The San Diego Chargers, expect certain things of a 1st round draft Pick.

San Diego Chargers Center Nick Hardwick has started 103 games for San Diego since coming out of Purdue. Although tell-tale stats are few and far between for the 2006 Pro-Bowler, it is not presumptuous to call Hardwick’s value to the Chargers offense – Significant.

Fans who grew up watching Junior Seau play football would tell you the lightning bolt on his helmet signified his descent from Mt. Olympus, rather than the team for which he played. Seau’s larger life persona on the gridiron made him pop out of the TV and a tackle a running back for a loss [...]
It is widely held that San Diego Chargers QB Philip Rivers is the best signal caller in the NFL who has yet to hoist the Lombardi Trophy. Despite a 2011 that all of San Diego would like to forget, Rivers hasn’t thrown for less than 4,000 yards in a season since 2007. Many attribute Rivers [...]
