth spurt shortly thereafter and shot up to his present height, the name had stuck and teammates still refer to him as Pee Wee. Greens first cousin is former Chargers guard Tyronne Green. They were teammates during Ladarius rookie season in San Diego.

NICK HARDWICK
Center 6-4, 305 10th NFL Season 10th with Chargers Draft 3B - 04 Purdue Lawrence North HS Indianapolis, Ind.
The Chargers Lineman of the Year in 2011 and 2012, and a member of the Chargers 50th Anniversary All-Time Team, Hardwick has long been a steadying force as the senior member of the teams offensive line. Hardwick was one of only two linemen to start every game last season on a line that saw three different starting left tackles, and two different starters at both left guard and right tackle. He now heads into his 10th NFL season in 2013 having started 50 straight games at center and a total of 119 for his career. Hardwick had one of his best seasons as a pro in 2012, though for a time he contemplated stepping away from the game and from the only city hes played in as a professional. After the 2011 season ended, Hardwick became an unrestricted free agent, he had recently become a new father, and he had just watched one of his best friends and linemates left guard Kris Dielman - retire after suffering a serious concussion. All three factors led Hardwick to ponder whether he wanted to continue playing football, and if he did, whether he wanted to play it in San Diego or make a fresh start elsewhere. But when the dust settled just prior to the start of free agency, Hardwick decided that home is where the heart is, and he opted to sign a new three-year contract with the Chargers. It was a big decision for Hardwick and his family, but having the chance to continue his career in the same city where he started lifted a huge burden from the shoulders of he and his wife, Jayme. With all the accolades, its hard to believe that just four seasons ago in 2009, Hardwick suffered an ankle injury so severe that it nearly ended his career. He missed 13 games that season, but returned in time for a late-season push to the playoffs and he hasnt missed a game since. Charged with calling out the blocking schemes and making changes at the line of scrimmage, Hardwick shares a close bond with quarterback Philip Rivers. When Hardwick returned from the ankle injury and started all 16 games for the NFLs No. 1 ranked offense in 2010, teammates honored him with a share of the teams Emil Karas Memorial Award as its most inspirational player. A Pro Bowl selection in 2006, Hardwick has been a starter since his rookie season (2004). The Chargers have rushed for at least 1,700 yards in all but one season that he has started at least 12 games, including a team-record 2,578 yards in 06. Hardwick grew up in Indianapolis. As a youth, he played hockey on an international traveling team and was a standout prep wrestler. With wrestling as a possible ticket to fulfill his TRANSACTION HISTORY: Third-round pick (66), April 24, 2004signed July 29...signed six-year contract, June 16, 2006 and three-year deal, March 14, 2012. 2012: Helped Chargers rush for season-high 148 yards and two touchdowns in Sept. 16 win over Tennessee...anchored line that didnt allow any sack yards in 42 passing plays, while Philip Rivers threw three touchdown passes in Dec. 9 win at Pittsburgh for Chargers first-ever regular-season win in Steel City. 2011: Chargers Lineman of Year...Pro Bowl third-alternate...anchored line in season-high 206-yard
dreams of becoming a Marine aviator, Hardwick went to Purdue on a Marine Corps ROTC Scholarship. One of his fathers cousins, Joe McCormick, was a former Air Force pilot and he inspired Hardwick to acquire his pilots license before he turned 18. He earned the money to pay for his flying lessons by collecting golf balls at a local driving range. But Hardwicks mission was altered after former Chargers quarterback Drew Brees led the Boilermakers to the 2001 Rose Bowl. Hardwick saw the excitement it generated on the Purdue campus, and the following fall he decided to walk on to the schools football team. A year after earning a spot as a scout team defensive tackle, he became the Boilermakers starting center and earned all-conference honors. Hardwick maintains close ties to his alma mater where Jayme also competed as a member of the schools womens soccer team. In 2007, he endowed an annual football scholarship that is given to a walk-on player who earns it, just as Hardwick did. And in 2008, Purdue presented him with the Drew Brees Mental Attitude Award, presented by the Joe Tiller/Northwest Indiana Chapter of the National Football Foundation. Hardwick became the fourth former Boilermaker to receive the award. Owner of a management degree from Purdue, Hardwick is the Chargers union representative and he guided the players through the NFL Lockout in 2011. He sharpened his business acumen when he attended the NFLs Business and Entrepreneurial Program at the Wharton School at the University of Pennsylvania in 2009. It is a special program where NFL players and front office employees spend a week learning a broad range of business topics from some of the countrys most well-known educators. In December 2011, the Hardwicks became first-time parents. Hudson Harold Hardwick, was born the night before the Chargers nationally-televised game against the Baltimore Ravens and the next night, NBC showed America a picture of baby Hudson during the broadcast of the game. Hardwick has been involved in a number of charitable causes throughout his career, but his main devotion is to the Marine Corps-Law Enforcement Foundation (MCLEF), an organization that raises money to provide advanced education for the children of Marines and law enforcement officers killed in the line of duty. In his free time, Hardwick enjoys reading, drawing and spending time at the beach with his family. rushing day Oct. 9 at Denver...part of offensive line that earned Madden Protectors Award after not allowing any sacks in 26 pass plays and helping to block for 153 rush yards and touchdown in season-ending win at Oakland. 2010: Chargers co-Most Inspirational Player...offensive line blocked for 180 rush yards and allowed just one sack in 41-10 win vs. Arizona Oct. 3...offensive line named Madden Most Valuable Protectors after season-high 207 yards rushing in 31-0 win vs. Kansas City Dec. 12. 2009: Injured left ankle Week 1 at Oakland and inactive next 13 games... returned for Dec. 25 win at Tennessee and helped Chargers rush for 166

Mike Harris exceeded all expectations as he performed at one of the NFLs most-challenging positions.

And when the 2012 season opener in Oakland arrived, Harris was tabbed as the teams starting left tackle.

MELVIN INGRAM
Outside Linebacker 6-2, 265 2nd NFL Season 2nd with Chargers Draft 1 12 South Carolina Richmond County HS Rockingham, N.C.
The Chargers defense suffered a major blow in May when Ingram, the teams first-round draft pick in 2012 and a projected starter at outside linebacker, suffered a torn ACL in his left knee. Ingram was coming off a rookie campaign in which he racked up 18 quarterback pressures, tied for second-most on the squad, along with 12 special teams tackles, which tied for the team lead. He played in all 16 games, made two starts and gained valuable experience while working amidst a veteran-laden group of fellow linebackers. Ingrams marriage to the Chargers was a match that drew much excitement as he was still on the board when the Bolts held the 18th choice in the first round of the 2012 NFL Draft. There had been knocks about his 30 1/2 inch reach, short by NFL standards, but Ingram had been a jack-of-alltrades at the University of South Carolina. He posted the fourth-most sacks in school history and the fifth-most tackles for loss on his way to being named just the third consensus first-team All-America in school history, and the first since 1984. Ingram was a team captain as a senior and a key cog on a Gamecocks squad that ranked third in the nation in total defense and 11th in scoring D. He was also part of a resurgence at South Carolina that peaked when the Gamecocks won a school-record 11 games in his final season, including a 30-13 win over Nebraska in the Capital One Bowl on New Years Day. Once he arrived in San Diego, it didnt take long to silence the naysayers about whether his reach would hinder his ability to make plays on the professional level. During the first quarter of TRANSACTION HISTORY: First-round pick (18), April 26, 2012...signed May 11. 2012: In rst regular-season game Sept. 10 at Oakland, ended Raiders rst series with forced fumble that was recovered by Antwan Barnes...was later key gure in aborted play that resulted in 25-yard loss, leading to punt and touchdown on ensuing possession for 10-3 lead...and late in fourth quarter, onside kick recovery enabled Chargers to close out 22-14 victory...team-high three quarterback pressures and rst career sack Oct. 28 at Cleveland... rst NFL start Nov. 18 at Denvers Sports Authority Field... team and season-high four special teams tackles in Dec. 30 season nale vs. Oakland.
his first NFL game, a preseason contest against the Green Bay Packers, Ingram pressured reigning NFL MVP Aaron Rodgers into a hurried throw that was intercepted by one of Ingrams teammates. It was a big moment against a quarterback who threw 45 touchdowns and only six interceptions the entire previous season and it would be a sign of things to come. For Ingrams family back in Rockingham, North Carolina, his success was hardly a surprise. His father, George Melvin Ingram, Jr., predicted that his infant son would one day play in the NFL prior to his premature passing from a massive heart attack in 1998. Raised by his mom, Nancy, and two older sisters, Ingram became a cult hero in Rockingham where the football star and three-year starter at point guard for the schools basketball team earned the nickname SupaMelvin. So gifted was Ingram that he once walked out of a high school math class so he could go to the schools gym to break the hang-clean record in his school clothes. After a brief warmup, he did so with a lift of 380 pounds, five more than the previous school record. And prior to the 2006 Shrine Bowl AllStar Game featuring the top high school seniors from North and South Carolina, Ingram threw the fastest pass during a pregame carnival, posting the fastest throws with both his left and right hands. In addition to his athletic feats, Ingram has no problem doing a standing back-flip, he can spin a football in his hand, he can dunk one over a crossbar, he can dunk a basketball with ease and he can throw a football more than 70 yards without taking a step.

JARRET JOHNSON
Outside Linebacker 6-3, 260 11th NFL Season 2nd with Chargers UFA (Baltimore) - 12 Alabama Chiefland HS Cedar Key, Fla.
Jarret Johnston plays perhaps one of the most unremarkable positions in football. A strong-side linebacker in a 3-4 defense, its a position where youre unlikely to load up the stat sheets with staggering numbers, but in the defensive scheme, Johnson is one of the most important players for its success. And few have ever played the position as well as Johnson has for 10 NFL seasons. Johnson came to the Chargers in 2012 as one of the NFLs top-rated free agents. Listed as the 14th-best available free agent by SI.com, he signed a four-year contract with the Chargers last March. Johnson brought stability to the strong-side backer position for the Chargers, as well as a tremendous work ethic that was ingrained in him during nine seasons with the 2012 Super Bowl Champion Baltimore Ravens. Johnson served as a valued mentor for fellow strong-side linebacker, Melvin Ingram, the Chargers top pick in last seasons NFL Draft, and he finished his first season in San Diego with 47 tackles and 1.5 sacks. But more importantly, Johnsons consistency and effort helped the Bolts rank ninth in the NFL in total defense and sixth against the run. Johnsons durability is one of the traits that made him so attractive to the Chargers. He left Baltimore having played in a team-record 129-straight regular-season games, including 80 consecutive starts. Nicknamed J.J. and Double-J by his former teammates in Baltimore, Johnson epitomized the term blue-collar player during his nine seasons wearing the Ravens purple and black. Johnson, wife Anna, and daughter, Molly-Caroline, reside in Niceville, Fla., close to Eglin Air Force Base. Johnson has long been a supporter of our nations armed forces and with San Diegos large population of Marines and Navy personnel along with the teams outreach to area installations, Johnson felt right at home. Johnson is an avid outdoorsman who loves to boat, hunt and fish. He comes from a family with a long and trying legacy of men who made a living as commercial crabbers and fishTRANSACTION HISTORY: Fourth-round pick (109) by Baltimore, April 27, 2003...signed with Ravens, July 26...resigned with Ravens March 17, 2006, March 6, 2007 and Oct. 10, 2009...contract expired March 13, 2012...signed with Chargers, March 17. 2012: Made 100th-career start Oct. 7 vs. New Orleans... helped seal Nov. 1 win vs. Kansas City with fourth-quarter end zone sack and strip of Matt Cassel that was recovered by Shaun Phillips for touchdown and 24-6 lead...streak of 90-consecutive starts ended Nov. 18 in Denver when team opened game in nickel package...ended NFLs secondlongest streak of consecutive starts among active linebackers...inactive Dec. 2 vs. Cincinnati (back)...ended streak of 140 consecutive games played, which was fourth-longest among active linebackers...rst missed game since rookie season (Dec. 21, 2003 at Cleveland), which was only other missed game during his career...returned to lineup week later and made key play during Dec. 9 win at Pittsburgh, Chargers rst-ever victory in Steel City...in third quarter on
ermen. Beginning with his great-grandfather, all of the men in the Johnson family worked on the water, including his father, Ludwig, who was tragically lost at sea when Jarret was just two weeks shy of his eighth birthday. Johnson grew up fishing with his father and his death took a severe emotional toll. It also left his mother, Aida, alone to take care of Johnson and his sister, Mary Beth, with no job and no insurance. She returned to nursing school and made ends meet working a job as an emergency response technician. The only drawback was that the job required her to drive nearly 150 miles each day to and from work. To aid the family after Ludwigs death, one of Jarrets dads best friends, Harry Rogers, who had worked on oil rigs up in Alaska, relocated to Florida to help Aida and provide Johnson with a father figure. Several years later with life more stable, Aida moved the family to Chiefland, Fla., where Johnson launched his football career at Chiefland High School. It set Johnson on a path in which he would become the first male in the family to not work as a fisherman. For a long time, Johnson resented the water, but a couple of years ago while visiting Rogers in Florida as he was fighting a losing battle with cancer, Johnson stumbled upon an old book that contained some of his fathers old fishing logs. He discovered that his father not only fished for a living, but worked as a fishing guide, a fireman, and he even wrote a fishing report for the local newspaper. This discovery and all that the books contained helped provide Johnson with some closure and it rekindled an interest in fishing and being on the water. Johnson again lives on the water in Niceville where he owns a 22-foot Pathfinder fishing boat and has aspirations of one day becoming a commercial fishing guide. He recently purchased a large boat and name it Hot Spur, in honor of his great grandfather, a Danish immigrant whose first fishing boat went by the same name. And even though Johnson enjoys hunting and fishing, he has a Chocolate Labrador Retriever and has been a spokesperson for the Humane Society and several campaigns aimed at stopping animal abuse. rst play after touchdown had given Bolts 20-3 lead, he drove Steelers tight end backwards into end zone and turned attempted pass into lateral fumble that Quentin Jammer dove on for touchdown and 27-3 lead. 2011: USA Today All-Joe...AFC Defensive Player of Week after fumble recovery and return 26 yards in 34-17 win over NY Jets Oct. 2...started franchise-record 74th-straight game Nov. 20 vs. Cincinnati. 2010: Played in 100th-consecutive game Sept. 26 vs. Cleveland...tied team lead with seven stops to go with sack and forced fumble in 30-24 win over New Orleans Dec. 19...helped hold Saints to 27 yards rushing, fifth-fewest allowed in franchise history... played in 112thstraight game to set new Ravens record Dec. 26 at Cleveland. 2009: Set career-highs with six sacks and two interceptions...career-best two sacks Sept. 13 vs. Kansas City...sack in 100th career game Oct. 11 vs. Cincinnati...interception and eight yard return Dec. 7 at Green Bay...pick and pass defensed in 31-7 win over Chicago Dec. 20 as defense held Jay Cutler to franchise-record-low 7.9 passer rating... first-career playoff sack in Divisional round Jan. 16 at Indi-

COREY LIUGET
Defensive End 6-2, 300 3rd NFL Season 3rd with Chargers Draft 1 11 Illinois Hialeah HS Miami, Fla.
Corey Liuget made tremendous strides in his second NFL season in 2012. He assembled a campaign that earned him the teams defensive player of the year award, but many thought his season should have ended with a trip to Honolulu to represent the AFC in the Pro Bowl. The source of Liugets breakout season actually traced back to the end of his rookie year. The teams first-round pick in the 2011 NFL Draft, Liuget had to grow up in a hurry as the NFL Lockout wiped out what would have been his first offseason. Instead of working out with teammates and studying with coaches, Liuget was forced to go it alone. Then when the lockout ended and the season rolled around, injuries hammered the Chargers defensive line and the young rookie was pressed into immediate duty. Liuget ended up playing in 15 games with 13 starts. By seasons end though, his weight had ballooned to 327 pounds, due in large part to an extended visit from his mom, Lorene, and her home cooking. Rather than continuing to pack on pounds, Liuget made a decision to travel back to Florida where he could train at his alma mater, Hialeah High School in Miami, with former coaches Gary Sanchez, Alex Terry and Steve Smith. The move paid dividends as Liuget lowered his weight to 300 pounds and it set the wheels in motion for his breakthrough season. Liuget went on to lead San Diegos defensive line in sacks (7), tackles (61), tackles for loss (15) and passes defensed (9) in 2012, and his nine passes defensed were second in the NFL among defensive linemen behind Houstons J.J. Watts 15. Liugets improved conditioning also contributed to a strong nish to the season as he tallied ve sacks in the teams last six games, including a career-high two in the Chargers Dec. 23 win over the New York Jets. TRANSACTION HISTORY: First-round pick (18), April 28, 2011...agreed to contract, Aug. 4, 2011. 2012: Chargers Defensive Player of Year (David Griggs Memorial Award)...USA Today All-Joe...Sept. 30 at Kansas City, ended Chiefs second drive of game with tackle for loss and forced fumble that was recovered by Shaun Phillips...

Work ethic is one trait that was drilled into Liuget at an early age. His father, DeJa, was killed while visiting Coreys grandmother in Haiti in 1993. It left Lorene to raise Corey and his four older brothers and sisters as a single parent in Miamis housing projects. When her kids were young, Lorene enlisted their help to make ends meet. She would boil peanuts, make candy apples, conch fritters and sweet potato pies, which Corey and his brothers and sisters would sell. It worked and it taught all of the kids about work ethic and discipline. Liuget went on to have a standout career at Hialeah High. Despite hailing from a close-knit family that tops 100 in number and a strong recruiting push from the big in-state schools, he opted to chart his own path and enroll at the University of Illinois. After a couple of years in Champaign, Ill. though, Liuget grew homesick and contemplated returning home after his sophomore season. Some tough love from his mom persuaded him to stick it out and instead of moping over the situation, Liuget used it as motivation. He lost 25 pounds between his sophomore and junior seasons, and feeling re-invigorated, had a career year for the Fighting Illini in 2010. Liuget then chose to leave school a year early and apply for the NFL Draft. The Chargers loved the toughness, tenacity and relentless approach to the game that he showed and made him their first-ever first-round pick from Illinois. Liuget appreciates living in San Diego, a city with a strong military history, as his two older sisters, Ideidre and Latronika, both serve our country in the Army. This year, Liuget took a vacation to the Dominican Republic and the 6-2, 300-pounder learned to surf and scuba dive. COLLEGE: Honorable mention All-America by Pro Football Weekly and second-team All-Big Ten as junior in 2010...also team captain and Fighting Illini Outstanding defensive lineman...ranked seventh in Big Ten in tackles for loss (12.5) and eighth in sacks (4.5) in 10...Big Ten Defensive Player of Week after 1.5 tackles for loss vs. Fresno State...finished career with 125 tackles, 8.5 sacks, 25.5 tackles for loss, two forced fumbles, three fumble recoveries and 13 quarterback hurries ...played at Illinois from 2008-10...left school after junior season...sociology major.

RYAN MATHEWS
Running Back 6-0, 220 4th NFL Season 4th with Chargers Draft 1 10 Fresno State West HS Bakersfield, Calif.
Ryan Mathews, the ninth-ranked rushing leader in franchise history, has recovered from two broken collarbones and he has his sights set on big goals for 2013. Mathews 2012 season featured its ups and downs as it was marred by the two fluke injuries. He had reported to camp bulked up and in outstanding shape, having trained hard in the teams offseason program. He was looking forward to big things in his third NFL season, but on the third play of the Chargers first preseason game, Mathews suffered a fractured right collarbone. The injury caused him to miss the rest of the preseason and the first two weeks of the regular season. Mathews went on to play in 12 games, starting nine, but in the second quarter of the Chargers Dec. 16 game against Carolina, Mathews fractured his left collarbone and his 2012 season came to an end. Mathews made a significant ascent from year one to year two of his NFL career. The first-round pick in 2010 racked up more than 1,500 yards in 2011, capping the year with an invitation to play in the Pro Bowl, along with a nod as the teams offensive player of the year. Mathews rushed for 1,091 yards and added 455 as a pass-catcher to become just the 14th player in team history to top 1,500 total yards from scrimmage. He was originally tabbed a second-alternate for the Pro Bowl, but when two players ahead of him pulled out of the game, his invitation to Hawaii arrived. It was a deserving honor for a player who ranked seventh in the NFL in scrimmage yards, 10th in rushing yards and seventh in yards per carry. Mathews really found his legs late in the 2011 season, rushing for over 100 yards in three-straight games. During that same stretch, he put together a string of fivestraight games in which he had at least one run of 20 yards or longer. Only two other players in franchise history, Natrone Means and Paul Lowe, had similar streaks. Mathews path to the NFL was a difficult one. He was raised by a single mother, Tricia, who gave birth when she was just 16. With her own mother battling a drug addiction, Tricia turned to relatives to find a place to live and raise Ryan. Unfortunately, she ran out of options and ultimately settled on the backseat of a 1969 Oldsmobile Cutlass Supreme. Their story is both heartbreaking and inspiring. After several months of living in the car, bathing and washing Ryans clothes at a public park and feeding him from a Riverside, Calif. soup kitchen, Tricia found a stable home with her grandmother, Glenna, in nearby Tehachapi. With a roof over her head, Tricia found work while her grandmother looked after young Ryan. Tricia worked up to three jobs a day to save money and support her son. After years of saving and living with Ryans grandmother, Tricia had saved enough money to move them to Bakersfield, where Ryan enrolled at West High School. It was there that Tricia landed a well-paying job, but one of the drawbacks was that it included extensive travel. At the time, the Mathews household had grown by one as Ryans best friend, Dante, had moved in with them to escape a home rife with drug use. With Tricia away working, Ryan and Dante often had the apartment to themselves and as a result, Ryans academics began a steady slide.
Things became particularly bad following a 235-yard, sixtouchdown performance by Mathews in the league championship game his junior year. With a D-average and on the verge of being ineligible for his senior year, Mathews was challenged by both his mother and Fresno State Head Coach Pat Hill, who had heavily recruited the young back. It was a crossroads for the budding star. His mothers plea carried the most weight as she reminded him of the sacrifices she made to raise him and it had a profound effect. Mathews fulfilled a promise to buckle down in school. He maintained his eligibility and proceeded to put together a 3,396-yard, 44-touchdown senior season that had coaches calling from across the country. Despite the attention, Mathews stayed true to his commitment to Coach Hill. A classic downhill runner with a blend of power and speed, Mathews broke out as a junior at Fresno State, rushing for a school-record and NCAA-leading 1,808 yards and 19 touchdowns. He tallied 17 runs of at least 20 yards and enjoyed some of his best days against the nations top defenses, including a 234-yard, three-touchdown performance against Boise State. Mathews became the only player in the nation to rush for more than 100 yards against three Top25 teams in 2009, doing so against No. 5 Cincinnati, No. 6 Boise St. and No. 14 Wisconsin. Eager to make amends for his mothers sacrifices and his own misdeeds, Mathews applied for early entry to the 2010 NFL Draft. Ironically, one of his childhood heroes was LaDainian Tomlinson and Mathews secretly hoped to be drafted by the Chargers. Unbeknownst, the Chargers were so smitten with Mathews that they traded up 16 spots to select him with the 12th overall pick in the first round. And coincidentally, he became the first running back selected by the Chargers in the first round since Tomlinson in 2001. Mathews and his mom now oversee the Trish and Ryan Mathews Door of Hope Chest Foundation. They have partnered with the Salvation Army and assist homeless women and children transition to independent living. Mathews serves as a spokesperson for the Chargers-Kaiser Permanente Bolts to the Q, a 5k run whose proceeds go toward the Salvation Army Door of Hope Chest. Mathews is also working with Shock Doctor, a company that specializes in football protection products. Mathews serves as an ambassador and product development advisor. In his free time, Mathews is a big video gamer. One of his favorite games is World of Warcraft. Last January, Mathews received an invitation to visit Blizzard Entertainments headquarters in Irvine, Calif. to tour the facilities and meet the games development team. In addition to his passion for video games, Mathews enjoys spending time with his two dogs, Goose and Maverick, and watching Quentin Tarantino films. A freakishly talented wakeboarder, Mathews also likes to spend time on the water at the wheel of his MasterCraft ski boat.

ROBERT MEACHEM
VETERANS & RETURNING PLAYERS
Wide Receiver 6-2, 215 7th NFL Season 2nd with Chargers
Robert Meachem is looking forward to 2013. He came to San Diego in 2012 from New Orleans, where he was a firstround pick in 2007 and a Super Bowl champion with the Saints following the 2009 season. He has an impressive resume that includes 155 career catches, 2,476 yards (16.0 avg.) and 25 touchdowns. Meachem was raised in Tulsa, Okla., where he owns an 8.5acre farm that his grandfather, Leon, passed down to Robert when he was born. Meachem learned to ride horses and rope calves before he turned six and it provided a safe haven from Tulsas notoriously violent streets. Meachems dad, Robert, was an accomplished calf roper himself and they traveled to rodeos in California, Nevada, Texas and Louisiana. Meachems very first horse was named Little Man. Meachems other love was basketball. When his father built a regulation-height basket on their farm, Meachem would shoot baskets from the back of his horse. As an eighth grader, he led his AAU team to a national title and in the ninth grade, he faced a team that featured LeBron James and dunked over the Miami Heat star early in the contest. His success on the hardwood continued as he led Tulsas Booker T. Washington High School to back-to-back state titles following the 2001 and 02 seasons. Meachem still plays basketball during the offseason and he has a vast collection of more than 100 pairs of Air Jordan sneakers. TRANSACTION HISTORY: First-round choice by New Orleans (27th overall), April 28, 2007...signed with Saints, July 25, 2007...re-signed with Saints, Sept. 5, 2009...contract expired, March 13, 2012...signed with Chargers, March 15. 2012: Season-long 46-yard catch on 3rd-and-8 set up Chargers first score of season Sept. 10 win at Oakland...season-high two touchdowns (15 and 44 yards) in return to New Orleans Oct. 7 on NBCs Sunday Night Football...first touchdown catch came on 3rd-and-6 play, while second marked 150th career reception. 2011: Team-high 119 yards, including season-long 67-yard touchdown catch, Dec. 4 vs. Detroit...set postseason career highs with four catches and 111 yards, including 56-yard scoring catch in Wild Card Playoffs vs. Detroit. 2010: Tied career high with two touchdown catches Nov. 21 vs. Seattle...helped set up game-winning touchdown in Nov. 25 Thanksgiving game at Dallas with season-long 55-yard catch late in fourth quarter...first 100-yard game of season Dec. 5 at Cincinnati included 55yard touchdown catch and 42-yarder during fourth-quarter
Football, however, was Meachems ticket to success. A Parade All-America as a prep, he blossomed into a collegiate All-American at Tennessee and opted to leave school after his junior season. Meachem has a spiritual side. It comes from his late sister, Tammie, who was 12 years older and helped raise him as a child. She taught him about tough love and helped him develop into a young man. Tammie suffered from severe asthma and a non-related skin disease and passed when Meachem was just in seventh grade. Meachem and his wife, Shea, have three daughters, Adrianna, Ryli and Harlan. The family has been very active in the community, hosting Christmas toy drives in New Orleans while also running the Follow Your Dreams Foundation, whose mission is to help youth get involved in community activities and to help provide them with avenues to participate in sports, music lessons and cultural activities. Meachem awards college scholarships and he hosts a football camp in Tulsa that is only open to kids who participate in his Read 60 Program, a literacy program that encourages young people ages 8-18 to take 60 minutes each day to read. One of Meachems distant cousins is former Chargers wide receiver and kick returner, Eric Metcalf. His hobbies include traveling and going to the movies. game-winning touchdown drive...career-high 10 catches for 101 yards Dec. 27 at Atlanta. 2009: Led Saints with careerhigh 10 touchdowns...career-long 41-yard run and 27-yard scoring catch Nov. 15 at St. Louis...first-career two-TD game Nov. 22 at Tampa Bay...late in second quarter Dec. 6 at Washington, stripped ball from safety Kareem Moore after interception, recovered ball in mid air and returned it 44 yards for touchdown that tied game at 17-17...finished Redskins game with eight catches for career-high 142 yards, including 53-yard touchdown catch that tied game with just over minute remaining in fourth quarter...Saints won game, 33-30, in overtime...set up game-winning field goal with 12-yard catch to Minnesota 22 in Jan. 24 NFC Championship Game. 2008: First-career NFL catch was good for 19-yard touchdown Sept. 14 at Washington... career-long 74-yard catch Sept. 21 at Denver...two catches Sept. 28 at San Francisco, one good for 52 yards and other for 47-yard touchdown...first-career rushing touchdown on 20-yard reverse Dec. 21 at Detroit. 2007: Inactive for all 16 games.

DAVID MOLK
Center 6-1, 300 2nd NFL Season 2nd with Chargers Draft 7A 12 Michigan Lemont Township HS Lemont, Ill.
While most of the playing time during his rookie season was spent on special teams, Molk gained valuable experience working with Pro Bowl center Nick Hardwick both on the practice field and in meetings. Molk joined the Chargers from the University of Michigan where he won the 2011 Rimington Award as the nations best center. He was a finalist for the Rimington Award in 2010, a consensus first-team All-America in 11 and a firstteam All-Big Ten pick his final two seasons in Ann Arbor. When Molk did win the Rimington Award, he became only the second Wolverines player to win the award and he was the schools first outright winner. At Michigan, Molk became a starter during his redshirt freshman year and he didnt miss a start until his final collegiate game. During warmups for the 2012 Sugar Bowl, Molk felt a pop in his foot and coaches opted to sit the fifth-year senior. As he watched the offense struggle on the first series due in part to a couple of errant snaps, Molk put himself into TRANSACTION HISTORY: Seventh-round pick (226), April 28, 2012...signed May 9. 2012: Took over at right guard for injured Louis Vasquez Nov. 18 at Denver...injured thumb Dec. 2 vs. Cincinnati... placed on Reserve-Injured Dec. 4 and missed final four games.

the game for the second series and he didnt miss a snap the rest of the way as the Wolverines rallied for a 23-20 win over Virginia Tech. Molk, who was a three-time Athlete of the Year by the National Strength and Conditioning Association, drew raves at the 12 NFL Combine after posting the most bench-press reps among centers at 225 pounds (41). Molk is a special talent who plays football and lives life with a never-say-die attitude. Its a mantra that came from losing his mom, Gail, to breast cancer when he was just in the seventh grade. She had battled cancer for 12 years and in its final stages it had reached her brain. Before her passing though, Molk scored a touchdown during the final game she ever saw him play and after crossing the goal line, he ran right from the end zone to her seat above the field and presented her with the ball.

Inside Linebacker 6-2, 240 3rd NFL Season 3rd with Chargers Draft 2B - 11 Michigan Venice HS Los Angeles, Calif.
For nearly two years, Jonas Mouton was chomping at the bit to take the field. He finally got his chance late in 2012 and played in three of the teams final five games. An inside linebacker, Mouton was the second of the teams two second-round picks in 2011. A promising training camp and first preseason though was derailed when a shoulder injury sent Mouton to the Reserve-Injured list. Behind his teammates in practice and experience, Mouton patiently waited for his opportunity and he made his long-awaited NFL debut last December against Cincinnati. Prior to his being drafted, Mouton was the Big Ten ConferTRANSACTION HISTORY: Second-round pick (61), April 29, 2011...signed July 28, 2011. 2012: NFL debut Dec. 2 vs. Cincinnati. 2011: Injured shoulder during preseason...placed on Reserve-Injured list Sept. 22.

NICK NOVAK
Kicker 6-0, 198 6th NFL Season 4th with Chargers Free Agent - 12 Maryland Albemarle HS Charlottesville, Va.
The trials and tribulations of Nick Novaks NFL career are the kind that would discourage most, but the San Diego native has an intense desire to succeed and hes become a shining star for the Chargers. His dedication and perseverance were rewarded this March when the Chargers signed the hometown kid to a new four-year contract that will keep him in San Diego through 2016. Novak originally linked up with the Chargers in 2010. It was a chance for a fresh start. In 2009, with no opportunities to kick for a team and the country mired in a financial crisis, Novak spent the year at his alma mater, the University of Maryland, cold-calling alumni looking for donations. Though he ended up losing a close training camp competition to Nate Kaeding, the NFLs most-accurate kicker of all-time, his stint with the Chargers put him back on footballs radar screen. The Chargers had been the sixth team Novak had spent time with after brief stints in Chicago, Dallas, Washington, Arizona and Kansas City. After the Chargers let him go, Novak caught on with the Florida Tuskers of the fledgling UFL. It was a positive career move. He hit 15 of 18 field goals for the Tuskers and was named the leagues Special Teams MVP. Later that same season, the Chargers actually attempted to re-sign Novak after Kaeding suffered a groin injury, but the UFLs rules and stipulations prevented the Bolts from doing so. In 2011, a seventh teamthe New York Jetssigned him, but again he lost a close competition, this time to veteran Nick Folk. Disappointed, Novak returned to San Diego to live and train. He happened to be having lunch with former NFL kicker Michael Husted the day of the Chargers 2011 season opener against Minnesota when Kaeding injured his knee on the games opening kickoff. Just days later, Novak got the call he long waited for. The Chargers called and wanted to sign him as the teams replacement for Kaeding. Novak went on to enjoy a storybook season for the Chargers. A career 63.3-percent field goal kicker prior to 2011, he made his first 12 field goals for the Bolts, including two in a three-point win over Kansas City, four in a 10-point win over Miami and five in a five-point win at Denver that included a then career-long 51-yarder and a clutch 35 yarder with just 24 seconds left in the fourth quarter. Novak finished the season making 27 of 34, while setting team records for field goals of 40 (12) and 50 (4) yards or longer. The 2012 season was a virtual instant replay for Novak. Healthy, Kaeding returned to the roster and edged out Novak in another close training camp battle. It was so close in fact that some thought Novak might have won the job after hitting a game-winning 45-yard field goal as time expired in the teams third preseason game at Minnesota.

Again Novak was disappointed at his release, but he continued to train. Then just two days before the Chargers fourth game of the 2012 season, Kaeding injured his groin in practice and within a couple hours, Novak had returned to Chargers Park, signed a contract and boarded a plane to fly with the team to Kansas City. Two days later inside Arrowhead Stadium, Novak went 3-for-3 on field goal tries, hitting from 24, 47 and 45 yards, and he helped the Bolts to a 3720 win and a 3-1 start to the season. Within weeks of Novaks re-joining the team, the Chargers released Kaeding and officially handed him the job. He responded by going 18-of-20 for the season, including a perfect 18-18 from inside 50 yards. His 90-percent conversion rate was the third-highest for a season in team history. Novak also helped the Chargers rank among the league leaders in drive starts following kickoffs. Opponents began their drives at the 20.4-yard line, third best in the NFL, as 22 of his 62 kickoffs went for touchbacks. Novak is one of the teams most active community participants. He regularly visits area schools to speak on important topics, including bullying. Hes hosted free kicking clinics. In 2011, he lent his name and his right leg to the American Cancer Society in honor of a family friend, Annie Arth, who died of ovarian and breast cancer in 2005, Novak helped raise more than $7,500 for ACS, contributing $100 for every made field goal, a total that was matched by both the Chargers and his agent. Last season, Novak steered his financial contributions toward the Chloe Nichols Foundation, which provides college scholarships for students involved in creative arts, while also bringing attention to the serious medical warnings and possible side effects of prescription drugs. Novak was born in San Diego, which makes his story even more fascinating. He lived here until he was 13, when his parents relocated to work at the University of Virginia. One of Novaks close friends growing up was Kellen Winslow, Jr., son of the Chargers Hall of Fame tight end by the same name. The two share the same godmother. Novak went to the University of Maryland after a stellar high school football and soccer career in Virginia. He was a scholarathlete for the Terrapins and twice beat Philip Rivers and North Carolina State with late fourth-quarter kicks. In 2011, Novak participated in the NFL Business Management and Entrepreneurial Program at the Harvard Business School. Novaks mom, Julie, a nurse at the Health Science Center at the University of Texas-San Antonio, was recently inducted into the American Academy of Nursing. His dad, Bob, also works in healthcare as an audiologist, working with wounded veterans. 13...released Aug. 27, 2012...re-signed Sept. 29... signed new four-year contract with Chargers, March 12, 2013. 2012: Hit from 24, 47 and 45 in season debut during 3720 win Sept. 30 at Kansas City...32nd career field goal Oct. 15 vs. Denver to move into tie with Ray Wersching for seventh on teams career field goals list...two field goals, including 51-yarder, to move into tie with Steve Christie (42) for sixth on teams all-time list Dec. 9 at Pittsburgh...51-yard

KENDALL REYES
Defensive End 6-4, 300 2nd NFL Season 2nd with Chargers Draft 2 12 Connecticut Nashua North HS Nashua, N.H.
If the Chargers handed out a rookie of the year award in 2012, it likely would have gone to Kendall Reyes, the teams second-round pick in the 2012 NFL Draft. The defensive lineman from the University of Connecticut and tiny Nashua North High School in New Hampshire exceeded expectations in his first professional season. Reyes led the Chargers defensive line with 19 quarterback pressures and 15 quarterback hits, and he finished the year third on the team with 5.5 sacks and nine tackles for loss. He recorded his first two NFL sacks against future Hall of Fame quarterback Peyton Manning and on Dec. 23 during a road win against the New York Jets, racked up 3.5 sacks, the most by a Chargers rookie in 26 years. Reyes closed out his initial campaign by earning All-Rookie honors from ESPN.com. To those in Reyes hometown, his success came as little surprise. As a prep, however, Reyes was a 220-pound wide receiver and not the 300-pound defensive end that he morphed into as a pro. In high school, he scored the first touchdown in his schools history on an 85-yard kickoff return. He also excelled on the hardwood, starting at power forward for the schools basTRANSACTION HISTORY: Second-round pick (49), April 27, 2012...signed May 11. 2012: ESPN All-Rookie Team...led team with three quarterback pressures and three hits on Drew Brees in Oct. 7 NBC Sunday Night Football game at New Orleans...first two NFL sacks vs. Denvers Peyton Manning Nov. 18 at Sports Authority Field...racked up 3.5 sacks Dec. 23 vs. New York Jets...most sacks by Chargers rookie since Leslie ONeals five vs. Dallas in 1986...sacks resulted in 18.5 yards in losses... helped put away game late with back to back 2nd and 3rd-down sacks.
ketball team and he was one of states premier track and field performers. It led him to Connecticut where Reyes added 80 pounds to his wide receivers frame and became an All-Big East defensive end who is so athletic that he can complete a running backflip. And when the Chargers drafted him with the 49th overall pick in the 2012 NFL Draft, Reyes became Nashua North High Schools first NFL draft pick and the first player from Nashua to be drafted since the Cincinnati Bengals selected tackle Herb Webster in the fifth round of the 1988 NFL Draft. Reyes still spends quite a bit of time in Nashua during the offseason. In March, the Boys and Girls Club of Greater Nashua inducted him into its Hall of Fame. Reyes spent much of his time as a youth at the Club, where he sharpened his athletic and academic skills. Now he works with the Club to help develop initiatives for todays youth.

CHAD RINEHART
Guard 6-5, 321 6th NFL Season 1st with Chargers UFA (Buffalo) - 13 Northern Iowa Boone HS Boone, Iowa
When free agency dawned in March 2013, the Chargers wasted little time in bolstering their offensive line with the signing of a veteran player who can line up at either guard spot. The Chargers got just that player in Rinehart, who will play for his former position coaches in Buffalo: offensive line coaches Joe DAlessandris and Andrew Dees. Rinehart was limited to seven games and two starts for the Bills in 2012 due to an ankle injury that landed him on the Reserve-Injured list, but in 2011 he played in all 16 games, making eight starts at right guard and four at left guard. During that 11 season, Buffalos offensive line allowed a leaguelow 23 sacks (third-fewest in team history) and the teams 4.9 rush average was the leagues fth-best and tops in the AFC. Coming out of college at Northern Iowa, Rinehart was one of the nations most highly-touted players.

PHILIP RIVERS
Quarterback 6-5, 228 10th NFL Season 10th with Chargers Trade (New York Giants)-04 North Carolina State Athens HS Athens, Ala.
The most accurate and procient quarterback in franchise history, Philip Rivers is looking forward to playing for new Head Coach Mike McCoy, Offensive Coordinator Ken Whisenhunt and Quarterbacks Coach Frank Reich in 2013. It will be his 10th season with the San Diego Chargers and his eighth as the teams starting quarterback. A four-time Pro Bowl pick and a four-time team MVP, Rivers is the Chargers franchise leader in completion percentage (63.6) and passer rating (94.5). He threw for 3,606 yards and 26 touchdowns in 2012, extending his teamrecord streaks of 3,500-yard passing seasons and 25 touchdown seasons to ve. Only ve quarterbacks in NFL history can claim ve or more consecutive seasons with at least 25 touchdown passes, including Peyton Manning (1998-2010), Brett Favre (1994-98), Dan Marino (1984-88), Drew Brees (2006-12) and Aaron Rodgers (2008-12). Rivers also passed John Hadls career yardage total during the season to become the second-most prolic passer in team history. Rivers enters the 2013 season with 27,891 career passing yards, 189 touchdowns and a 94.5 career passer rating. As he nears 30,000 yards and 200 touchdowns, only 34 quarterbacks in NFL history have thrown for more than 30,000 yards, only 33 have thrown more than 200 touchdown passes and his passer rating ranks sixth in NFL history among quarterbacks with at least 1,500 attempts. In seven seasons as the teams starting quarterback, Rivers has led the Chargers to four AFC West titles, three secondplace nishes, a record of 70-42 (.625) as a starter (regularseason), a 30-12 (.714) mark in AFC West games and a 40-16 (.714) ledger at Qualcomm Stadium. Rivers knack for strong nishes came to the forefront again in 2012 as he led the Chargers to December road wins over the Pittsburgh Steelers and New York Jets. The NFLs secondhighest rated passer in December/January (98.6) with a 61-to19 touchdown-to-interception ratio, including eight touchdowns and only one interception in 2012, Rivers improved his record in those months to 29-5. Only Green Bays Aaron Rodgers has a better Dec./Jan. passer rating than Rivers (105.9). Rivers also maintained his position as one of the NFLs top quarterbacks for the second half of the season. His 96.7 passer rating in Weeks 9-16 is third all-time and his record after Nov. 1 is 45-17 (.726). Besides his wife Tiffany and the couples six children (four girls and two boys), Rivers main devotion has been geared toward helping to nd permanent, loving homes for foster kids. In 2011, he was named one of three nalists for the prestigious Walter Payton NFL Man of the Year Award for his work with the Rivers of Hope Foundation, an endeavor he and Tiffany oversaw from 2010-12 to help unwanted, abandoned and orphaned children. The Foundation raised more than $1,000,000 for the cause through football camps, a 5K Fun Run and personal contributions from Rivers. The Foundation also supported the San Pasqual Academy, a residential education campus designed specically for foster teens. Rivers originally came to the Chargers in 2004 in a blockbuster trade with the New York Giants. Less than an hour after the Bolts selected Eli Manning with the No. 1 pick in the 04 NFL Draft, Manning was on his way to the Big Apple in exchange for Rivers and a slew of draft picks. Rivers spent the
majority of his first two years on the sidelines behind Drew Brees, taking the reigns in 2006. His first campaign was memorable as Rivers was voted to the Pro Bowl after leading the Chargers to a team-record 14 wins, including 10-straight to close out the season. The Chargers finished undefeated at home for the first time in team history and the 06 squad scored a team-record 492 points. During the season, Rivers became the first quarterback in NFL history to rally a team from 17-point deficits in consecutive weeks. During those two wins at Cincinnati and Denver, Rivers led 19-straight scoring drives that ended in touchdowns, a team record and the fifth-longest streak in NFL history. Rivers finished the year as the NFL leader in passer rating during the fourth quarter (116.6) and the third and fourth quarters combined (99.3). In Rivers second season as a starter (2007), he led the Chargers to the AFC Championship Game. The Chargers took an eight-game win streak into the title game and Rivers toughness, both mental and physical, was put on full display in the final weeks of the regular season and the playoffs. During a December victory at Tennessee, Rivers had to leave the game after spraining his knee in the first half. He returned in the second half and led the Chargers to a come-from-behind victory in overtime. He continued to play and fought through the final month of the season in severe pain. A different knee injury sent him to the sideline during the Bolts Divisional Playoff game in Indianapolis and after backup Billy Volek led the Chargers to an improbable win over the Colts, Rivers had arthroscopic surgery to repair a torn ACL on Monday and just six days later he started and took every snap on a frigid day in the AFC Championship Game at New England. In 2008, Rivers threw a team record 34 touchdown passes, tied with Brees for most in the NFL. He recorded his first 4,000-yard season led the league with a passer rating of 105.5, also a team record, while joining Brees as the only Chargers quarterbacks to post a season rating of 100.0 or higher. Rivers posted the NFLs second-highest passer rating on third downs (110.7) and in the fourth quarter (111.7), throwing an NFL-best 15 touchdown passes on third down while leading the Chargers to an NFL-best 152 points in the fourth quarter. He logged six 300-yard games, the most since Fouts had seven in 1985, including back-to-back games, something not done by a Chargers quarterback since 1991. And Rivers capped off 2008 with a sensational December, leading the Chargers to the playoffs
with a 4-0 mark to improve his career record in December to 14-0. Rivers completed 80 of 121 (.661) for 1,054 yards, 11 touchdowns and just one interception. His passer rating for the month, a lofty 120.3, was second in the NFL. The 2009 season saw Rivers selected to the Chargers 50th Anniversary All-Time Team. He threw for 4,254 yards, tossed 28 touchdown passes and posted a rating of 104.4. He was one of only ve QBs in 09 to pass for more than 4,000 yards, throw 25 or more touchdowns and record a season passer rating higher than 100.0. Four times tied with Brett Favre for most in the NFL Rivers posted a single-game passer rating of 130.0 or better. During an 11-game win streak to close out the regular season, Rivers completed 69.0% of his passes and posted a rating of 112.0. He threw 21 touchdown passes and only six interceptions and his cumulative passer rating during those 11 weeks was the highest in the NFL. In 2010, Rivers threw for a career-high and NFL-leading 4,710 yards. It was the 10th-most yards for a single season in NFL history and third-most in team history. He posted a career-high six 300-yard games, including a team-record 455-yard performance in Seattle. The 4,000-yard season was his third-straight, tying Fouts for the most in team history. By the midpoint of the 10 season, Rivers had thrown for 2,649 yards, an NFL record for the rst eight games of a season, breaking yet another mark which Fouts (2,580) had set in 1982. Rivers completed an NFLleading 66 passes of at least 20 yards, 12 of which went for touchdowns, second-most in the NFL. Rivers ranked second in the NFL in passer rating (101.8), capping a 2008-10 stretch in which he was the only quarterback in the league to post a season passer rating over 100 each season. He joined Steve Young and Peyton Manning as the only passers ever to post a rating of 100.0-or-higher for three straight years. Rivers rating was bolstered team single-season record 66.0% completion percentage. Rivers also threw 30 touchdown passes to become the rst quarterback in team history with 25 or more in three-straight seasons. It included a team-record stretch of 23 straight games with a touchdown pass, surpassing the previous mark of 20TRANSACTION HISTORY: Drafted in first-round (4) by New York Giants, April 24, 2004traded to Chargers, April 24, 2004signed six-year contract, Aug. 24, 2004...signed six-year extension thru 2015, Aug. 24, 2009. 2012: made 100th-career and 100th-straight start Sept. 30 at Kansas City...rst completion of game, 14-yard screen to Jackie Battle, was 2,000th-career completed pass...also surpassed 25,000 career passing yards during Chiefs contest (104th career game) to become seventh fastest player to 25,000 yards...season-high 354-yards Oct. 7 at New Orleans...rst-career four-interception game Oct. 15 vs. Denver...completed team-record 90.0% of passes (18 of 20) Nov. 1 vs. Kansas City in NFL Network Thursday Night game only sixth time in NFL history that quarterback completed 90 percent or better in game (min. 20 att.)...completed rst 13 passes of game, tying mark for third-most consecutive completions in game in team historyrst incompletion of game was pass intentionally thrown out of back of end zone...passed for career-high 148 yards in rst quarter Nov. 11 at Tampa Bay...ended rst half 16 of 18 for 218 yards with three touchdowns and no interceptions for rating of 156.7...passed for 228 yards Nov. 25 vs. Baltimore to raise career total to 27,105 and move past John Hadl (26,938) for second-most career yards in team history...tied seasonhigh with three touchdown passes in 34-24 win at Pittsburgh Dec. 9...posted season-high passer rating (142.0) in Dec. 30 nale vs. Oakland. 2011: Pro Bowl...Chargers MVP...335 yards Sept. 11 vs. Minnesota were most in season opener...capped 13th-career fourthquarter come back with 19-yard touchdown
straight set by Fouts during the 1979-80 seasons. Amidst that streak was a pair of four-TD efforts in consecutive games against Houston and Denver, something that only Fouts (1985) and Brees (2004) had previously done for the Chargers. Eleven different players caught touchdown passes from Rivers in 2010, most in team history for a non-strike season. The 2011 season saw Rivers complete a team-record 366 passes and threw for 4,624 yards. He joined Dan Marino (1980-81), Warren Moon (1990-91), Manning (2009-10) and Brees (2010-11) as the only players in NFL history with backto-back 4,500-yard passing seasons. And he joined Manning (1999-04 and 2006-10) and Brees (2006-11) as the only quarterbacks with at least four-straight 4,000-yard seasons. Demonstrating great peripheral vision and eld awareness, four players had at least 50 catches for the Chargers in 2011, something that had only been done two other times in team history (1984 and 05). Late in the season, Rivers assembled a career-long string of 170 passes without an interception, easily surpassing his previous best of 143. Rivers grew up in Decatur, Alabama. His dad, Steve, a former linebacker at Mississippi State, was the head football coach at Decatur High School and Philip was a water boy for the team. Shortly before Philip was set to enroll at Decatur, Steve took the head coaching job at nearby Athens HS and Philip followed. He played linebacker as a sophomore and moved to quarterback as a junior. After graduation, he enrolled at North Carolina State where he led the Wolfpack to four bowl games and a 34-17 record, including 3-1 in bowl games. A five-time MVP in Bowl games, including the 2004 Senior Bowl, Rivers is still the Wolfpacks all-time leader for career passing yards (13,484), attempts (1,710), completions (1,087), touchdowns (95), completion percentage (63.6%), and 300 (19) and 400yard games (seven). His passing yardage total still ranks seventh all-time among Division-I quarterbacks. The latest Rivers prodigy, Philips younger brother, Stephen, is a redshirt sophomore quarterback at LSU. He wears the same No. 17 that Philip wears in San Diego. pass to Mike Tolbert with 5:01 remaining...went over 20,000 career pass yards Sept. 18 at New England on 29-yard pass to Vincent Jackson on rst completion of game...rst rushing touchdown (two yards) since 2009 Oct. 9 at Denver...tied career high with four touchdown passes Nov. 6 vs. Green Bay, including rst opening drive touchdown of season...was fourth-career 4-TD gamenished with 385 yards, fourthhighest of career...also threw three interceptions vs. Packers, ending NFL-record streak of games started at start of career without a three-interception game at 90previous mark (57) was set by Hall of Fame QB Joe Montana...Nov. 20 at Chicago, threw 150th and 151st touchdown passes of career to join Dan Fouts (254) and John Hadl (201) as only players in franchise history and 75th player in NFL history with 150 career scoring strikes...also went over 3,000 yards for season in game, marking sixth-straight year...posted season-high 146.1 passer rating in 38-14 win at Jacksonville Dec. 5 on ESPNs Monday Night Football...completed 22 of 28 (.786) for 294 yards with three touchdowns and no interceptions...52-yard touchdown pass to Malcom Floyd was Chargers longest since Week 4 vs. Miami...nished game with 1,842 career completions to pass John Hadl (1,824) for second in team history...three touchdown passes Dec. 11 vs. Buffalo increased season total to 22 marking at least 21 touchdown passes in all six seasons as starter...went over 4,000 yards for team-record fourth-consecutive season during NBC Sunday Night Football game vs. Baltimore Dec. 18...interception late in fourth quarter Dec. 24 at Detroit was rst since Nov. 20 at Chicago and ended career-best string of 170-straight passes without one...was second-longest stretch in team history (Drew Brees, 194). 2010: Pro Bowl...NFL Alumni Association quarterback of Year...

EDDIE ROYAL
Wide Receiver-Kick Returner 5-10, 185 6th NFL Season 2nd with Chargers UFA (Denver) - 12 Virginia Tech Westfield HS Chantilly, Va.
Eddie Royal will be reunited in 2013 with new Chargers Head Coach Mike McCoy, his former offensive coordinator in Denver. Royal joined the Chargers as a free agent in 2012, ready to contribute as a slot receiver while handling the teams punt return responsibilities. But a series of setbacks hampered the beginning of his career in San Diego. Royal suffered a groin injury during the rst day of training camp and shortly thereafter, his mom fell ill and he found himself making several trips home to Virginia to be by her side. Despite the slow start in San Diego, Royal nished the year strong and hes condent that a healthy season awaits and that he will have an opportunity to display his game-changing talents for Chargers fans in 2013. Compactly built at 5-10 and 185 pounds, Royal opened eyes at the NFL Combine in 2008 when he bench-pressed 225 pounds 24 times, most among all receivers. The Broncos made him a second round pick that year and he immediately let his presence be felt, racking up nine catches for 146 yards and a touchdown in his NFL debut against the Oakland Raiders. When the 08 season concluded, Royal earned All-Rookie honors from both Pro Football Weekly and the Professional Football Writers of America, as well as The Sporting News after a TRANSACTION HISTORY: Second-round pick (42) by Denver, April 26, 2008...signed July 24...contract expired March 13, 2012...signed with Chargers, March 16. 2012: First touchdown catch of season (4 yards) to give Bolts 7-0 lead during Sept. 30 win at Kansas City...seasonlong 31-yard catch on 3rd-and-7 helped set up eld goal in Dec. 30 season-ending win vs. Oakland. 2011: Injured groin Sept. 18 vs. Cincinnati and inactive next three games... caught 26-yard touchdown pass and returned punt careerlong 85 yards for touchdown in 50th career game, 38-24 win at Oakland Nov. 6...second Bronco to return punt and catch touchdown in same game...30-yard touchdown catch in rst playoff game Jan. 8 vs. Pittsburgh. 2010: Sixth in NFL with 11.9-yard punt return average...eight catches for season-high 113 yards and touchdown Oct. 3 at Tennessee, including season-long 41-yard catch. 2009: Set Denver record for receptions through players rst two years (128) while totaling second-most receiving yards (1,325) during span...10 catches Oct. 11 vs. New England to tie as thirdfastest player in NFL history to reach 100 career receptions ...AFC Special Teams Player of Week and AFC Special Teams Player of Month (October) after becoming 11th player in NFL history to return punt (71 yds.) and kickoff (93 yds.) for touchdown in same game, Oct. 19 at San Diego... kickoff return was fth longest in Broncos history. 2008: All-Rookie pick by Pro Football Weekly/PFWA and The Sporting News...sixth in NFL with 1,829 combined yards, most among rookies in 08 and third-most by Broncos rookie...seventh in league in kickoff return average (26.1 yds.)... made ve plays of at least 50 yards...had teams longest punt return of season (36 yards) Sept. 28 at Kansas City,

Royal also set Broncos rookie records in all three categories, he led all NFL rookies in those categories, and he became the leagues rst player since the NFL merger in 1970 to record his teams longest run, reception, kickoff return and punt return in the same season. Royals sister, Capt. Christina Royal, is a graduate of the Virginia Tech Corps of Cadets and she is currently a special agent in the United States Air Forces Ofce of Special Investigations. She was the rst-ever female regimental commander and the rst-ever African-American regimental commander for the Corps of Cadets, where she was in charge of all the cadets at the school.

In 2007, Chris was the 2007 Spalding Rookie of the Year for the Wilkes-Barre/Scranton Pioneers of AF2. Currently, he is a graduate assistant coach at Marshall.

Punter 6-2, 215 11th NFL Season 11th with Chargers Draft 5 - 03 Western Illinois Destrehan HS Destrehan, La.
Mike Scifres (SIGH-fres) boomed his way into the Chargers record books in 2012. Already the teams record-holder for career punting average (45.3), Scifres was voted the teams Special Teams Player of the Year last season after setting a new team record with an average of 48.3 yards per punt, a mark that shattered the previous high of 46.7, which he set back in 2010. And thanks to the Chargers outstanding coverage units, Scifres posted a 40.6-yard net average in 2012, second in the franchises 53-year history. Scifres also maintained his grip as the NFLs most accurate punter of all time. In 2012, he dropped 30 of 81 punts inside the 20 (37.0%) and heads into 2013 as the most accurate of all-time among punters with at least 500 career attempts, landing 227 of 573 (39.6%) inside the 20. Scifres was drafted by the Chargers in 2003 at the recommendation of Kyle Smith, the son of former Chargers General Manager A.J. Smith. As a freshman at Youngstown State, Smith had returned punts against Scifres, who played for Missouri Valley Conference foe, Western Illinois. He spent his first season learning behind Chargers Hall of Fame punter Darren Bennett and then took over full-time punting duties in 2004. Since then, Scifres has become a member of the Chargers 50th Anniversary All-Time Team, a six-time Pro Bowl alternate (2004-09) and a two-time Chargers Special Teams Player of the Year. To put his career into historical context, Scifres has punted 573 times and among punters with at least that many attempts, his gross average (45.3) ranks fourth and his net average (38.5) ranks fifth. Complete punting statistics that include opponent returns and touchbacks only date to 1976, but since those statistics have been kept, Scifres 244 returns against are the second-fewest and his 52 touchbacks are the third-fewest. Scifres, who has punted in eight playoff games during his career, enjoyed his breakout moment during a 2007 divisional playoff win in Indianapolis that sent the Chargers to the AFC Championship Game in New England. He set a team postseason record against the Colts by averaging 59.0 yards per punt, including a postseason team-record 66-yarder with the Bolts backed up at their own 14-yard line and only 1:42 left in the fourth quarter. Kicking from his own goal line, the Colts fielded Scifres punt all the way back at their own 20, and his effort lit a fire on the Chargers sideline. San Diegos defense then promptly went out and ended the Colts season on downs four plays later, sending the Chargers on to the title game. Scifres upswing continued into 2008 as he set a team record and ranked third in the league with a 40.9-yard net average. He and the Chargers coverage teams allowed zero or negative punt return yards in seven of 16 games and Scifres had only five TRANSACTION HISTORY: Fifth-round pick (149), April 27, 2003signed, July 19signed four-year contract extension through 2011, Nov. 3, 2005...signed new five-year contract extension through 2016, Sept. 7, 2011. 2012: Chargers Special Teams Player of Year...500th punt of career Sept. 23 vs. Atlanta...Oct. 28 at Cleveland, raised career punt total to 522 and passed Dennis Partee (519) for second in team history...had punts blocked in consecutive
touchbacks in 51 punts (9.8%) for the entire season. He landed 19 of 51 (37.3%) inside the 20. Among players with 40-or-more punts, only two allowed fewer than Scifres 146 return yards, and only five teams had more than 15 punt return yards against the Chargers all season. Scifres outstanding season carried into the playoffs where he enjoyed a record-breaking night in an AFC Wild Card Playoff win over the Colts. He landed all six of his punts inside the 20, the highest number and percentage of punts ever landed inside the 20 during a playoff game, and averaged a playoffrecord 51.7 net yards per punt as the Colts managed just six punt return yards for the entire game. The Colts were forced to start drives at their own 10, 19, 3, 7, 9 and 1-yard lines following punts and his last punt may have been his best as it rolled out of bounds at the one-yard line and set the stage for the Chargers to make a late fourth-quarter comeback. The 2011 season was another that turned out to be memorable for Scifres. Just days before the regular season began, the team signed him to a five-year contract extension that will run through the 2016 season. When he put pen to paper though, little did Scifres realize that within a few days, his workload would also include kickoffs, field goals and point after tries. That happened in the 11 season opener against Minnesota after Nate Kaeding suffered a season-ending knee injury on the opening kickoff of the season. Scifres, who on paper always had been the teams backup kicker but had never actually been called upon to do so, coolly responded by hitting three extra points and a game-tying 40-yard field goal early in the fourth quarter en route to a 24-17 victory. It was his first made field goal in a live game since his sophomore year in college when he kicked a 56-yard game-winner in overtime against Northern Iowa for a conference title. Beyond his heroics in Week 1, Scifres posted some eyepopping numbers in 2011. He averaged 47.5 yards per punt and fell just three attempts shy of qualifying for the teams single-season record (min. 50). Scifres punted 47 times in 11, he finished the year ranked sixth in the NFL in gross punting average and had only two touchbacks, tying his career low. A native of Destrehan, La., one of Scifres prep teammates was Baltimore Ravens safety Ed Reed. When the two were high school teammates, Reed was actually the superior punter and as a result, Scifres was relegated to kickoffs, field goals and extra points. The two have remained good friends and today look back and laugh at their high school exploits. Scifres hobbies include golf, weightlifting and Pilates. He and his wife, Stacie, have twin daughters Berkeley and Bristyn, and a son, Brodyn.

VETERANS & RETURNING PLAYERS
In late April, the Chargers added a promising young defender to their linebacking corps when they claimed Smith off waivers from the Green Bay Packers. A sixth-round pick by the Packers in 2011, Smith was the only member of their rookie class to appear in all 16 games. Last season Smith moved into the Packers starting lineup for the first six games of the season after starter Desmond Bishop suffered a hamstring injury in the 2012 preseason opener in San Diego. Smith collected 42 tackles and two sacks in the Packers first six games, but he suffered a serious knee injury Week 6 at Houston and spent the remainder of the season on Reserve-Injured.

MAX STARKS
Tackle 6-8, 345 10th NFL Season 1st with Chargers UFA (Pittsburgh) - 13 Florida Lake Highland Prep HS Orlando, Fla.
The Chargers added a wealth of experience to their roster in May when they agreed to a contract with former Pittsburgh Steelers offensive tackle Max Starks. The 6-8 Starks is expected to compete with 6-9 King Dunlap for the starting left tackle job in one of the tallest competitions in recent memory. Starks spent his first nine NFL seasons with the Steelers, including 2012 when he started all 16 games at left tackle. It was an impressive accomplishment, considering that Starks had suffered a torn ACL during the Steelers Wild Card Playoff loss in Denver at the end of the 2011 season, yet he bounced back and played every offensive snap for the Steelers in 2012. It wasnt the first time that Starks had overcome serious injury. In 2010, Starks suffered a neck injury which required a surgical procedure that included a cervical fusion. It was an injury that kept him sidelined until October of the 2011 season, but Starks made it back to the field and started the final 12 games for the Steelers. Toward the end of their season, his teammates voted him their winner of the Ed Block Courage Award for his perseverance in overcoming the injury. A native of Orlando, Florida and a former Florida Gator, the Steelers selected Starks in the third round of the 2004 NFL Draft (75th overall). He won two Super Bowl rings with Pittsburgh, starting at right tackle in Super Bowl XL after the 2005 season and starting at left tackle in Super Bowl XLIII at the end of the 2008 season. Starks has experience at both tackle positions while starting 96 of 123 regular-season games played and eight of his 10 career playoff games. Starks is a second-generation NFL player. His biological father, Ross Browner, was one of six relatives who played in the NFL. Browner was a first-round pick of the Cincinnati Bengals in 1978 (No. 3 overall). He played defensive end for the Bengals for nine seasons (1978-86) before concluding his career with the Green Bay Packers in 1987. Browner played collegiately at Notre Dame where he was a two-time All-America (1976, 77) and the winner of both the Lombardi and Maxwell Awards. Incredibly, Starks grew up without knowing that his biological father had been an NFL star. He grew up in Orlando, Florida with his mother and stepfather, Elleanor and Max Starks. Starks mom had lived in Cincinnati for a time and she was in a relationship with Browner while he was playing for the Bengals. Unbeknownst to him, she had become pregnant while they dated and gave birth to Max Starks IV, just two weeks before Browner and the Bengals faced the San Francisco 49ers in Super Bowl XVI in January 1982. For 17 years, Elleanor kept this secret to herself. Only in 1999 when Starks had grown into a massive 17-year-old did she reach out to Browner to tell him that he had a son he had no idea existed. Part of her reasoning for reaching out when she did was that Starks had become one of the nations most-highly-recruited high school players and one of the schools recruiting him was the University of Southern California (USC), where two of Ross brothers, Joey and Keith, had both played. Starks mom feared that questions would be raised during his recruiting visit to USC, so in a preemptive strike, she sent a letter to Browner and included several photos of Max. It took a little time for the initial shock to wear off from both father and son, but shortly after receiving the letter from Elleanor, Starks and Browner met face-to-face for the first time at a football camp in Georgia.
As the years passed, father and son rekindled their relationship and in a bit of irony, when Starks played in his first Super Bowl for the Steelers after the 05 season, he did so in the same city (Detroit) that his father had played his first Super Bowl just weeks after Starks was born. When this happened, Browner and Starks became just the eighth father-son combo in NFL history to both play in a Super Bowl. The term gentle giant applies because Starks is one of the NFLs most compassionate players when it comes to community service. In 2004, he started the Max Starks Charitable Fund, an outreach program which focuses on literacy and education. As a child growing up in Orlando, Starks spent many hours with his peers at the Boys and Girls Clubs of Orlando. By the time he was in the eighth grade, Starks had joined Future Florida Educators of America, a group in which members performed community service, including helping to clean up neighborhoods and serving Thanksgiving and Christmas meals to citizens living in Orlandos homeless shelters. And when he was in the ninth grade, Starks was working as a high school tutor, assisting elementary school children with their classwork. As a senior, he was one of eight tutors invited to attend a national service learning conference and he returned to Orlando and started a program where tutors visited underprivileged elementary schools to help students prepare for standardized tests. The outreach continued during his collegiate years at Florida, where he visited Gainesvillearea schools to promote reading and learning, and he worked with Kids Against Drugs, Alcohol and Tobacco. In honor of all of his work in and around his native Orlando, Starks was given a key to the city in 2006, along with having his No. 77 retired at Lake Highland Prep. Starks has hosted a number events that are linked to his foundation. His signature event is a football camp that he hosts each June at Lake Highland Prep. Its a free camp thats open to both boys and girls ages 7-14. In addition to football skills, the camp stresses literacy, education and the importance of maintaining a positive image both on and off the field. Breast cancer is another cause that is near-and-dear to Starks. His mom is a breast cancer survivor and he holds an annual Thanksgiving food drive that helps raise awareness for the disease. In 2009, the Steelers named him their Walter Payton Man of the Year for his efforts with both breast cancer and his foundation. One last major cause that Starks has lent support to is the fight against human trafficking. He sits on the board of directors for Cents of Relief, a nonprofit that works to prevent human trafficking and provide healthcare for its victims, particularly women whove been forced into prostitution and their children. Besides the various charities and critical causes that Starks is associated with, hes also found time to make a USO Tour and visit the USS Theodore Roosevelt at sea. One of the reasons that Starks has been so devoted to giving back is because so many reached out to him when he was a youngster. One of those who lent a helping hand was former Orlando Magic center Shaquille ONeal. As an eighth grader, Starks worked as a ball boy for the local NBA team
and word had slipped out that Starks was having a hard time finding athletic shoes that would fit his size 19 foot. Having caught wind of the story, ONeal came to the rescue and passed along several pairs of shoes to Starks. One of Starks non-football passions is music, especially classical music. A percussionist himself, Starks sat on the board of directors for the Pittsburgh Symphony Orchestra. He also assisted the Symphony by narrating youth programs for some of the citys elementary school children. He was exposed to music at a young age. His mother was a fan of musical theater and often took Starks to the Bob Carr PerTRANSACTION HISTORY: Third-round pick by Pittsburgh (75), April 24, 2004...signed with Steelers, July 28...contract expired March 1, 2007...re-signed with Steelers April 25, 2007, April 21, 2008, Feb. 23, 2009 and June 23, 2009...released July 29, 2011...re-signed with Steelers, Oct. 5, 2011...contract expired March 13, 2012...re-signed July 17, 2012...contract expired, March 12, 2013...signed with Chargers, May 22. 2012: Started all 16 games at left tackle. 2011: Steelers Ed Block Courage Award recipient...didnt re-sign until prior to fifth game of season...started final 12 games and Wild Card playoffs at left tackle...played in 100th-career game Nov. 6 vs. Baltimore...suffered torn ACL during Jan. 8 playoff loss to Broncos. 2010: Started seven of first eight games at left tackle...inactive Week 2 at Tennessee...placed on ReserveInjured with neck injury Nov. 10 and missed final eight games of season. 2009: Started all 16 games at left tackle...Sept. 27 at Cincinnati, held NFLs sack leader, Antwan Odom, without sack...Dec. 20 vs. Green Bay, helped with protection as Ben Roethlisberger threw for 503 yards in 3736 win. 2008: Began season as backup left tackle and played on special teams first five games...started final 11 games and three postseason games at left tackle, including Super Bowl XLIII win over Arizona...first start Oct. 19 vs. Cincinnati and helped hold Bengals without sack in 38-10 win. 2007: Played in all 16 games and made four starts for injured Marvel Smith at left tackle...saw majority of nonstart action on special teams and as blocking tight end and in goal-line situations...50th career game played Nov. 18 at New York Jets...started at left tackle Nov. 26 vs. Miami, Dec.

Safety 5-11, 212 4th NFL Season 4th with Chargers Draft 4 - 10 Kansas Washington HS Kansas City, Kan.
A fourth-round pick in 2010, Darrell Stuckey has become one of the Chargers top special teams performers. The 2012 season was no exception as for the second year in a row, Stuckey tied for the team lead with 12 special teams stops. He did so despite ending the season on the ReserveInjured list and not playing in the teams final three contests. His total of 24 special teams tackles over the past two seasons is tied for eighth-most in the NFL, and all but one of the players with more have played in the full 32 games, while Stuckey played in just 26. One of the teams fastest players, Stuckey is an all-around talent on special teams. In addition to his tackle totals in 2012, Stuckey led the NFL with six punts downed inside the 20, while also forcing a team-high two fumbles, recovering an onside kick and tallying six tackles inside the 20. Stuckey is one of the Chargers most-active players in the community.

BRANDON TAYLOR
Strong Safety 5-11, 205 2nd NFL Season 2nd with Chargers Draft 3 - 12 Louisiana State Franklinton HS Franklinton, La.
The Chargers knew Brandon Taylor was a special player, so it was no surprise when the team engineered a trade with Miami to move up five spots in the third round to select the former LSU Tiger with the 73rd overall pick of the 2012 NFL Draft. Taylors rookie season in San Diego was spent primarily learning on the practice field and in the classroom. He waited patiently for an opportunity to play on Sundays and that chance arose late in the season when he appeared in four games, two of which the Chargers won. Taylor also earned his first NFL start on Dec. 23 against the New York Jets, but the rookie suffered a severe knee injury in the game and he finished the year on the Reserve-Injured list. Taylor grew up in Franklinton, La., the second-youngest of Curtis and Annette Taylors nine children. He was groomed and toughened by two older brothers, Curtis and Jhyryn, both of whom played for the Tigers. Taylor charted his own TRANSACTION HISTORY: Third-round pick (73), April 27, 2012...signed May 15. 2012: NFL debut Dec. 2 vs. Cincinnati...made first NFL start Dec. 23 at New York Jets and shared seven-yard sack with defensive end Kendall Reyes...later suffered knee injury vs. Jets...placed on Reserve-Injured Dec. 26.
path in football, making a challenging switch from cornerback to strong safety. His willingness to sacrifice for the team made him one of LSUs most popular players. Before his senior season, head coach Les Miles called Taylor into his office and informed the team captain that hed been chosen to wear the Tigers coveted No. 18 jersey. In a tradition that was born in 2003, the LSU coaching staff picks one player who exemplifies character and leadership to wear the No. 18 jersey each season. Taylor also had another honor bestowed upon him by teammates as he was selected to stand in the rally circle before each game to fire up the team. Both gestures were tremendous honors for the Louisiana native. Brandons brother, Curtis, played on LSUs National Championship team in 2007 and was drafted by the San Francisco 49ers in 2008. Hes currently playing for the Arizona Cardinals.

CAM THOMAS
Defensive Tackle 6-4, 330 4th NFL Season 4th with Chargers Draft 5A 10 North Carolina North Moore HS Robbins, N.C.
A 2010 fifth-round draft pick out of North Carolina, the time is now for the former Tar Heel Cam Thomas as he enters 2013 as the most likely candidate to begin the season as the teams starting defensive tackle. Thomas stock has steadily risen the past two seasons. In 2011, he played in all 16 games and led the defensive line with four sacks; he finished second with six tackles for loss, 10 quarterback hits and nine pressures, and he tied for fourth with 26 tackles. Last season, Thomas again played in all 16 games, including three late season starts, and he was
third among the teams defensive linemen in tackles (30), pressures (6) and quarterback hits (9). Thomas is a mountain of a man with an infectious personality who goes by the nickname Baby Zilla. As a collegian at North Carolina, he helped engineer a turnaround that culminated in his senior season when the Tar Heels paced the ACC and ranked 10th in the nation in run defense. Thomas enjoys spending time with his daughter, bonding with his teammates, and listening to his favorite R&B singer, Rihanna.

Johnnie Troutman gets a rare second opportunity to be a rookie in 2013. The Chargers fifth-round pick in the 2012 NFL Draft from Penn State, Troutman had surgery for a pectoral injury prior to the draft and spent the entire 2012 season on the Reserve-Non-Football Injury list. Healed, Troutman is expected to vie for playing time in 2013. The reason the Chargers were able to overlook Troutmans injury and still select him in the fifth round was the fact that he started his last three seasons at left guard for the Nittany TRANSACTION HISTORY: Fifth-round pick (147), April 28, 2012...signed May 11. 2012: Spent entire season on Reserve-Non-Football Injury list while recovering from pectoral surgery.

ERIC WEDDLE
Free Safety 5-11, 200 7th NFL Season 7th with Chargers Draft 2 - 07 Utah Alta Loma HS Alta Loma, Calif.
Eric Weddle is the Chargers Most Valuable Player, voted as such by teammates at the end of the 2012 season. Weddle garnered the teams top honor after leading the squad with 111 tackles. He also tacked on rst-team All-Pro honors from CBSSports.com and Pro Football Weekly & the Professional Football Writers of America, and second-team All-Pro honors from the Associated Press. Weddle has become one of the NFLs top game-changers. His 10 interceptions over the last two seasons (2011-12) tied for third-most in the NFL and among his 16-career picks, three have been returned for touchdowns, including a 23yard scoring return against Peyton Manning and the Denver Broncos last November. Weddle has three career interceptions against Manning, two of which have been returned for touchdowns, while the third prevented a touchdown during a win over Mannings Colts in the divisional playoffs at the end of Weddles rookie season. Weddle also has been a thorn in the side for the Kansas City Chiefs, recording four interceptions against them the last two seasons. A Southern California native, Weddle grew up in Alta Loma, 115 miles north of San Diego. He and his wife, Chanel, his former high school sweetheart, married in La Jolla in July 2005. The couple has three children, daughters, Brooklyn Marie and Silver Jean, and son, Gaige. Weddle is a gym-rat and an avid golfer. He plays basketball and golf several times a week and is a single-digit handicap on the links. He also enjoys bowling and movie nights with the family. Eric and Chanel wed before his junior season at Utah. They lived near Utah State in Ogden, UT, where Chanel went to school and played soccer for the Aggies, while Eric commuted nearly an hour each way to Salt Lake City where the University of Utah is located for school and football. Weddle was a special education major at Utah who helped tutor students with learning disabilities. As a professional, he has remained active in the community supporting a number of worthy causes, including breast cancer as his grandmother is a two-time survivor of the disease.

Dec. 9 at Pittsburgh, executed fake punt with four-yard run for first down from teams own 28-yard line late in third quarter...six-yard, first-down run on 4th-and-1
Weddle was drafted in the second round by the Chargers in 2007 after the team made a trade with Chicago to move up 25 spots in the round to select him. As a rookie, he was part of a secondary that led the NFL with 30 interceptions. Weddle moved into the starting lineup in 2008 and finished the year second on the team in tackles with a career-high 135, just one behind the team leader. He also set a team record with an 86-yard fumble return for a touchdown against the Atlanta Falcons. Weddles all-around game improved each year and in 2010, he received his first all-pro honors when he was selected to the APs All-Pro second team after the Chargers finished the season ranked first in the NFL in pass defense. Weddle helped turn around a pass defense that just two seasons earlier ranked second-to-last in the league. Within months, the Chargers rewarded Weddle with a new five-year contract and it kicked off the best season of his young career in 2011. He helped clinch two early-season back-to-back wins with late fourth-quarter interceptions, becoming just the third Chargers defender to do so in the previous 20 years. It was the beginning of a Pro Bowl season in which Weddle tied for the NFL lead with a career-high seven picks. And it wasnt just Pro Bowl accolades that Weddle earned, as a slew of All-Pro accolades followed, accompanied by his selection as the Chargers Defensive Player of the Year. Weddle even intercepted two passes in the Pro Bowl, one of which resulted in a touchdown after a lateral, while also breaking up a game-high three passes and tying for second with five tackles en route to a 59-41 win by the AFC. Weddles incredible rise through the NFL was recently chronicled in the book No Excuses, No Regrets: The Eric Weddle Story, which was written by Trent Toone and published by Shadow Mountain. The book, which tells Weddles story of overcoming adversity and accomplishing impossible dreams, hit bookshelves in May. Weddles former coach at the University of Utah, Kyle Wittingham, wrote the foreword.

Long Snapper 6-1, 237 4th NFL Season 4th with Chargers Free Agent 10 Cincinnati Elder HS Cincinnati, Ohio
It was a rather remarkable turn of events that led Mike Windt to become the Chargers long snapper as a rookie in 2010. The first domino fell when David Binn, the teams alltime leader for career games played, was felled by a hamstring injury. With Binn on the Reserve-Injured list, the Chargers went through three veterans, James Dearth, Ryan Neill and Ethan Albright, yet none panned out. Dearth and Neill were both sidelined by injuries, while Albright was cut, opening the door for Windt. Signing the Cincinnati native proved to be a fortuitous move as Windt proved to be a capable snapper for punts and field goals, and less than a year later, the Chargers severed ties with Binn, who ended his tenure in San Diego having appeared in an amazing 256 career games. While Windt still has a long ways to go to match the 17 seasons Binn logged in San Diego, hes off to a good start. In TRANSACTION HISTORY: Signed with Cincinnati as undrafted rookie April 30, 2010...waived Aug. 30...signed two-year contract with San Diego, Oct. 13 and re-signed one-year deal, April 13, 2012...signed new four-year contract, March 9, 2013. 2012: Career-high three special teams tackles...injured wrist Nov. 18 at Denver...placed on Reserve-Injured list Nov. 21. 2011: Handled all snaps in all 16 games. 2010: First-career game Oct. 17 at St. Louis.
March, the Bolts locked Windt up for the long haul, inking him to a new four-year deal before the start of free agency. Windt has demonstrated pin-point accuracy on snaps. Last season, he had a hand in Mike Scifres setting a new team record for single-season punting average, while two seasons ago, he helped Nick Novak set a franchise mark for single season field goals of 40 and 50 yards or longer. Windt is engaged to Kate Fredrikson, an oncology nurse at Rady Childrens Hospital in San Diego. The couple plans to wed in April 2014. Windts hobbies include golf, stand-up paddleboarding and spending time with his English Bulldog, Hemingway. He also has a taste for fine wines and music. Two of his favorite musicians are Michael Buble and Frank Sinatra.

DANNY WOODHEAD
Running Back 5-8, 200 6th NFL Season 1st with Chargers UFA (New England) 13 Chadron State North Platte HS North Platte, Neb.
In March, when the Chargers signed running back Danny Woodhead, they landed one of the most popular athletes ever to come out of the state of Nebraska. A native of tiny North Platte, Neb. (pop. 25,000), 300 miles north of Denver, Woodhead first came onto the national scene at Chadron State College after a record-setting career at North Platte High. Nebraskas 2003 Player of the Year, Woodhead was overlooked by the states biggest schools, including the University of Nebraska, so he followed his older brother, Ben, to Chadron State where he became the first-ever athlete in school history to receive a full-ride scholarship. Despite his diminutive 5-8, 200-pound frame, Woodhead set a number of records for the Eagles, and he became a two-time winner of the Harlon Hill Award, Division IIs equivalent of the Heisman Trophy. Woodhead left the Chadron, Neb. campus as the NCAAs all-time leading rusher (7,962 yards) and he tied the national mark with 109 touchdowns. Though Chadron State never won a national championship during Woodheads career, the Eagles went 35-11 during his tenure, including back-to-back undefeated seasons and Rocky Mountain Athletic Conference titles his junior and senior years. Their only loss each of those two seasons came in the NCAA Division II quarterfinals where both times they were defeated by Northwest Missouri State. Still in March 2013, Woodhead was named to the Division II 40th-Anniversary Tribute Team. Despite a record-breaking college career, Woodhead did not receive an invitation to participate at the 2008 NFL Combine. Instead he took part in a Pro Day on the University of Nebraska campus and posted a 40-yard dash time that wouldve been among the fastest at the Combine. Still, when the 2008 NFL Draft rolled around, all seven rounds came and went without Woodhead hearing his name called and he ended up signing a free agent contract with the New York TRANSACTION HISTORY: Signed with New York Jets as undrafted rookie, May 2, 2008...waived Sept. 6, 2009...resigned to Jets practice squad, Sept. 9...signed to Jets active roster, Oct. 17...re-signed with Jets, Jan. 25, 2010...waived Sept. 14...signed with New England, Sept. 18, 2010...contract expired March 12, 2013... signed with Chargers, March 21. 2012: Had 30-yard game-winning touchdown run called back due to penalty in 20-18 loss to Arizona Sept. 16...late third-down catch (20 yards) set up game-tying eld goal in Oct. 21 overtime win vs. New York Jets...rst-career multitouchdown game with one score rushing and one receiving Nov. 11 vs. Buffalo...season-high 61 yards rushing and two touchdowns Dec. 16 vs. San Francisco. 2011: Two-point conversion runs vs. Chargers Sept. 18 and Buffalo Jan. 1...lone touchdown of season (10 yard run) in Dec. 18 win vs. Denver...four-yard touchdown catch vs. New York Giants in Super Bowl XLVI. 2010: Began season with Jets and waived day after Sept. 13 Monday Night Football season opener vs. Baltimore...ended season with New England and named to USA Todays All-Joe Team...ranked fourth in NFL with average of 7.1 yards per touch from scrimmage...rst-career start and rst-career game as Patriot Sept. 26 vs. Buffalo...scored on
Jets. Woodhead suffered a knee injury in training camp and spent his entire rookie year on the Reserve-Injured list. He returned in 2009 and played sparingly for the Jets, but in 2010 he was released after the first game of the season. It didnt take long for the rival New England Patriots to scoop up the Nebraska native and his career quickly hit an upswing. Woodhead played in 14 games for the Patriots and averaged a team-record 5.64 yards per carry for a squad that reached the AFC Divisional Playoffs. A year later, the jack-of-all-trades helped the Patriots to a 13-3 regular season that culminated with a trip to face the New York Giants in Super Bowl XLVI. And in 2012, he scored a career-high seven touchdowns in helping New England to a 12-4 mark and a trip to the AFC Championship Game. Woodhead seemed destined to play football from early childhood. As a child, he drew numbers on the backs of his cowboys and Indians and he held make believe games in his bedroom. Looking for a bigger field, he even once drew a football field in the middle of the familys living room with a green marker. By fourth grade, he became a ball boy at North Platte High, where his dad, Mark, was an assistant coach. Their family is extremely close. Woodhead was homeschooled until the ninth grade and his parents still live in North Platte, where Mark is now a school teacher and high school girls basketball coach. Both of his parents also attended Chadron State and Mark played wide receiver for the Eagles in the late 1970s. Danny and Ben roomed together at Chadron and they later served as the best men in each others weddings. All of the men in the Woodhead family go by the nickname Woody, except for Mark, who goes by Big Woody. They all enjoy playing golf and Danny, a scratch player, is the familys best. Mom, Annette, is extremely devout and to this day she still sends Danny scriptures prior to each of his games. Woodhead and his wife, Stacia, have a daughter, Gia Grace. 22-yard run for hand in 38-30 win over Bills...caught rst touchdown pass (11 yards) for 27-14 lead in Oct. 4 win at Miami...rst-career 100-yard receiving game with 104 yards, including career-long 50-yard catch, on four catches in 45-3 win over Jets Dec. 6...season-high 125 scrimmage yards in Dec. 26 win over Bills...led Patriots in rushing while making rst-career playoff start Jan. 16 vs. Jets. 2009: Spent rst ve weeks of season on Jets practice squad...rst-career game Oct. 18 at Buffalo...season-high 52 scrimmage yards, including season-long 24-yard catch, in Dec. 13 win at Tampa Bay. 2008: Injured knee during training camp and spent entire season on Reserve-Injured list.

SHAREECE WRIGHT
Cornerback 5-11, 182 3rd NFL Season 3rd with Chargers Draft 3B 11 Southern California Colton HS Colton, Calif.
After two years of waiting patiently, the 2013 season offers a tremendous opportunity for Shareece Wright, who now finds himself in the thick of competition to become one of the Chargers starting cornerbacks. Wright had appeared on track for a big year in 2012 after appearing in just seven games as a rookie. He was coming off a solid preseason, one that included a performance against Dallas in which he had a 73-yard interception return, a sack and forced fumble, and two passes defensed. But on the first play of the Chargers 2012 opener at Oakland, Wright hurt his foot while making a special teams tackle inside the 20 and it sent him to the sidelines for the rest of the night and for the next six games. Once healed, Wright played in each of the Chargers last nine games, and he finished the year with 14 tackles on defense and seven on special teams. TRANSACTION HISTORY: Third-round pick (82), April 29, 2011... signed with Chargers, July 30. 2012: Injured foot making special teams tackle inside 20 on opening kickoff of Monday Night Football season opener at Oakland...inactive next six games...returned Nov. 1 vs. Kansas City...season-high six tackles Nov. 18 at Denver. 2011: Firstcareer game on Monday Night Football Oct. 31 at Kansas City. COLLEGE: Team captain as fifth-year senior in 2010...won three Rose Bowl rings during career...granted medical redshirt in 2008...academically ineligible for 2009 regular-seaRegular Season Year Team 2011 San Diego 2012 San Diego Totals
A native of Colton, Calif., east of Los Angeles, the Chargers were Wrights hometown team and they were the team he was hopeful would draft him. He even brought a Chargers hat with him to his 2011 draft party just in case the call came, which it did after Wrights strong finish to an up-anddown collegiate career at nearby USC. Wright works closely with the Junior Diabetes Foundation. The daughter of his former football coach from Colton High School has the disease and it inspired Wright to help. In September 2011, he was invited to throw out the first pitch at a San Diego Padres game as an introduction to his partnership with the foundation.

The San Diego Chargers used their first-round pick (No. 11 overall) in the 2013 NFL Draft to select former University of Alabama tackle D.J. Fluker. A cornerstone for the two-time defending BCS Champion Crimson Tide, Fluker started all 27 games at right tackle the last two seasons. A second-team Associated Press All- America and first-team All-Southeastern Conference pick as a junior in 2012, Fluker graded out at 98.6% on his blocking assignments, surrendered only four sacks, and was flagged just two times as Alabama finished the season 13-1 and 7-1 in the SEC. Among his 2012 statistics, Fluker totaled 90 knockdowns, 22 pancakes and 15 touchdown-resulting blocks for an offense that averaged 445.5 yards per game, 31st nationally and fourth in the SEC. The Crimson Tide were even better on the ground, ranking 16th nationally and second in the SEC with 227.5 rushing yards per game.

In the second round of the 2013 NFL Draft, the Chargers made a trade with Arizona, moving up seven spots to No. 38 to select Manti Teo, runner-up to Texas A&M quarterback Johnny Manziel in voting for the 2012 Heisman Trophy.

KEENAN ALLEN
Wide Receiver 6-2, 211 Rookie Draft 3 13 California Northern Guilford HS Greensboro, N.C.
In the third round of the 2013 NFL Draft, the Chargers landed former California Golden Bears wide receiver Keenan Allen, a player widely projected as a first or second-round pick before a knee injury late in his junior season. Unbeknownst to many, Allen was a player who had long been on the radar screen of Chargers General Manager Tom Telesco. Back in 2011, Telesco had attended Cals game against USC at San Franciscos AT&T Park and he noted that Allen really stuck out that night on a field that was loaded with great players. Allen in fact enjoyed one of the most prolific days of his career that evening against the Trojans, catching a career-best 13 passes for 160 yards. Allen left school after his junior season having caught a TRANSACTION HISTORY: Third-round pick (76), April 26, 2013...signed May 13.

Allens half-brother, Zach Maynard, was his quarterback all three years at Cal. Maynard had originally enrolled at Buffalo, but transferred to Cal so that he and Allen could play together. In 2011, the two combined for the longest pass play in school history when they hooked up on a 90-yard score against the Washington Huskies. In addition to his pass-catching totals, Allen averaged 12.0 yards per return as a punt returner and 22.6 yards on kickoffs and he left the Berkeley campus with 3,458 all-purpose yards in just three seasons. of Week as freshman vs. Arizona State...played at California from 2010-12...African-American studies major.

STEVE WILLIAMS
Cornerback 5-10, 185 Rookie Draft 5 13 California Skyline HS Dallas, Tex.
Williams actually caught the eye of Chargers General Manager Tom Telesco in 2011, when the former Colts Director of Player Personnel had ventured to The Big Game in Palo Alto to scout Stanford quarterback Andrew Luck. Early in the game, Williams jumped an out route thrown by Luck, picking off the pass and returning it 45 yards to the Stanford four-yard line. Even though he was just a sophomore, that play stuck in the back of Telescos mind. Luck, meanwhile, went on to be selected by the Colts with the first overall pick in the 2012 NFL Draft.
Williams selection (No. 145 overall) in the fifth round of the 2013 NFL Draft marked the second-straight former California Golden Bear picked by the Chargers, following the selection of wide receiver Keenan Allen in the third round. Williams tossed his hat into the NFL ring after only three seasons at Cal, including a 2012 junior campaign in which he earned honorable mention All-Pac-12 and team MVP honors. His 2012 statistics included career highs in interceptions (three), total passes defensed (13), tackles (80) and tackles for loss (seven).

San Diego Chargers 38, Tennessee Titans 10 Sunday, September 16, 2012 Qualcomm Stadium (San Diego, CA)
The Chargers played their 2012 home opener and started off a special afternoon by retiring jersey No. 55 that was worn for so many years by the late Junior Seau. The Bolts took the eld in special all-white uniforms and soundly beat the Tennessee Titans, 38-10. The Chargers offense held the ball for 43:39, its highest time of possession tally since 1978, and the Chargers defense held Tennessee to just 1-of-9 on third downs (11%) while registering six three-and-outs along with a seventh drive that ended with an interception after just two plays.

2009 AFC Divisional Playoffs New York Jets 17, San Diego Chargers 14 Sunday, Jan. 17, 2010 - Qualcomm Stadium (San Diego, CA)
The No. 5 seed New York Jets upset No. 2 seed Chargers. San Diegos defense opened game with four straight three-and-outs, not allowing Jets rst down until 8:11 remained in second quarter. Stephen Cooper set up Chargers rst touchdown of game, forcing three-and-out with four-yard tackle for loss on 3rd-and-4. On ensuing drive, Kris Wilson caught 13-yard touchdown pass for 70 lead. Antonio Gates helped set up TD with brilliant one-handed 23-yard reception to 16. Quentin Jammer had solid afternoon, breaking up third-down pass in second quarter to force punt and intercepting another in third quarter. Paul Oliver provided pressure and hit on Jets quarterback Mark Sanchez on interception and Steve Gregory, in coverage, tipped pass that Jammer picked off. Jacob Hester got his hand on late fourth-quarter punt by Jets, contributing to just 26-yard punt. On ensuing possession, Philip Rivers scored TD on one-yard sneak with 2:20 left. Vincent Jackson, who had game-high 111 yards receiving, set up Rivers TD with 12-yard catch to one on 3rd-and-7.

2008 AFC Divisional Playoffs Pittsburgh Steelers 35, San Diego Chargers 24 Sunday, Jan. 11, 2009 - Heinz Field (Pittsburgh, PA)
The Chargers run through AFC Playoffs came to abrupt end in Pittsburgh as Steelers dealt Chargers 35-24 setback on cold and snowy day in Steel City. Chargers staked out to early lead on long touchdown catch by Vincent Jackson and led or were tied for most of first half, but games momentum changed right before and right after halftime. Down 10-7, Pittsburgh drove 66 yards for touchdown just before halftime, giving them their first lead of night at 14-10. Steelers got ball first coming out of locker room and drove 77 yards for another score that extended lead to 21-10. Darren Sproles 63-yard kickoff return gave ball to Chargers at Pittsburghs 23-yard line, but Philip Rivers first-down pass was tipped and intercepted by Steelers. Though replays showed ball appeared to hit ground, play withstood instant replay challenge and Pittsburgh maintained possession. Chargers defense held and forced punt, but punt inadvertently hit unknowing Eric Weddle and Steelers recovered and took over at Chargers 23. Again Chargers defense would hold, stopping Pittsburgh on downs at one, but with Bolts offense unable to get out of shadow of its own goal line, Steelers got ball again in San Diego territory and 49 yards later, Steelers scored to take 28-10 lead. San Diego managed pair of late touchdowns, including 62-yarder by Sproles, who finished game with 274 all-purpose yards, but Pittsburgh held Bolts at bay and held on for win.

2008 AFC Wild Card Playoffs San Diego Chargers 23, Indianapolis Colts 17 (OT) Saturday, Jan. 3, 2009 - Qualcomm Stadium (San Diego, CA)
The San Diego Chargers miracle season of 2008 stayed alive as Bolts rallied from 17-14 fourth quarter deficit behind outstanding defensive effort and legs of Darren Sproles to defeat Indianapolis Colts, 23-17, in overtime in Saturday night home playoff game at Qualcomm Stadium. After trailing 7-0 and 10-7, Chargers rallied and led 14-10 at half. In third quarter, Colts caught Chargers offguard while substituting defenders and made them pay with 72yard TD pass from Peyton Manning to Reggie Wayne. San Diegos defense settled down though and did not allow Colts any more points. key defensive stand late in fourth quarter, fueled by Tim Dobbins sack of Manning at Colts one-yard line, allowed offense time for one final drive in regulation. Philip Rivers drove Bolts to Colts eight-yard line and Nate Kaedings field goal from 26 yards out tied game with 31 seconds left. San Diego won coin toss in overtime and Rivers led offense on 11-play, 75-yard march that ended with 22-yard touchdown run by Sproles to win game in overtime. Sproles finished night with 328 all-purpose yards, third-most ever by player in NFL Playoff game. Dobbins sack that enabled Bolts to begin comeback was first of his career.

2007 AFC Championship Game New England Patriots 21, San Diego Chargers 12 Sunday, Jan. 20, 2008 - Gillette Stadium (Foxborough, MA)
Despite playing with torn ACL in his right knee, Philip Rivers started and played entire game. contest was played in subfreezing weather with kickoff temperature of 23 degrees and wind-chill factor of nine degrees. Chargers were doomed by their inability to score touchdowns inside red zone, instead settling for four Nate Kaeding field goals. NFL rushing champion LaDainian Tomlinson, who was suffering from strained MCL in his left knee, tried to go, but was unable to complete game. Chargers struck first following Tom Brady interception. Chargers were also hurt by turnovers as second-quarter interception thrown by Rivers resulted in TD and 14-6 lead for Pats. Chargers made another run at Patriots in third quarter, intercepting Brady on opening drive. It would lead to one of games most critical plays. After turnover, Chargers drove to New Englands four, but on 3rd-and-1, Michael Turner was tackled for two-yard loss by former Bolt Junior Seau and Chargers had to settle for another field goal. New England made Chargers pay three series later as Wes Welker caught six-yard pass from Brady and Patriots extended their lead to 21-12. After San Diego punt, New England took ball with 9:13 to play in fourth quarter and killed entire clock, overcoming 2nd-and-18 early in drive. With win, Patriots advanced to Super Bowl XLII to face New York Giants. Score by Quarters San Diego Chargers New England Patriots Q1 3 0 Q2 6 14 Q3 3 0 Q4 0 7 Total 12 21 NE 0 7 7 14 14 14 21

2007 AFC Divisional Playoffs San Diego Chargers 28, Indianapolis Colts 24 Sunday, Jan. 13, 2008 - RCA Dome (Indianapolis, IN)
The Chargers advanced to AFC Championship game in New England with 28-24 win in final-ever game at RCA Dome. contest included multiple lead changes that were sparked by handful of reserves who were forced into action after key starters were sidelined with injuries. Down 7-0, Philip Rivers threw interception and Colts drove to Chargers 17yard line, but Antonio Cromartie forced fumble by Marvin Harrison to end threat. Chargers capitalized, tying game on touchdown pass from Rivers to Vincent Jackson. Late in second quarter, Cromartie snagged his second takeaway when slightly overthrown Peyton Manning pass went off Reggie Waynes fingertips. Cromartie returned interception 89 yards for what appeared to be go-ahead score, but holding call during return brought play back to midfield and teams went to locker room with Indy up 10-7. Chargers scored on their opening possession of second half and took their first lead at 14-10. Indianapolis then drove to Chargers four, but rookie safety Eric Weddle interceped pass intended for Kenton Keith. On last play of third quarter, Rivers tossed his third touchdown pass of day, short screen that Darren Sproles took 56 yards to house, but euphoria of 21-17 lead was temporarily dampened as Rivers left game with sprained right knee suffered on play. With Rivers out, LaDainian Tomlinson also battling sore knee and Colts retaking lead 24-21, backups Billy Volek and Michael Turner were called on to carry load. And they delivered with Volek giving Chargers lead one final time on one-yard quarterback sneak with 4:54 remaining. Colts had two late tries to reclaim lead, but Bolts defense buckled down with two stops on downs, including one at Chargers seven yard line and another that started far down field thanks to 66-yard punt by Mike Scifres as Chargers held on for victory.

Chargers could not get on track in second half either, as Miami chalked up 10 more points and forced two more San Diego turnovers. Chargers defense was on field most of game (37:08).

Dolphins special teams put Chargers in poor field position on several occasions, including punts, which pinned San Diegos offense back on its own five, six, four and 15-yard lines.

The Chargers 1979 season, featuring one of best teams in franchise history, ended in disappointment as Bolts fell to Houston Oilers, 17-14, in Divisonal Playoff game at San Diego Stadium. Chargers were rolling early and took 7-0 lead on Clarence Williams one-yard touchdown on Bolts first offensive possession of game. But Houston scored 10 unanswered points in second quarter and led at half, 10-7. On opening drive of third quarter, San Diego reclaimed lead when Lydell Mitchell scored on eight-yard run for 14-10 lead. Houston came back later in quarter as Mike Renfro caught 47-yard touchdown pass from Gifford Nielsen and Oilers jumped back out to 17-14 lead. Chargers tried to fight back in fourth quarter, but two Dan Fouts interceptions proved costly and Houston upset Chargers and eliminated them from playoffs.

It was same two teams that met in 1964 Championship game with scene shifting from East to West Coast. But there obviously was no hometown advantage for San Diego Chargers. Coach Lou Sabans Buffalo Bills found 59-degree weather much to their liking in San Diegos Balboa Stadium, rolling to 23-0 victory before 30,361 downhearted fans. San Diegos offensive unit was unable to generate any type of serious attack after first quarter and Jack Kemp-led Bills broke loose in second period. Kemp teamed with end Ernie Warlick for initial score, 18-yard pass play capping 60yard drive. Just 2:20 later, Bills struck again on 74-yard punt return by Butch Byrd and at halftime, Buffalo was ahead 14-0. In second half, Chargers were able to contain Buffalos ground game and Kemps passing, but couldnt stop talented toe of placekicker Pete Gogolak. His soccer-style kicks connected twice in third quarter from 11 and 39 yards and once more in final period from 32 yards.

1964 AFL Championship Game Buffalo Bills 20, San Diego Chargers 7 Sunday, Dec. 26, 1964 - War Memorial Stadium (Buffalo, NY)
Lou Saban sent his Buffalo Bills out for post-Christmas gift after three lean years and one near miss in American Football League. Bills found what they were looking for and wrapped up defending champion San Diego Chargers, 20-7, for AFL Championship before 40,242 howling hometown fans. Chargers started out as if they meant to repeat their 51-10 conquest of Boston Patriots in 1963 title game. They boomed from their own 20 in four plays with payoff 26-yard strike from retiring quarterback Tobin Rote to tight end Dave Kocourek. Keith Lincolns PAT at 2:16 of first period was last time San Diego got on scoreboard. Disaster soon struck visitors when Lincoln was forced out of action with broken rib on the tackle heard around world by Buffalo linebacker Mike Stratton. Coupled with absence of Lance Alworth, injury to Lincoln left Chargers offense impotent. Buffalo forged to 13-7 halftime lead on field goals from 12 and 17 yards by rookie ace Pete Gogolak and four-yard touchdown run by halfback Wray Carlton. Bills tallied again in final quarter on sneak by quarterback Jack Kemp. Score by Quarters San Diego Chargers Buffalo Bills Q1 7 3 Q2 0 10 Q3 0 0 Q4 0 7 Total 7 20
1963 AFL Championship Game San Diego Chargers 51, Boston Patriots 10 Sunday, Jan. 5, 1964 - Balboa Stadium (San Diego, CA)
Before 30,127 in Balboa Stadium and 30 million more on national television, Keith Lincoln ran, caught and passed like no other athlete ever has in professional title match as Californians crumbled Boston Patriots, 51-10. Chargers offense produced 610 yards. Lincoln accounted for 349 of them in virtuoso performance that included touchdown sprint of 67 yards, touchdown reception of 25 yards, 206 yards gained rushing, 123 gained pass receiving and 20 gained passing. Lincolns heroics were mightily abated by others on San Diego team that played with brilliance. It was powerhouse show by team that had failed in two previous tries to win AFL title. But Patriots, with leagues proudest defensive outfit, were no match for San Diegans. Splendidly prepared by Sid Gilman to combat Bostons almost constantly rushing linebackers, Chargers scored on their fourth scrimmage play, as well as their sixth and 10th. Patriots ground attack suffered after fullback Larry Garron incurred head injury midway through second period. Garron later returned to game but remained in it only briefly.
