NORV TURNERHead Coach28th NFL Season, 7th with <strong>Chargers</strong>MEDIA GUIDE | 13Norv Turner has the highest winning percentage in teamhistory. USA Today’s NFL Coach of the Year in 2009 owns a52-34 (.605) record with the <strong>Chargers</strong>, including 49-31 (.613)in the regular season. He’s 21-9 against the AFC West withidentical 7-3 records against Oakland, Denver and Kansas City.He owns an impressive three division titles and two secondplace finishes in the AFC West. His regular-season <strong>Chargers</strong>record after November 1 is 32-12, including 21-3 in Decemberand January. Turner’s 49 regular-season wins are the franchise’smost in a five-year stretch since 1977-81.With 111 career wins, including playoffs, Turner rankedfifth among active NFL head coaches in wins at the conclusionof the 2011 season. The only coaches with more were BillBelichick, Mike Shanahan, Tom Coughlin and Andy Reid. Turner’swin total also ranks 34th all-time among all NFL coaches.Tom Flores and Vince Lombardi were among those that Turnerpassed on the all-time wins list during the 2011 season.Turner is within reach of a number of coaches as he headsinto <strong>2012</strong>, including John Madden (112) and Don Coryell(114).After Turner won his 100th career game in the <strong>Chargers</strong>’2011 season opener against Minnesota, players presentedhim with a Game Ball in the locker room.Turner joined the <strong>Chargers</strong> in 2007 and has led the team tothe playoffs three times as AFC West Champions, includingan appearance in the ’07 AFC Championship Game. Only fiveteams have made more playoff appearances than Turner’s<strong>Chargers</strong> and only eight have won more than San Diego’sthree in the postseason. Turner is tied with Don Coryell andBobby Ross for the most playoff wins in team history (three).As the head coach and offensive play-caller, Turner hashelped the <strong>Chargers</strong> achieve offensive feats rarely seenbefore in the 52-year history of the franchise.The Bolts have scored more than 400 points and averagedmore than 25.0 in NFL and franchise-record eight straightseasons, including all five under Turner. In 2011, the <strong>Chargers</strong>boasted a 4,000-yard passer, a 1,000-yard rusher and a1,000-yard receiver for only the third time in franchise history,and one of the two previous (2008) was also under Turner’swatch. The <strong>Chargers</strong> have ranked in the NFL’s top 10 fortotal offense the last three seasons, including the league’stop ranking in 2010. The <strong>Chargers</strong> are the only team in theNFL to pass for more than 4,500 yards and rush for morethan 1,800 each of the last two seasons. And the <strong>Chargers</strong>have racked up more than 6,000 total net yards the last twoseasons, the first time it’s been done in San Diego in consecutiveseasons since 1983-85.Turner’s penchant for strong finishes rang true once againin 2011 as he led the <strong>Chargers</strong> to a record of 4-1 down thestretch. The coach oversaw an up-and-down campaign in ’11that began and ended with 4-1 records.In 2010, Turner’s <strong>Chargers</strong> led the NFL in total offense andtotal defense. San Diego finished the season strong, winningseven of its last nine. The <strong>Chargers</strong> also led the league inaverage yards per play (6.1) and yards per pass play (8.7),while ranking second in points scored (441).Turner faced one of the more challenging seasons of hisNFL coaching career in 2010 as the <strong>Chargers</strong>’ roster enduredconstant change throughout the season. Seventy-four differentplayers appeared in at least one game for the Bolts, equalingArizona’s NFL record (2005) for the most players in a nonstrikeseason. In total, the <strong>Chargers</strong> made 109 roster movesbetween final cuts (Sept. 4) and the end of the regular season.Despite the constant roster shuffling, the <strong>Chargers</strong> offenserarely wavered. At the end of the year, the <strong>Chargers</strong> were oneof only two NFL teams to feature a quarterback with at least30 touchdown passes, a running back with at least 10 rushingtouchdowns and a receiver or tight end with at least 10touchdown catches. It’s a feat that had been achieved onlyone other time in franchise history (1981).From 2007-09, Turner became the first <strong>Chargers</strong> coach tostart his career with three-straight division titles.Quarterback Philip Rivers has been a shining star in Turner’soffense. He passed for 4,624 yards in 2011 to become onlythe fifth player in NFL history to pass for more than 4,500yards in consecutive seasons. It followed a 2010 season inwhich Rivers passed for a career-high 4,710 yards. Workingwith Turner, Rivers has passed for at least 4,000 yards in thelast four seasons, a franchise record and an accomplishmentthat only has been matched by two other NFL signal callers,Peyton Manning and Drew Brees.In 2008, Turner led the <strong>Chargers</strong> through one of the greatestturnaround seasons in NFL history. His team started 4-8,but won its final four to close the season 8-8. The <strong>Chargers</strong>won the AFC West and became the first team in the currentdivision format to win their division when trailing by threegames with three left to play. Turner then led the <strong>Chargers</strong> toa thrilling 23-17 overtime win against Indianapolis in the WildCard Playoffs and into the Divisional Playoffs for a secondconsecutiveyear.Turner’s first season at the helm in San Diego in 2007 wasfilled with excitement. He led the team to a career-high 11wins and became just the second head coach in team historyto win the AFC West in his first season. Turner also became thefirst <strong>Chargers</strong> coach since Ross to win a playoff game in hisfirst season, winning not just one, but two as San Diegodefeated Tennessee in the Wild Card Playoffs and Indianapolison the road in the Divisional round. The run ended in New Englandin the AFC Championship Game, but not before Turnerbecame only the sixth head coach in NFL history to lead a teamto the championship game in his first season at the helm.<strong>Chargers</strong> fans were given a glimpse of Turner’s offensivewizardry in 2001 when he spent a season as the team’soffensive coordinator. The offense improved 17 spots in therankings, surging from from 28th to 11th, while finishing theseason with a 3,000-yard passer, a 1,000-yard rusher, and1,000-yard receiver for only the second time in team history.Turner left San Diego after the 2001 season, spending thenext five years between Miami, Oakland and San Francisco.He spent two seasons as the Dolphins’ offensive coordinator(2002-03), two as the Raiders’ head coach (2004-05) andone as the 49ers’ offensive coordinator (2006). Six years lateron Feb. 19, 2007, he returned to the <strong>Chargers</strong>.Turner was born in the Bay Area suburb of Martinez, California,the same city that produced baseball legend JoeDiMaggio. He grew up the middle of five children, all ofwhom were raised by his mother, Vicky, a single parent. Vickybattled multiple sclerosis, spending the latter years of her lifein a wheelchair before her passing in 1989. Turner’s oldestsister, Janis, also suffers from the disease. Turner serves onthe board of the San Diego Chapter of the Multiple SclerosisSociety and last May served as the Honorary Chair for the MSSociety’s Golf Invitational at the La Jolla Country Club.Continued next pageOWNERSHIP, COACHING &ADMINISTRATION


OWNERSHIP, COACHING &ADMINISTRATIONNorv Turner, continuedBefore she died, Vicky steered her sons toward sports.Norv’s younger brother, Ron, followed in his footsteps,excelling on the collegiate gridiron and later in the coachingprofession. Ron spent nine years (2001-09), including an NFCChampionship season in 2006, as the offensive coordinatorfor the Chicago Bears. He is now the quarterbacks coach forthe Tampa Bay Buccaneers after holding the same post in2011 for the Indianapolis Colts.As a teenager, Turner played quarterback and safety atAlhambra High School in Martinez. He earned a scholarship tothe University of Oregon and won three varsity letters (1972-74) as a quarterback for the Ducks, spending two of his threeseasons as the backup to former Charger and Pro FootballHall of Fame quarterback Dan Fouts. One of the assistantcoaches on Oregon’s staff, John Robinson, would later giveTurner his first big break as a coach. First though, Turner landeda job as a graduate assistant at Oregon in 1975.Robinson accepted the head coaching job at the University ofSouthern California in 1976, and he invited Turner to join him.Turner spent the next nine seasons in Los Angeles, winning fourRose Bowls and a national championship in 1978. He coachedwide receivers, defensive backs, quarterbacks and served as theTrojans’ offensive coordinator. In 1980, Turner tutored what isregarded by many as one of the finest defensive backfields incollege football history, featuring safeties Ronnie Lott and DennisSmith, both of whom went on to become NFL first-rounddraft choices in 1981. The backfield also included Joey Browner,who was drafted in the first round in 1983 by Minnesota,and a cornerback named Jeff Fisher, who would leave USC as aseventh round draft pick and later become the head coach ofthe Houston Oilers/Tennessee Titans.In 1985 Turner landed his first NFL coaching job whenRobinson hired him as an assistant coach with the Los AngelesRams, assigning him to work alongside offensive coordinatorErnie Zampese, a disciple of the “Air Coryell” offense. Zampesetaught Turner the ins and outs of the offensive systemmade famous by former <strong>Chargers</strong> Head Coach Don Coryell.In 1991, Jimmy Johnson hired Turner as the offensive coordinatorin Dallas. It proved to be a turning point in Turner’scareer as the Cowboys won back-to-back Super Bowl titles(XXVII and XXVIII) following the ’92 and ’93 seasons. Turnerworked with three future NFL Hall of Famers in Dallas: quarterbackTroy Aikman, running back Emmitt Smith and widereceiver Michael Irvin. Turner almost single-handedly resurrectedAikman’s career in Dallas. In the two seasons beforeTurner’s arrival, Aikman threw just 20 touchdown passes and36 interceptions. In his first season in Turner’s offense, Aikmanposted the first positive touchdown-to-interceptionratio of his career and led the Cowboys to the NFC DivisionalPlayoffs. A year later, Aikman passed for a career-high 3,445yards with 23 touchdowns while leading Dallas to a 13-3record and its first NFC East title since 1985. Aikman continuedhis ascent in the playoffs, directing the Cowboys tothree-straight postseason wins en route to capturing MVPhonors following Dallas’ 52-17 win over the Buffalo Bills inSuper Bowl XXVII. The following year, Aikman completed afranchise-record 69.1 percent of his passes and led the Cowboysto a second-consecutive Super Bowl win over the Bills.And when he was enshrined in the Pro Football Hall of Famein 2006, Aikman asked Turner to be his presenter.Smith and Irvin also flourished under Turner. They led theNFL in rushing and receiving, respectively, in 1991, markingthe first time since the NFL-AFL merger in 1970 that teammatesled the league in both categories. Since then it hashappened only one other time (Indianapolis, 1999).Catapulting off his success in Dallas, Turner earned his firsthead-coaching assignment, joining the Washington Redskinsin 1994. He spent seven seasons in Washington, leading theRedskins to four winning seasons and the NFC East title in1999. During his tenure, Turner was a mentor to Pro Bowlquarterbacks Brad Johnson and Gus Frerotte. Johnson flourishedin Turner’s offense, throwing for 4,005 yards in ’99,only the second 4,000-yard season in Redskins history.Several running backs also have flourished in Turner’soffensive system. Three won NFL rushing titles while playingfor Turner, including LaDainian Tomlinson (2007), Smith(1991-93) and Miami’s Ricky Williams (2002).Turner, his wife, Nancy, and their youngest son, Drew, livein Del Mar, California. Drew is a senior year at the Universityof San Diego. Their daughter, Stephanie, lives in Los Angeles,is an actress who has appeared in several movies and televisionshows, and is the creator and content provider for FootballBrat.comOldest son Scott has followed in the coachingfootsteps of his father and uncle and serves as the offensivequality control coach for the Carolina Panthers.Norv Turner’s Coaching Experience1975 — Graduate Assistant, University of Oregon1976-79 — Wide Receivers, University of Southern California1980 — Defensive Backs, University of Southern California1981-83 — Quarterbacks, University of Southern California1984 — Offensive Coordinator, University of Southern California1985-86 — Wide Receivers, Los Angeles Rams1987-90 — Wide Receivers and Tight Ends, Los Angeles RamsNorv Turner’s Regular-Season Record as an NFL Head CoachYear Team Div.

36 CURTIS BRINKLEYRunning Back Free Agent - ’095-9, 208 Syracuse3rd NFL SeasonWest Catholic HS4th with <strong>Chargers</strong>Philadelphia, Pa.VETERANS &RETURNING PLAYERSCurtis Brinkley is a survivor. What else can you say abouta young man who grew up in the housing projects ofPhiladelphia, lost his father when he was a sophomore incollege, survived an attempt on his life, and now plays thegame he loves with a bullet just an inch from his heart.A record-breaking running back at West Catholic High inPhiladelphia, Brinkley was back in his hometown in July2009, just three months after signing with the <strong>Chargers</strong>and completing offseason workouts. His sister, Niveka,called one evening and asked Brinkley if he could pick herup from the adult-care facility where she worked. Whilewaiting in his car, a gunman - later identified as his sister’sex-boyfriend - approached the vehicle and fired threeshots, not realizing that the man behind the wheel wasNiveka’s brother, Curtis.Brinkley was shot three times. He was able to escape inthe car, but a few blocks from the incident, he crashedthrough some bushes and a fence before losing consciousnessand backing his car into an SUV parked in a driveway.He was rushed to a local hospital where doctors were ableto remove two of the .357-caliber bullets, but a third waslodged so close to his heart that they decided it was toodangerous to remove. The boyfriend later turned himself into the police and plead guilty to a felony charge of aggravatedassault. Brinkley, meanwhile, returned to the <strong>Chargers</strong>less than a year later.Assured by doctors that it was safe to resume his footballcareer, Brinkley trained and ran harder than ever. Heperformed well enough in training camp and the 2010 preseasonto earn a spot on the team’s practice squad, andjust two weeks into the season he was brought up to theactive roster when injuries left the team’s running backs inshort supply. Brinkley did not play in the <strong>Chargers</strong>’ Week 3contest in Seattle and returned to the practice squad thefollowing week, but later in the season another opportunitypresented itself and Brinkley returned to the active rosterin late November. In true storybook fashion, he receivedhis first-ever regular-season NFL carry late in an ESPNMonday Night Football game against the Denver Broncoswhen his teammates decided to change the play call in theoffensive huddle. Instead of the fullback dive called in fromthe sidelines, the ball went to Brinkley, who carried it nineyards for a first down that enabled the <strong>Chargers</strong> to take aknee and run out the clock for a victory.Brinkley’s storybook career continued in 2011 as hescored his first NFL touchdown in another Monday NightFootball game in Kansas City’s Arrowhead Stadium and hemade his first NFL start in the <strong>Chargers</strong>’ season finale inOakland. In December, teammates voted Brinkley as theteam’s winner of the Ed Block Courage Award.Brinkley is now an advocate for the Crime Victims Fund.TRANSACTION HISTORY: Signed May 1, 2009...placed on“Reserve-Non-Football Injury,” July 24...activated, Feb. 8, 2010...waived Sept. 4...re-signed to practice squad, Sept. 6...signedto active roster, Sept. 25...waived Sept. 28 and re-signed topractice squad, Sept. 30...re-signed to active roster, Nov. 22...waived Dec. 16 and re-signed to practice squad, Dec. 18...signed to active roster, Dec. 31...waived Sept. 3, <strong>2012</strong>...resignedto practice squad, Sept. 10...waived Sept. 14...re-signedto practice squad Sept. 16...waived Sept. 21...re-signed to practicesquad Sept. 27...signed to active roster Oct. 22.2011: Ed Block Courage Award...saw extended time forinjured Ryan Mathews Oct. 31 on ESPN’s Monday NightFootball at Kansas City and scored first-career touchdown ontwo-yard dive over pile...followed with two-point conversioncatch to tie game, 20-20, with 7:11 left in fourthquarter...both plays survived replay challenges...also set uptouchdown with 20-yard over-shoulder catch to Chiefs’ two...first-career start in Jan. 2010: First-career NFL carry fornine yards and game-clinching first down in Nov. 22 MondayNight Football win over Denver. 2009: Spent season on“Reserve-Non-Football Injury” list.COLLEGE: Big East Honor Roll after 2008 games vs. Akron,West Virginia, South Florida and Louisville...15th all-time leadingrusher with 2,132 yards and 1,164 yards as senior rankedfifth...played at Syracuse 2005-09...degree in communications.PERSONAL: Born in Philadelphia...AAAA Offensive Player ofthe Year at West Catholic HS...set Philadelphia prep recordswith 7,429 yards, 85 TDs, 1,007 att. and five 300-yardgames to break marks held by Kevin Jones of Detroit Lions...spent 2004 season at Hargrave Military Academy.Regular Season Rushing Receiving Kickoff Returns Special TeamsYear Team G-S No.-Yds.

30 RONNIE BROWNRunning Back UFA (Philadelphia) - ’126-0, 230 Auburn8th NFL SeasonCartersville HS1st with <strong>Chargers</strong>Cartersville, Ga.The <strong>Chargers</strong> solidified their corps of running backswhen they agreed to terms in June on a one-year contractwith former first-round draft pick Ronnie Brown. The 6-0,230-pounder spent the 2011 season in Philadelphia.A former Auburn Tiger, Brown was the second overall pickin the first round of the 2005 NFL Draft by the Miami Dolphins.In six seasons for the Dolphins, he rushed for 4,815yards and 36 touchdowns, while catching 184 passes for1,491 yards and a pair of scores. He ranks third on the Dolphins’all-time list for rushing yards and touchdowns, and istied with Hall of Fame running back Larry Csonka for thesecond-most 100-yard rushing games in team history. From2005-07, Brown averaged better than 4.0 yards per carryfor the Dolphins, becoming the team’s first back to do so forthree-straight seasons since Tony Nathan from 1983-85.Brown posted his only 1,000-yard season in 2006, rushingfor 1,008 yards for the Dolphins. He earned a Pro Bowlselection in 2008 after scoring a career-high 10 touchdowns,while rushing for 916 yards. A versatile threat,Brown also threw two touchdown passes for the Dolphinsout of the Wildcat formation, one each during the 2008and ’09 seasons against New England.The 30-year-old Brown is a native of Cartersville, Ga. Thestate’s 2A Player of the Year in football as a senior atCartersville High, Brown also was a stellar baseball player.He was drafted by Major League Baseball’s Seattle Marinersin the 50th round in 2000. Brown bypassed the majorleagues to attend Auburn where he was a two-time second-teamAll-SEC pick.In Sept. 2010, Brown started the RonnieBrown Project and a campaign entitled“23 Ways to Stop Youth Violence.” Itwas a project with one main goal: to stop violence inschools. His target was middle and high school students inMiami-Dade and Broward Counties in Florida, and Brownworked closely with the Jason Taylor Foundation, TeenTruth Live and the Miami-Dade Violence Intervention Projectto make the program a success.

80 MALCOM FLOYDWide Receiver Free Agent - ’046-5, 225 Wyoming7th NFL SeasonRiver City HS9th with <strong>Chargers</strong>Sacramento, Calif.VETERANS &RETURNING PLAYERSMalcom Floyd was all smiles when he returned to the<strong>Chargers</strong> with a new two-year contract following the NFLlockout of 2011. Unfortunately, the smiles dissipated asthe ’11 season’s script unfolded, following a familiar andfrustrating pattern of events for Floyd.He was off to a solid start in 2011 with a couple of 100-yard games against the Denver Broncos and Kansas CityChiefs. However, in the Chiefs game on Halloween night,Floyd aggravated a hip injury that forced him to the sidelinesfor the next four games. The <strong>Chargers</strong> were 4-3 whenFloyd got hurt, but lost all four of the games he missed.When he finally returned for an early Dec. game in Jacksonville,the <strong>Chargers</strong> had fallen to 4-7 and were barelyalive in the AFC Playoff hunt. Not surprisingly, the <strong>Chargers</strong>went 4-1 with Floyd back in the lineup.Despite the setbacks, Floyd still managed to postimpressive numbers in 2011. He caught 43 passes with 41resulting in first downs, a 95.3 pct. clip that was highest inthe NFL. His first 23 catches of the season all went for firstdowns and his first catch that didn’t result in a first downwasn’t until Dec. 11. Floyd totaled a career-high 856 yardsto go along with five touchdowns and his career-best19.9-yard average was the highest in the league amongplayers with more than 800 yards receiving. It was also theninth highest in team history among players with at least40 catches. Floyd had at least 95 yards and a touchdownin four of the <strong>Chargers</strong>’ last five games last season and he’lllook to carry that momentum into the <strong>2012</strong> season.A deep-ball threat with a measured vertical leap of morethan three feet (40 inches) Floyd became a mainstay in the<strong>Chargers</strong>’ offensive lineup in 2008. Since then, he’s caught152 passes for 2,814 yards and his 18.5-yard average isthird in the NFL behind only Mike Wallace (18.7) and VictorCruz (18.7).Floyd’s older brother, Malcolm, played wide receiver forthe Houston Oilers, Tennessee Titans and St. Louis Rams inthe mid ’90s and is now the head football coach at C.K.McClatchy High School in Sacramento, Calif.Floyd enjoys playing basketball, riding jet skis and spendingtime with family, friends and teammates. An all-conferencehoopster in high school, Floyd’s team won an intramuralchampionship while he was in college at Wyoming.Floyd and his wife, Daphne, have two sons, Maiu andMalc.TRANSACTION HISTORY: Signed with <strong>Chargers</strong>, April 30,2004…waived Sept. 5 and signed to practice squad Sept. 7,2004…signed to active roster Dec. 11, 2004…waived Sept. 3,2005 and re-signed to practice squad Sept. 5, 2005…signedto active roster Dec. 7, 2005...signed one-year contractsMarch 7, 2007, March 25, 2008, May 15, 2009 and June 8,2010...agreed to two-year contract, Aug. 6, 2011.2011: Off to solid start Sept. 18 in New England with twolong third-down catches of 23 and 36 yards to set up earlytouchdown, but injured hip while making second catch and didnot play remainder of game...100 yards receiving on threecatches Oct. 9 at Denver...closed out first half with 42-yardtouchdown catch to give Bolts 23-10 lead...late in fourthquarter, 38-yard catch on 3rd-and-10 set up field goal thatgave <strong>Chargers</strong> 29-24 lead, forcing Denver to drive for gamewinningtouchdown instead of field goal...re-aggravated hipinjury Oct. 31 at Kansas City and inactive next four games...returned to starting lineup Dec. 5 at Jacksonville and caughtseason-long 52-yard touchdown pass in third quarter enroute to finishing game with 108 yards on four catches...14-yard catch on 2nd-and-18 Dec. 11 vs. Buffalo was first ofyear that didn’t go for first down, ending streak of 23-straight first-down catches to open season...capped seasonwith 127-yard performance, including 43-yard touchdowncatch in 38-26 win at Oakland. 2010: Career-long 54-yardtouchdown catch for final points in 38-13 win over JacksonvilleSept. 19...career-high 213 yards Oct. 10 atOakland...fourth-best single-game performance in team historyand most since 1985...tallied team-record 154 yards in firsthalf...scored touchdown on 41-yard catch vs. Raiders...injuredhamstring Oct. 17 at St. Louis and inactive next three games...re-aggravated injury and inactive Weeks 14-15...first-careermulti-touchdown game (17 and 9 yards) in Dec. 12 win vs.Kansas City...41-yard catch, despite pass interference, led tofield goal in 33-28 win at Denver Jan. 2. 2009: 24-yard catchon 3rd-and-12 and 38-yard pass interference penalty drawnthree plays later helps <strong>Chargers</strong> to 7-3 lead in key win Dec. 13at Dallas...Game Ball after Christmas Night game in Tennessee...52-yardtouchdown catch in second quarter calledback by penalty away from play...in third quarter drew passinterference in end zone to set up touchdown on nextplay...later in third quarter, 21-yard catch on 3rd-and-13 led totouchdown for 35-10 lead...Game Ball after then career-highsof 140 yards and nine catches vs. Washington Jan. 3... includedsix-yard catch on 4th down to sustain touchdown drive and50-yarder during field goal march. 2008: Season-long 49-yardtouchdown catch Week 6 NBC Sunday Night Football gamevs. New England…<strong>Chargers</strong> Alumni Offensive Player ofMonth (November)…Dec. 14 at Kansas City, helped <strong>Chargers</strong>overcome 21-10 fourth-quarter deficit by starting comebackwith four-yard touchdown catch with 1:13 remaining…duringdrive, had all five of his catches in game (67 yards)…diagnosedwith collapsed lung following game and spent night in hospitalbefore being inactive Weeks 15-16…healthy inactive for WildCard Playoffs vs. Indianapolis Jan. 5. 2006: <strong>Chargers</strong> AlumniPlayer of Week after season-long 46-yard touchdown catchin third quarter of 49-41 win at Cincinnati Nov. 12...first-career100-yard game (109 yards) at Bengals…late fourth quarter 12-yard tiptoe catch along boundary on 3rd-and-9 kept touchdowndrive alive for final points in win…inactive Week 13 atDenver (ankle)… “Reserve-Injured” (ankle) Dec. 14. 2005: Practicesquad Weeks 1-12 and inactive Weeks 13-16. 2004:First-career touchdown catch (13 yards) from Philip Rivers Jan.2 vs. Kansas City…was also Rivers’ first TD pass.COLLEGE: Honorable mention All-Mountain West Conferenceas senior…first-team All-MWC as soph…186 career catches forMEDIA GUIDE | 52

59 ANDREW GACHKARInside Linebacker Draft 7 – ’116-3, 228 Missouri2nd NFL SeasonBlue Valley West HS2nd with <strong>Chargers</strong>Overland Park, Kan.VETERANS &RETURNING PLAYERSA seventh-round draft pick in 2011, Andrew Gachkar didexactly what he needed to do to make the team: excel onspecial teams. Gachkar tied for the team lead with 12 specialteams tackles and gained valuable experience in limitedtime as a reserve inside linebacker. That experience shouldbode well for the former Missouri Tiger as he heads into hissecond NFL season.Gachkar has an inspirational story. In 2007, after hisfreshman year at Missouri, Gachkar was diagnosed withThoracic Outlet Syndrome. Basically a blood clot developedbecause his collarbone and rib cage were too close togetherto allow proper blood flow through his veins. As a result,Gachkar had to have major surgery to remove one of hisribs and a second surgery later when another clot devel-TRANSACTION HISTORY: Seventh-round pick (234), April30, 2011...signed four-year contract, July 28.2011: Season-high three special teams tackles Oct. 23 atNew York Jets...two special teams stops each at Kansas CityOct. 31 and vs. Denver (Nov. 27) and Baltimore (Dec. 18).oped. In total, Gachkar spent more than 20 hours in surgeryand nearly a month in the hospital where he lost 30pounds. The surgeries initially put Gachkar’s football futurein doubt, but he was diligent in his rehabilitation and hemade it back for the 2008 season without missing a game.By the time Gachkar left Missouri, he did so as a firstteamAll-Big 12 choice by the Associated Press and a solidspecial teams player. He led one of the most improveddefenses 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 is engaged to his high school sweetheart, LaurenNuckolls.

78 JARED GAITHERTackle Waivers (Kansas City) - ’116-9, 340 Maryland6th NFL SeasonRoosevelt HS2nd with <strong>Chargers</strong>Greenbelt, Md.In 2011, Jared Gaither was the <strong>Chargers</strong>’ “Knight in ShiningArmor.”In late November, the <strong>Chargers</strong> found themselves introuble. The team had last six games in a row and Pro Bowlleft tackle Marcus McNeill had been lost to a neck injury.But the <strong>Chargers</strong> were in the right place at the right timewhen Kansas City chose to waive the behemoth 6-9, 340-pound tackle. Immediately the Bolts put in a claim and onNov. 30, Gaither was awarded to the <strong>Chargers</strong>.<strong>Chargers</strong> offensive line coaches Hal Hunter and MikeSullivan immediately went to work with Gaither. Incredibly,just five days later, Gaither was in the starting lineup as the<strong>Chargers</strong> tied their season-high with 38 points in a MondayNight Football victory at Jacksonville that halted theteam’s losing streak.Gaither went on to hold down the left tackle spot forthe final five games of the season. He did not allow a sackand the <strong>Chargers</strong> closed the year 4-1.As the NFL calendar turned to <strong>2012</strong>, the <strong>Chargers</strong> optedto release McNeill and in March they signed Gaither to anew four-year contract.Everything that Gaither has accomplished thus far in hiscareer is impressive when considering that he’s only playedfootball competitively for a relatively short period of time.He didn’t play in high school until his senior year. He onlyplayed two seasons at the University of Maryland. And hemissed the entire 2010 season in Baltimore with a backinjury. Still, the <strong>Chargers</strong> believe Gaither has the size andskill to become one of the NFL’s top left tackles.Cooking is one of Gaither’s favorite hobbies. He learnedto cook in college by watching the Food Network and he’sbeen profiled on ESPN’s Jock Chef and has participated ina number of celebrity chef events during his career.Gaither also likes to spend time with his four dogs, playvideo games, fish and spend time out on the water. Thevery first time he went fishing, Gaither accidentally threwhis rod over the side of the boat.

85 ANTONIO GATESTight End Free Agent - ’036-4, 255 Kent State10th NFL SeasonCentral HS10th with <strong>Chargers</strong>Detroit, Mich.Antonio Gates, the San Diego <strong>Chargers</strong>’ all-time receptionsleader, finally returned to 100 percent in 2011.Hampered by nagging foot injuries, Gates finally foundcomfort as the 2011 season motored along and he endedthe year leading the team in receptions for the seventh timeduring his Hall of Fame career. For Gates, the highlight cameon Christmas Eve in his hometown of Detroit, Mich., whenhe passed Charlie Joiner to become the <strong>Chargers</strong>’ all-timeleading receiver with his 587th career catch. Gates finishedthe year with 593 catches, leaving him just seven awayfrom 600, a mark that only four tight ends and 58 totalplayers in NFL history have achieved.Gates ended 2011 on a high note. He was voted to theAFC Pro Bowl squad for an eighth-consecutive season andin the <strong>Chargers</strong>’ season finale at Oakland, he recorded hisfirst 100-yard game of the year and had a season-long 38-yard touchdown catch in a win over the Raiders. Gates’touchdown catch against the Raiders was the 76th of hiscareer, leaving him just five behind Lance Alworth’s teamrecord of 81. Considering that Gates has had at least sevenTD catches in every season since 2004, it’s a matter ofwhen, not if Gates will pass the legendary “Bambi.”From 2004-10, Gates was the only NFL player with atleast eight touchdown catches in each of those seasons.Heading into <strong>2012</strong>, he has 19 100-yard receivinggames, tied with Anthony Miller for sixth in team history.Gates is a member of the NFL’s All-Decade Team (2000-09) and one of the <strong>Chargers</strong>’ 50 Greatest Players of All-Time. In addition to being an eight-time Pro Bowl all-star,he’s been named first-team All-Pro three times during hiscareer. Since his arrival in the NFL in 2003, Gates leads alltight ends in TD catches (76), while ranking third in receivingyards (7,783) and catches (593). To properly put Gates’numbers into perspective, there are presently seven modern-eratight ends enshrined in the Pro Football Hall ofFame. Gates’ career touchdown total exceeds all seven.They include Winslow, John Mackey, Ozzie Newsome,Dave Casper, Jackie Smith, Charlie Sanders and Mike Ditka.Gates’ unique route to the NFL has been well-chronicled.When he signed with the <strong>Chargers</strong> in 2003, he had not playedfootball since his senior season at Central High School inDetroit. He began his collegiate career at Michigan State underthe assumption that he could play both football and basketball,but when the football coach relented, Gates chose to focus onhoops and decided it was best to leave the East Lansing campus.An up-and-down start to his basketball career sent Antoniobouncing to three different schools before he finally founda home at Kent State, where in two seasons he helped lead theGolden Flashes to back-to-back Mid-American Conferencechampionships and the Elite Eight of the NCAA Tournament in2002. Gates left the Kent, Ohio campus as the school’s sixthleadingscorer and he returned to the Kent, Ohio, campus inFeb. 2010 to have his No. 44 jersey retired by the school.Gates’ basketball background has also had an impact on thecommunity. Annually he serves as the honorarychairman for the Shoot to Cure HD, aspeed free-throw shooting contest and eventthat raises money for the Huntington’s DiseaseSociety of America. He also hosts “Shopwith a Charger,” a unique Christmas event forhomeless, neglected and abused children.If Gates’ athletic career had not steered him toward footballor basketball, it’s possible he may have fashioned acareer in boxing. His paternal grandfather,Henry Hank, was a professional boxer in the1950s and ’60s. Hank fought 97 professionalbouts as a middleweight and light heavyweight,winning 62 of them. His 1962 fightagainst Joey Giardello was voted the Fight ofthe Year by Ring Magazine. Old photos showa striking resemblance between Gates and his grandfather,and many in the family believe that Gates inherited his athleticability from him.Had Gates not opted for a career in athletics, he might havetried his hand as a firefighter. A couple of years ago, a group offirefighters attended a training camp practice and one of themost enamored players was Gates. He told several of themthat long ago he’d dreamed of being a firefighter so severalweeks later, the assistant San Diego fire chief returned to<strong>Chargers</strong> Park and presented Gates with a <strong>SD</strong>FD firefightersjacket with his own name and number.VETERANS &RETURNING PLAYERSTRANSACTION HISTORY: Signed with <strong>Chargers</strong>, May 2,2003…signed six-year contract Aug. 22, 2005...signed newsix-year contract through 2015, July 28, 2010.2011: Pro Bowl...caught eight passes Week 1 vs. Minnesotato move past LaDainian Tomlinson and into third place onteam’s all-time receptions list...inactive Weeks 3-5 (foot)...first touchdown catch of season Oct. 23 at NY Jets...70thcareerTD catch to join Tony Gonzalez as only tight ends inNFL history with at least 70 scoring catches...finished gamewith five catches (542 career) and moved past KellenWinslow (541) for second-most in team history...set up thirdquarter touchdown Dec. 5 at Jacksonville with seven-yardcatch on 3rd-and-4 play, and at same time passed Gary Garrisonfor third on team’s all-time receiving yardage list...earlierin game, kept another touchdown drive alive with 23-yardcatch on 2nd-and-20 play...Dec. 11 vs. Buffalo, scored firsttouchdown of game, and during drive passed Garrison(7,562) for fourth on team’s all-time list for career scrimmageyards…caught second touchdown pass in third quarter, 75thof his career to become 27th player overall and only secondtight end (Gonzalez) in NFL history with 75 career TD catches...marked14th-career multi-touchdown game and first of2011...Dec. 24 at Detroit, caught team-record 587th careerpass for six yards on 4th-and-5 in fourth quarter to passCharlie Joiner (586) for all-time lead...Jan. 1 at Oakland,scored <strong>Chargers</strong>’ first points on season-long 38-yard touchdowncatch on 3rd-and-9...ignited next scoring drive with37-yard catch and contributed to third-quarter TD drive withnine-yard catch on 3rd-and-4, followed by 16-yarder thatContinued next pageMEDIA GUIDE | 59

He plays football with a bit of a chip onhis shoulder after almost being overlooked to play in college.At powerhouse St. Thomas Aquinas in Ft. Lauderdale,Fla., Goodman didn’t become a full-time starter until hissenior year. By then, most of the major colleges had doledout their scholarship offers, but when Goodman began tobeat some of the top prep recruits in the state during theplayoffs his senior season, colleges began to take notice.Florida State was one of the first to offer a scholarship andthe sincerity of former Coach Bobby Bowden is what ledGoodman to Tallahassee to play for the Seminoles.One of Goodman’s childhood heroes was Michael Irvin,another alum of St. Thomas Aquinas. The two men grewup in the same area and Goodman has tried to train, competeand approach the game the same way that the Hall ofFame receiver did during his illustrious career.Goodman is the oldest of four children who was raisedby a single mom with help from his paternal grandmother,Olinthia, who passed in 1998. Now that he’s grown, Goodmanhas ambitions of starting a foundation to assist singlemoms. Goodman has a teardrop tattooed below his righteye in memory of his late grandmother and another on hisleft forearm that’s a tribute to his mother.Goodman’s best friend is Chicago Bears safety MajorWright.TRANSACTION HISTORY: Signed two-year contract, May10, 2010...waived Sept. 4 and re-signed to practice squad,Sept. 6... signed to active roster, Oct. 13...waived Nov. 6 andre-signed to practice squad, Nov. 10...placed on practicesquad-Injured, Dec. 1...re-signed one-year contracts, Feb. 11,2011 and March 28, <strong>2012</strong>.2011: AFC Special Teams Player of Week after teamrecord105-yard kickoff return touchdown Jan. 1 at Oakland...first-careerNFL score...finished game with 215 kickoffreturn yards, third-most in game in team history. 2010: Practicesquad Weeks 1-5...signed to active roster before Oct. 17game at St. Louis....two special teams tackles vs. Rams...firstcareercatch (25 yards) and two more special teams stopsOct. 24 vs. New England.COLLEGE: Career totals of 54 catches for 602 yards andthree touchdowns...recovery of onside kick preserved 12-6win at Colorado in 2007...fractured fibula in eighth game of2007 season vs. Duke...redshirted entire ’08 season whilerecovering... played at Florida State from 2005-09...degree insocial science.PERSONAL: Born in Ft.

61 NICK HARDWICKCenter Draft 3B - ’046-4, 305 Purdue9th NFL SeasonLawrence North HS9th with <strong>Chargers</strong>Indianapolis, Ind.After the 2011 season ended, center Nick Hardwick hadan important decision to make. He was an unrestricted freeagent, a new father and one of his best friends and linemates- left guard Kris Dielman - retired after suffering aserious concussion last season. All of it led Hardwick toponder whether he wanted to continue playing football,and if he did, whether he wanted to play it in San Diego ormake a fresh start elsewhere.When the dust settled just prior to the start of freeagency, Hardwick decided home is where the heart is andhe opted to sign a new three-year contract with the <strong>Chargers</strong>that will keep him in San Diego through the 2014 season.Having the chance to continue in the same city wherehe started his career lifted a huge burden from the shouldersof Hardwick and his wife, Jayme.One of the most highly-regarded centers in the game anda member of the <strong>Chargers</strong> 50th Anniversary All-Time Team,Hardwick comes into <strong>2012</strong> having started 103 careergames and 34 straight. Last season, he started all 16 gamesfor the second year in a row and he was selected by teammatesas the <strong>Chargers</strong>’ Lineman of the Year. He was alsochosen as a third-alternate to the AFC Pro Bowl squad.With all the accolades, it’s hard to believe that just threeseasons ago Hardwick suffered an ankle injury so seriousthat it nearly ended his career. Hemissed 13 games during the 2009 season,but returned for a late-seasonpush to the playoffs and hasn’t misseda game since. Charged with calling outthe blocking schemes and makingchanges at the line of scrimmage, Hardwickhas a close bond with quarterbackPhilip Rivers. A year ago they appeared together on thecover of Sports Illustrated’s NFL Preview issue.When Hardwick started all 16 games for the NFL’s No. 1ranked offense in 2010, teammates honored him with ashare of the team’s Emil Karas Memorial Award as its mostinspirational player.A Pro Bowl selection in 2006, Hardwick has been astarter since his rookie season (2004). The <strong>Chargers</strong> haverushed for at least 1,700 yards in every season that he hasstarted at least 12 games, including a team-record 2,578yards in ’06.Hardwick grew up in Indianapolis where he was a standoutprep wrestler with dreams of becoming a Marine avia-tor. One of his father’s cousins, Joe McCormick, was a formerAir Force pilot and Hardwick acquired his pilot’s licensebefore he turned 18. He earned the money to pay for hisflying lessons by collecting golf balls at a local driving range.With an eye toward the service, Hardwick went to Purdueon a Marine Corps ROTC Scholarship. But after former<strong>Chargers</strong> quarterback Drew Brees led the Boilermakers tothe 2001 Rose Bowl, Hardwick saw the excitement it generatedon the Purdue campus, and the following fall hedecided to walk on to the school’s football team. A yearafter earning a spot as a scout team defensive tackle, Hardwickbecame the Boilermakers’ starting center and earnedall-conference honors. His wife, Jayme, is also a former Boilermaker.She played soccer for Purdue’s women’s team.Hardwick maintains close ties to his alma mater. In 2007,he endowed a football scholarship at the school that isgiven annually to a walk-on player who earns it, just asHardwick did. And in 2008, Purdue presented him with theDrew Brees Mental Attitude Award, presented by the JoeTiller/Northwest Indiana Chapter of the National FootballFoundation. Hardwick became the fourth former Boilermakerto receive the award. Brees chooses the winnereach year to recognize an athlete who exemplifies exceptionalmental attitude.Owner of a management degree from Purdue, Hardwickis the <strong>Chargers</strong>’ union representative and he guided theplayers through the NFL Lockout in 2011. He sharpenedhis business acumen when he attended the NFL’s Businessand Entrepreneurial Program at the Wharton School at theUniversity of Pennsylvania in 2009. It is a special programwhere NFL players and front office employees spend aweek learning a broad range of business topics from someof the country’s most well-known educators.In December 2011, the Hardwicks became first-timeparents. Son, Hudson Harold, was born the night beforethe <strong>Chargers</strong>’ nationally-televised game against the BaltimoreRavens. NBC showed America a picture of baby Hudsonduring the following night’s game broadcast.Hardwick supports the Marine Corps-Law EnforcementFoundation (MCLEF), an organization that raises money toprovide advanced education for the children of Marinesand law enforcement officers killed in the line of duty. Healso enjoys reading and drawing. As a youth in Indianapolis,Hardwick played hockey on a traveling team that competedthroughout the U.S. and Canada.VETERANS &RETURNING PLAYERSTRANSACTION HISTORY: Third-round pick (66), April 24,2004…signed July 29...signed six-year contract, June 16, 2006and three-year deal, March 14, <strong>2012</strong>.2011: <strong>Chargers</strong>’ Lineman of Year...Pro Bowl third-alternate...anchoredline in season-high 206-yard rushing dayOct. 9 at Denver...part of offensive line that earned MaddenProtectors Award after not allowing any sacks in 26 passplays and helping to block for 153 rush yards and touchdownin season-ending win at Oakland. 2010: <strong>Chargers</strong>’ co-MostInspirational Player...offensive line blocked for 180 rushMEDIA GUIDE | 67yards and allowed just one sack in 41-10 win vs. Arizona Oct.3...offensive line named Madden Most Valuable Protectorsafter season-high 207 yards rushing in 31-0 win vs. KansasCity Dec. 12. 2009: Injured left ankle Week 1 at Oakland andinactive next 13 games... returned for Dec. 25 win at Tennesseeand helped <strong>Chargers</strong> rush for 166 yards. 2008: ProBowl third-alternate…inactive Weeks 1-3 (foot)…Week 14at Kansas City, left in 3Q (concussion), but started followingweek when Philip Rivers threw career-high four touchdownsin 41-24 win at Tampa Bay… anchored team-record 289-yardrushing performance in AFC West-clinching win vs. DenverContinued next page

96 JARRET JOHNSONOutside Linebacker UFA (Baltimore) - ’126-3, 260 Alabama10th NFL SeasonChiefland HS1st with <strong>Chargers</strong>Cedar Key, Fla.VETERANS &RETURNING PLAYERSThe <strong>Chargers</strong> landed one of the top prizes in the NFLfree agent pool when outside linebacker Jarret Johnsonsigned a four-year contract in March. The 6-3, 260-poundstandout was rated as the 14th-best available free agentby SI.com. Johnson is expected to take over as the strongoutside linebacker in the <strong>Chargers</strong>’ 3-4 defense.Johnson’s durability is one of the traits that made him soattractive to the <strong>Chargers</strong>. He leaves Baltimore havingplayed in a team-record 129 straight regular-season gamesfor the Ravens, including 80 consecutive starts. Nicknamed“J.J.” and “Double-J” by his Ravens teammates, Johnsonepitomized the term “blue-collar player” during his nineseasons wearing the Ravens’ purple and black. His careertotals include 523 tackles, 20 sacks, three interceptions,nine forced fumbles and 21 passes defensed.Johnson, wife Anna, and daughter, Molly-Caroline, maketheir offseason home in Niceville, Fla., close to Eglin AirForce Base. Johnson has long been a supporter of ournation’s armed forces and with San Diego’s large populationof Marines and Navy personnel along with the team’soutreach to area installations, Johnson should have noproblem feeling right at home in San Diego.Johnson is an avid outdoorsman who loves to boat, huntand fish. Ironically, he loves the outdoors despite comingfrom a family with a long and trying legacy of men whomade a living as commercial crabbers and fishermen.Beginning with his great-grandfather, all of the men in theJohnson family worked on the water, including his father,Ludwig, who was tragically lost at sea when Jarret was justtwo weeks shy of his eighth birthday. Johnson grew upfishing with his father and his death took a severe emotionaltoll. It also left his mother, Aida, alone to take care ofJohnson and his sister, Mary Beth, with no job and noinsurance. She quickly got back on her feet though, findinga job as an emergency response technician, while she alsoreturned to nursing school. The only drawback was thatthe job required her to drive nearly 150 miles each day toand from work. To aid the family after Ludwig’s death, oneof his dad’s best friends, Harry Rogers, who had worked onoil rigs up in Alaska, relocated to Florida to help Aida andprovide Johnson with a father figure. And years later, Aidamoved the family to Chiefland, Fla., where Johnsonlaunched his football career on his way to becoming thefirst male in the family to not work as a fisherman. For along time, Johnson resented the water and what it represented,but a couple of years ago while visiting Rogers inFlorida as he was fighting a losing battle with cancer, Johnsonstumbled upon an old book that contained some of hisfather’s old fishing logs. He discovered that his father notonly fished for a living, but worked as a fishing guide, afireman, and he even wrote a fishing report for the localnewspaper. This discovery and all that the books containedhelped provide Johnson with some closure and it rekindledan interest in fishing and being on the water. Johnson evenrecently disclosed that had the NFL lockout continued in2011 that he was considering finding work as a commercialfishing guide, something that is now on hold until hisfootball career comes to a conclusion.Johnson again lives on the water in Niceville where heowns a 22-foot Pathfinder fishing boat. He has plans topurchase an even larger vessel and name it the Hotspur inhonor of his great grandfather, a Danish immigrant whosefirst fishing boat went by the same name.And even though Johnson enjoys hunting and fishing,he has a Chocolate Labrador Retriever and has been aspokesperson for the Humane Society and several campaignsaimed at stopping animal abuse.TRANSACTION HISTORY: Fourth-round pick (109) by Baltimore,April 27, 2003...signed with Ravens, July 26...re-signedwith Ravens March 17, 2006, March 6, 2007 and Oct. 10,2009...contract expired March 13, <strong>2012</strong>...signed with <strong>Chargers</strong>,March 17.2011: USA Today All-Joe...AFC Defensive Player of Weekafter fumble recovery and return 26 yards in 34-17 win overNY Jets Oct. 2... started franchise-record 74th-straight gameNov. 20 vs. Cincinnati. 2010: Played in 100th-consecutivegame Sept. 26 vs. Cleveland...tied team lead with seven stopsto go with sack and forced fumble in 30-24 win over NewOrleans Dec. 19...helped hold Saints to 27 yards rushing,fifth-fewest allowed in franchise history...played in 112thstraightgame to set new Ravens record Dec. 26 at Cleveland.2009: Set career-highs with six sacks and two interceptions...career-besttwo sacks Sept. 13 vs. Kansas City...sack in100th career game Oct. 11 vs. Cincinnati...interception andeight yard return Dec. 7 at Green Bay...pick and passdefensed in 31-7 win over Chicago Dec. 20 as defense heldJay Cutler to franchise-record-low 7.9 passer rating... firstcareerplayoff sack in Divisional round Jan. 16 at Indianapolis.2008: Forced fumble, fumble recovery and 1.5 sacks in 36-7win over Philadelphia Nov. 23. 2007: Career-high 94 tacklesin first year as full-time starter despite playing most of seasonwith broken thumb...career-best 11 tackles and forcedfumble in 20-13 win over NY Jets Sept. 16...season-high fivequarterback hits and pass defensed in 22-3 win over St. LouisOct. 14. 2006: Saw action at defensive end, outside linebackerand middle linebacker with half-sack during 27-0 winover Pittsburgh Nov. 26. 2005: 2005 Extra Effort Awardfrom Ravens Roost No. 7 (Haggerstown, Md.) for Ravenwho worked hardest and provided extra-effort onfield...first-career sack and forced fumble in 16-13 overtimewin vs. Steelers Nov. 20. 2004: First-career interception andsix-yard touchdown return in Jan. 2 season finale vs. Miami.2003: Started first career game as left defensive end Nov. 30vs. San Francisco and broke up pass which led to interception.COLLEGE: Only two-time team captain in Crimson Tide history...first-teamAll-SEC as junior and senior, while gainingsecond-team honors as sophomore...finished career with 190MEDIA GUIDE | 74

Shortly after he sent the season’s openingkickoff airborn, Minnesota’s Percy Harvin took it back for103 yards and a touchdown just 15 seconds into the season.Worse for Kaeding, while attempting to stop Harvinduring the return, Kaeding planted his left leg and his ACLgave way, bringing a premature end to his ’11 season.After nearly a full year of rehab, Kaeding’s leg is back to100 percent and he’s looking forward to extending hiscareer as the NFL’s most accurate kicker.Kaeding heads into <strong>2012</strong> having made 76 of his last 77regular-season field goal tries from 40 yards or closer. Hemade the Pro Bowl in 2009 after going 32 of 35, a franchisesingle-season record for FG percentage (.914), and hescored a team-record 146 points. He also made a personalbest20 in a row to close out the ’09 regular season.An avid golfer, several years ago Kaeding enlisted theservices of local golf pro, Derek Uyeda, to help improve hisleg swing. Uyeda attends Kaeding’s workouts, videotapeshis kicks and together they analyze his form and mechanics.Kaeding also sought the help of Jan Stenerud, one ofthe best NFL kickers of all-time, and he’s trained at St. Vincent’sin Indianapolis, where professional trainers workedwith him on maximizing his physical strengths.Kaeding is still renowned in his native Iowa. In July 2009,the Cedar Rapids Kernels minor-league baseball team invitedhim to a game and had him kick autographed footballsto the crowd between innings. He is also part-owner of theShort’s Burgers and Shine restaurant in Iowa City.

94 COREY LIUGETDefensive End Draft 1 – ’116-2, 300 Illinois2nd NFL SeasonHialeah HS2nd with <strong>Chargers</strong>Miami, Fla.Corey Liuget had to grow up in a hurry as a San Diego<strong>Chargers</strong> rookie and the team’s first pick in the 2011 NFLDraft. He was drafted in April and handed a playbookshortly thereafter, but due to the NFL lockout, he wasunable to work with coaches and teammates until thelockout was resolved in late July. Furthermore, injuries hitthe defensive line hard and the young rookie was pressedinto immediate duty.Liuget became the <strong>Chargers</strong>’ opening day starter at rightdefensive end where he remained throughout the season.He started 13 of the 15 games in which he played and hisnumbers were solid with 26 tackles, five tackles for loss, asack, a forced fumble and three passes defensed.Work ethic is one trait that was drilled into Liuget at anearly age. His father, DeJa, was killed while visiting Corey’sgrandmother in Haiti in 1993. It left Corey’s mom, Lorene,to raise him and his four older brothers and sisters as a singleparent in Miami’s housing projects. When her kids wereyoung, Lorene enlisted their help to make ends meet. Shewould boil peanuts, make candy apples, conch fritters andsweet potato pies, which Corey and his brothers and sis-ters would sell. It worked and it taught all of the kids aboutwork ethic and discipline.Liuget went on to have a standout career at Miami’sHialeah High School. Despite hailing from a close-knit familythat tops 100 in number and a strong recruiting pushfrom the big in-state schools, Liuget opted to chart his ownpath and enrolled at the University of Illinois. After a coupleof years in Champaign, Ill., Liuget grew homesick thoughand contemplated returning home after his sophomoreseason. Some tough love from his mom persuaded him tostick it out and instead of moping over the situation, Liugetused it as motivation. He lost 25 pounds between hissophomore and junior seasons, and feeling re-invigorated,had a career year for the Fighting Illini in 2010. Liuget thenchose to leave school a year early and apply for the NFLDraft. The <strong>Chargers</strong> loved the toughness, tenacity andrelentless approach to the game that he showed and madeLiuget their first-ever first-round pick from Illinois.Liuget appreciates living in San Diego, a military city, ashis two older sisters, Ideidre and Latronika, both serve ourcountry in the U.S. Army.VETERANS &RETURNING PLAYERSTRANSACTION HISTORY: First-round pick (18), April 28,2011...agreed to four-year contract, Aug. 4, 2011.2011: Led team with two tackles for loss in first-career gameSept. 11 vs. Minnesota...helped close out NBC Sunday NightFootball win over Baltimore Dec. 18 with late fourth-quartersack.COLLEGE: Honorable mention All-America by Pro FootballWeekly and second-team All-Big Ten as junior in 2010...alsoteam captain and Fighting Illini Outstanding defensive lineman...rankedseventh in Big Ten in tackles for loss (12.5) andeighth in sacks (4.5) in ’10...Big Ten Defensive Player of Weekafter 1.5 tackles for loss vs. Fresno State...finished careerwith 125 tackles, 8.5 sacks, 25.5 tackles for loss, two forcedfumbles, three fumble recoveries and 13 quarterback hurries...played at Illinois from 2008-10...left school after junior season...sociologymajor.PERSONAL: Born in Miami, Florida...first-team all-state andall-area at Hialeah (Fla.)

41 COREY LYNCHStrong Safety UFA (Tampa Bay) – ’126-0, 210 Appalachian State5th NFL SeasonEvangelical Christian HS1st with <strong>Chargers</strong>Ft. Myers, Fla.VETERANS &RETURNING PLAYERSIn late May, the <strong>Chargers</strong> signed Corey Lynch to providedepth and experience in the defensive secondary and onspecial teams.Lynch came over as an unrestricted free agent fromTampa Bay, where he spent the 2009-11 seasons. In hislast season with the Buccaneers, Lynch tallied 20 tackles,an interception and four passes defensed. He also tied forsecond on the team with seven special teams tackles.Lynch came to the NFL from Division I-AA AppalachianState where he helped lead the Mountaineers to threestraight national titles. A three-time All-American, Lynchwas perhaps best known as a collegian for blocking apotential game-winning field goal in a 2007 34-32 win atnational Division I-A powerhouse Michigan. It was one ofsix kicks he blocked during his college career.Lynch’s NFL career began in 2008 when the CincinnatiBengals drafted him in the sixth round. He spent the 2008and early part of the 2009 seasons in Cincinnati. In June2009, Lynch was driving on an interstate in neighboringKentucky when he witnessed a van drive off the road andplummet nearly 300 feet down an embankment. Lynchquickly pulled over and raced down the embankment wherehe found four people injured in the van. The most seriouslyinjured was a woman named Cynthia Brennan, whose neckwas smashed and pinned against a seat from the force ofthe accident. Lynch helped free Brennan until emergencypersonnel responded and his actions were largely creditedfor helping save her life. Later that year, a healthy andrecovered Brennan visited Lynch at a Bengals practice.Lynch’s wife, Cissie Graham Lynch, is the granddaughterof evangelist Billy Graham. His brother, Colton, is a juniordefensive back at Harvard.TRANSACTION HISTORY: Sixth-round pick (177) by Cincinnati,April 27, 2008...signed with Bengals, July 26...waivedSept. 5, 2009...re-signed to Bengals’ practice squad, Sept.7...signed to Tampa Bay’s active roster, Sept. 23...contractexpired March 13, <strong>2012</strong>...signed with <strong>Chargers</strong>, May 29.2011: Fourth-quarter interception off Chicago’s Jay Cutlerled to touchdown in Oct. 23 game at London’s Wembley Stadium.2010: Career-high 24 tackles on defense and 18 onspecial teams...season-high three special teams stops Oct. 10at Cincinnati...interception off Matt Ryan after making firstcareerstart Dec. 5 vs. Atlanta. 2009: Signed to Tampa Bay’sactive roster from Cincinnati’s practice squad on Sept.23...Blocked first-career punt Nov. 29 at Atlanta...blockedfield goal Jan. 3 vs. Falcons. 2008: First-career interceptionOct. 12 off New York Jets’ Brett Favre.COLLEGE: Three-time All-America (2005-07) helped leadAppalachian State to three consecutive Division I-AA nationalchampionships from 2005-07...as senior in 2007, finishedsecond in voting for Buck Buchanan Award as top defensiveplayer in FCS...was closest 1-2 vote in award’s history...setSouth Conference record with 24 career interceptions andset FCS record with 52 career passes defensed...schoolrecord 395 interception return yards...six blocked kicks weresecond in school history...started 55 of 56 career games andtallied 358 tackles...granted medical redshirt after two games(elbow) in 2004...played at Appalachian State from 2003-07...applied physics major.PERSONAL: Born in Cape Coral, Fla....two-time Class A allstatedefensive back and running back at Evangelical ChristianSchool in Ft.

92 VAUGHN MARTINDefensive End-Tackle Draft 4A – ’096-4, 308 Western Ontario4th NFL SeasonSouth Secondary4th with <strong>Chargers</strong>London, OntarioVETERANS &RETURNING PLAYERSVaughn Martin’s rapid rise from the Canadian collegeranks to becoming a premier NFL lineman took a major stepforward in 2011 when he started 15 games at left defensiveend. Originally expected to be a regular in the line’srotation, Martin quickly moved into the starting lineupwhen Luis Castillo suffered a fractured left tibia just minutesinto the season’s opening game against Minnesota.Martin started the <strong>Chargers</strong>’ final 15 games and posteda career-best 49 tackles, second among defensive linemen.Martin is a native of Lucea, Jamaica where he grew upplaying cricket and soccer. When Martin was nine, hismother, Doreen, married a man who lived in Toronto andMartin and his mother moved to Canada. They lived inToronto and then London, Ontario, which is where Martinlearned to play hockey and football. He began playing highschool football in the 10th grade and played just two collegiateseasons. In between, he played two seasons of summerball in the Central Ontario Football League and playedfor Team Canada at the 2006 NFL Global Championships,where Team Canada went 5-0 and posted five shutoutswhile Martin was named to the All-Tournament Team.After high school, Martin spent a year at the Milford PrepSchool in New York. He was ticketed to attend MichiganState after prep school, but a mixup over his transcripts preventedhim from becoming a Spartan. Instead Martinenrolled at Western Ontario, where as a freshman he ledthe Mustangs a conference title and Canada’s collegiatenational championship football game. Martin applied forthe NFL Draft despite having three seasons of college eligibilityremaining, and he became the first Canadian underclassmanto get drafted by an NFL team. Martin playeddefensive end and tackle at Western Ontario, and playedfullback in the team’s short-yardage offense.Martin was one of the most intelligent players to emergefrom the 2009 NFL Draft, scoring a 38 on the league’sWonderlic Test.TRANSACTION HISTORY: Fourth-round pick (113), April 26,2009...signed four-year contract, July 25.2011: Career-high eight tackles Nov. 27 vs. Denver...sack andtwo tackles for loss in Christmas Eve game in Detroit. 2010:Sack on 3rd-down play in fourth quarter of 35-14 win vs.Denver Nov. 22...outstanding game with team-high threequarterback hits on Brodie Croyle in 31-0 shutout win overKansas City Dec. 12. 2009: Game Ball Jan. 3 vs. Washingtonafter playing season-high snaps.COLLEGE: GoodLife Fitness Athlete of Week after 2008 gamevs. Queen’s University...finished career with 92 tackles, 7.5sacks, 17.5 tackles for loss, 22 quarterback pressures andtouchdown on interception return...social sciences major.PERSONAL: Born in Lucea, Jamaica...prepped at LondonSouth Secondary School in London, Ontario.Regular Season Pass Fumbles Special TeamsYear Team G-S Tack.-Asst.

24 RYAN MATHEWSRunning Back Draft 1 – ’106-0, 220 Fresno State3rd NFL SeasonWest HS3rd with <strong>Chargers</strong>Bakersfield, Calif.Ryan Mathews made quite an ascent from year one toyear two of his NFL career, capping off a 1,500-yard seasonwith an invitation to play in the <strong>2012</strong> Pro Bowl.Chosen by teammates as the <strong>Chargers</strong>’ Offensive Playerof the Year, Mathews rushed for 1,091 yards in 2011 andadded 455 as a pass-catcher to become just the 14th playerin team history to top 1,500 total yards from scrimmage.He was originally tabbed a second-alternate for the AFCPro Bowl roster, but was invited when two players aheadof him pulled out of the game. Mathews was deserving ofthe honor after a season in which he ranked seventh in theNFL in scrimmage yards, 10th in rushing yards and seventhagain in yards per carry.Only the 10th player in team history to top 1,000 yardsrushing, Mathews really found his legs late in the season,rushing for more than 100 yards in three-straight gamesagainst Denver, Jacksonville and Buffalo. During that samestretch, he put together a string of five-straight games inwhich he had at least one run of 20 yards or longer. Onlytwo other players in franchise history, Natrone Means andPaul Lowe, had similar streaks. Mathews’ average of 4.9yards per carry became the sixth-highest in team history(min. 200 attempts).Mathews and backfield-mate Mike Tolbert also provideda boost in the <strong>Chargers</strong>’ passing game as Mathews caught50 passes and their combined total of 104 was the second-mostby any running back tandem in the NFL.Mathews was the <strong>Chargers</strong>’ first-round pick in the ’10NFL Draft. As a rookie, he and Tolbert became the only runningback duo in franchise history to score at least sevenrushing touchdowns each, and they became the franchise’sfirst rushing duo to each top 600 yards since 1993.Mathews’ path to the NFL was a difficult one. He wasraised by a single mother, Tricia, who gave birth when shewas just 16. With her own mother battling a drug addiction,Tricia turned to relatives to find a place to stay and raiseRyan. Unfortunately, Tricia ran out of options and ultimatelysettled on the backseat of her 1969 Oldsmobile CutlassSupreme. Their story is both heartbreaking and inspiring.After several months of living in the car, bathing and washingRyan’s clothes at a public park and feeding him from aRiverside, California soup kitchen, Tricia found a stablehome with her grandmother, Glenna, in nearby Tehachapi.With a roof over her head, Tricia found work while hergrandmother looked after young Ryan. Tricia worked up tothree jobs a day to save money and support her son. Afteryears of saving and living with Ryan’s grandmother, Triciahad saved enough money to move them to Bakersfield,where Ryan enrolled at West High School. It was there thatTricia landed a well-paying job, but one of the drawbackswas that it included extensive travel. At the time, theMathews household had grown by one as Ryan’s bestfriend, Dante, had moved in with them to escape a homerife with drug use. With Tricia away working, Ryan andDante often had the apartment to themselves and as aresult, Ryan’s academics began a steady slide.Things became particularly bad following a 235-yard, sixtouchdownperformance by Mathews in the league championshipgame his junior year. With a D-average and on theverge of being ineligible for his senior year, Mathews waschallenged by both his mother and Fresno State HeadCoach Pat Hill. It was a crossroads for the budding star. Hismother’s plea carried the most weight as she reminded himof the sacrifices she made to raise him and it had a profoundeffect. Mathews fulfilled a promise to buckle downin school. He maintained his eligibility and proceeded to puttogether a 3,396-yard, 44-touchdown senior season thathad coaches calling from across the country.Despite the attention, Mathews stayed true to his commitmentto Fresno State’s Hill. A classic downhill runner witha blend of power and speed, Mathews broke out as a juniorat FSU, rushing for a school-record and NCAA-leading 1,808yards and 19 touchdowns. He tallied 17 runs of at least 20yards and enjoyed some of his best days against the nation’stop defenses, including a 234-yard, three-touchdown performanceagainst Boise State. Mathews became the onlyplayer in the nation to rush for more than 100 yards againstthree Top-25 teams in 2009, doing so against No. 5 Cincinnati,No. 6 Boise St. and No. 14 Wisconsin.Eager to make amends to his mother for her sacrificesand right earlier wrongs, Mathews applied for early entryto the 2010 NFL Draft. Ironically, one of Mathews’ childhoodheroes was LaDainian Tomlinson and Mathewssecretly hoped to be drafted by the <strong>Chargers</strong>. Unbeknownst,the <strong>Chargers</strong> were so smitten with Mathews thatthey traded up 16 spots to select Mathews with the 12thoverall pick in the first round.

12 ROBERT MEACHEMWide Receiver UFA (New Orleans) - ’126-2, 215 Tennessee6th NFL SeasonWashington HS1st with <strong>Chargers</strong>Tulsa, Okla.The <strong>Chargers</strong> didn’t wait long to snag one of the topcatches on the <strong>2012</strong> free agent market, agreeing to termswith former New Orleans Saint Robert Meachem on afour-year contract just hours after he became available. Afirst-round pick in 2007 and a Super Bowl champion withthe Saints following the 2009 season, Meachem has animpressive resume that includes 141 career catches, 2,269yards (16.1 avg.) and 23 touchdowns.The 27-year-old Meachem was ranked 47th on SI.com’slist of the Top 50 available free agents in <strong>2012</strong> and he’sexpected to fit right into Norv Turner’s offensive system.Meachem was raised in Tulsa, Okla., where he owns an8.5-acre farm that his grandfather, Leon, passed down toRobert when he was born. The farm is where he learned toride horses and rope calves before he turned six and it provideda safe haven from Tulsa’s notoriously violent streetgangs. Meachem’s dad, Robert, was an accomplished calfroper himself and the two of them traveled to rodeos inCalifornia, Nevada, Texas and Louisiana when Meachemwas a child. His very first horse was named “Little Man.”As a child, Meachem also fell in love with basketball.When his father built a regulation-height basket on thefarm, Meachem would shoot baskets while sitting on hishorse. As a middle and high schooler, Meachem was one ofthe nation’s best young players. As aneighth grader, he led his AAU team to anational title and in the ninth grade hefaced a team that featured LeBron Jamesand dunked over the Miami Heat star earlyin the contest. His success on the hardwoodcontinued into high school as he ledTulsa’s Booker T. Washington High to back-to-back statetitles following the 2001 and ’02 seasons. Football, however,was Meachem’s ticket to success so the Parade All-America receiver took his talents to the University of Tennesseewhere he blossomed into an All-America choice.Meachem opted to leave Tennessee after his junior seasonand the Saints chose him with the 27th overall pick in the’07 NFL Draft.Meachem has a very spiritual side to him. It comes fromhis late sister, Tammie, who was 12 years older and helpedraise Meachem as a child. She taught him about toughlove and helped him develop into a young man. Tammiethough suffered from severe asthma and a non-relatedskin disease and she passed when Meachem was just inseventh grade.Meachem and his wife, Shea, have two daughters, Adriannaand Ryli, and they played a major role in his decisionto come to San Diego. The Meachems have been veryactive in the community, hosting Christmas toy drives inNew Orleans while also running the Follow Your DreamsFoundation, whose mission is to help youth get involved incommunity activities and to help provide them withavenues to participate in sports, music lessons and culturalactivities. In association with the Foundation, Meachemawards college scholarships and he hosts a football campin Tulsa that is only open to kids who participate in his Read60 Program, a literacy program that encourages youngpeople ages 8-18 to take 60 minutes each day to read.One of Meachem’s distant cousins is former <strong>Chargers</strong>wide receiver and kick returner, Eric Metcalf.VETERANS &RETURNING PLAYERSTRANSACTION 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,<strong>2012</strong>...signed with <strong>Chargers</strong>, March 15.2011: Team-high 119 yards, including season-long 67-yardtouchdown catch, Dec. 4 vs. Detroit...set postseason careerhighs with four catches and 111 yards, including 56-yardscoring catch in Wild Card Playoffs vs. Detroit. 2010: Tiedcareer high with two touchdown catches Nov. 21 vs. Seattle...helpedset up game-winning touchdown in Nov. 25Thanksgiving game at Dallas with season-long 55-yard catchlate in fourth quarter...first 100-yard game of season Dec. 5at Cincinnati included 55-yard touchdown catch and 42-yarder during fourth-quarter game-winning touchdown drive...career-high 10 catches for 101 yards Dec. 27 at Atlanta.2009: Led Saints with career-high 10 touchdowns...careerlong41-yard run and 27-yard scoring catch Nov. 15 at St.Louis...first-career two-TD game Nov. 22 at Tampa Bay...latein second quarter Dec. 6 at Washington, stripped ball fromsafety Kareem Moore after interception, recovered ball in midair and returned it 44 yards for touchdown that tied game at17-17...finished Redskins game with eight catches for careerhigh142 yards, including 53-yard touchdown catch that tiedgame with just over minute remaining in fourth quarter...Saints won game, 33-30, in overtime...set up game-winningfield goal with 12-yard catch to Minnesota 22 in Jan. 24 NFCChampionship Game. 2008: First-career NFL catch was goodfor 19-yard touchdown Sept. 14 at Washington...career-long74-yard catch Sept. 21 at Denver...two catches Sept. 28 atSan Francisco, one good for 52 yards and other for 47-yardtouchdown...first-career rushing touchdown on 20-yardreverse Dec. 21 at Detroit. 2007: Inactive for all 16 games.COLLEGE: Sporting News and Football Writers Associationfirst-team All-America and All-SEC as junior in 2006 afterschool-record 1,298 yards and 11 touchdowns...finishedcareer with 125 catches for 2,140 yards and 17 touchdowns...sixthplayer in school history with more than 2,000yards receiving and left school ranked fifth in scoring catches...redshirtedin 2003...played at Tennessee from 2004-06...communications major.PERSONAL: Born in Tulsa, Okla....all-state receiver at BookerT.

9 NICK NOVAKKicker Free Agent - ’116-0, 198 Maryland5th NFL SeasonAlbemarle HS3rd with <strong>Chargers</strong>Charlottesville, Va.VETERANS &RETURNING PLAYERSThe trials and tribulations of Nick Novak’s NFL career arethe kind that would discourage most, but Novak has anintense desire to succeed and he became a shining star forthe <strong>Chargers</strong> in 2011.Novak went to training camp with the <strong>Chargers</strong> in 2010,knowing chances were slim of taking the team’s kicking jobfrom Pro Bowler Nate Kaeding. The <strong>Chargers</strong> were the sixthteam Novak had spent time with after brief stints in Chicago,Dallas, Washington, Arizona and Kansas City. After he wasreleased in 2010, Novak caught on with the Florida Tuskers ofthe fledgling UFL, for whom he was named the league’s SpecialTeams MVP after hitting 15 of 18 field goals. But duringthat same season when Kaeding suffered a groin injury, the<strong>Chargers</strong> attempted to sign Novak but the UFL’s rules andstipulations prevented the <strong>Chargers</strong> from doing so. When the2011 season came around, a seventh team - the New YorkJets - sought out Novak’s services, but once again he lost ahotly-contested competition, this time with veteran Nick Folk.Disappointed, Novak returned to San Diego to live andtrain. He happened to be having lunch with former NFLkicker Michael Husted the day of the <strong>Chargers</strong>’ 2011 seasonopener against Minnesota when Kaeding injured hisknee on the game’s opening kickoff. Just days later, Novakgot the call he long waited for that the <strong>Chargers</strong> wanted tosign him as the team’s replacement for Kaeding.Novak went on to enjoy a storybook season for the<strong>Chargers</strong>. A career 63.3-percent field goal kicker prior to2011, Novak made his first 12 field goals for the Bolts,including two in a three-point win over Kansas City, four ina 10-point win over Miami and five in a five-point win atDenver that included a then career-long 51-yarder and aclutch 35 yarder with just 24 seconds left in the fourthquarter. Novak finished the season having made 27 of 34,while setting team records for field goals of 40 (12) and 50(4) yards or longer. After his successful run in 2011, Novakwill be back to compete again with Kaeding in <strong>2012</strong>.Novak helped raise more than $7,500 for the AmericanCancer Society in 2011. He contributed$100 for every made field goal and thetotal was matched by both the <strong>Chargers</strong>and Novak’s agent. Novak was inspiredto help the ACS in memory of Annie Arth, a family friendwho died of ovarian and breast cancer in 2005.Novak was born in San Diego, which makes his storyeven more fascinating. He lived here until he was 13, whenhis parents relocated to work at the University of Virginia.One of Novak’s close friends growing up was KellenWinslow, Jr., son of the <strong>Chargers</strong>’ Hall of Fame tight end bythe same name. The two also share the same godmother.Novak went to the University of Maryland after a stellarhigh school football and soccer career in Virginia. He was ascholar-athlete for the Terrapins and twice beat Philip Riversand North Carolina State with late fourth-quarter kicks.This offseason, Novak participated in the NFL BusinessManagement and Entrepreneurial Program at the HarvardBusiness School. He also vacationed in Bora Bora.TRANSACTION HISTORY: Signed with Chicago, April 29,2005...waived Aug. 29...claimed by Dallas, Aug. 30 and waivedSept. 3...signed with Washington, Sept. 13 and waived Nov.5...signed with Arizona, Dec. 2...re-signed with Cardinals, April 4,2006...waived Aug. 28...signed with Washington, Oct. 11...waived Dec. 4...re-signed with Chicago, Feb. 9, 2007...waivedAug. 27...signed with Kansas City, Jan. 11, 2008...waived Oct.21...signed with <strong>Chargers</strong>, April 29, 2010...waived Sept. 4...signed with New York Jets, Feb. 9, 2011... waived Aug. 30...signed two-year deal with <strong>Chargers</strong>, Sept. 13.2011: Career-high five field goals, including 51-yarder, in 29-24 win at Denver Oct. 9...touchbacks on seven of eight kickoffsvs. Broncos...52-yarder Nov. 6 vs. Green Bay...career-long53-yarder Nov. 27 vs. Denver...45-yard field goal Dec. 18 onNBC Sunday Night Football vs. Baltimore was team-record11th make from 40 yards or longer...51-yard field goal Jan. 1Regular Seasonat Oakland was team-record fifth of season from 50+ yards.2008: Season-high four field goals Sept. 28 vs. Denver. 2006:Season-long 47-yarder Nov. 5 vs. Dallas. 2005: Game-winning39-yard field goal for Washington vs. Seattle Oct. 2.COLLEGE: Jim Tatum Award as top ACC senior student-athlete...honorablemention All-ACC in 2004...ACC all-time leaderand fifth in NCAA (393 career points) at graduation...firstteamAll-ACC in ’03 and ’02...school-record 125 points assoph...finished career 80 of 107 on FGs and 153 of 159 onPATs...redshirted in 2000...played at Maryland from 2001-04...degree in kinesiology.PERSONAL: Two-time all-state kicker at Albemarle High inCharlottesville, Va....won soccer prep state championship onteams with twin brother, Chris.Special TeamsYear Team G-S FG-Att.

17 PHILIP RIVERSQuarterbackTrade (NY Giants)-’046-5, 228 North Carolina State9th NFL SeasonAthens HS9th with <strong>Chargers</strong>Athens, Ala.One of the greatest quarterbacks ever to don a San Diego<strong>Chargers</strong> uniform, Philip Rivers is the <strong>Chargers</strong>’ all-timeleader for career completion percentage (63.5%) and passerrating (95.5). He’s led the <strong>Chargers</strong> to four AFC West titles,is 66-37 (.641) as a starter (including playoffs), 26-10 in AFCWest games and 39-13 (.750) at Qualcomm Stadium.Rivers is coming off a milestone season and embarks on<strong>2012</strong> closing in on 25,000 career passing yards and 200career touchdown passes. He needs just 715 passing yardsto become the 63rd quarterback in NFL history to reach25,000. And with 163 career touchdown passes, he needs37 to reach 200, a mark reached by only 31 other signalcallersin league annals.In 2011, Rivers completed a team-record 366 passesand threw for 4,624 yards. He joined Dan Marino (1980-81), Warren Moon (1990-91), Peyton Manning (2009-10)and Drew Brees (2010-11) as the only players in NFL historywith back-to-back 4,500-yard passing seasons. And hejoined Manning (1999-04 and 2006-10) and Brees (2006-11) as the only quarterbacks with at least four-straight4,000-yard seasons.Demonstrating great peripheral vision and field awareness,four players had at least 50 catches for the <strong>Chargers</strong> in2011, something that had only been done two other timesin team history (1984 and ’05). Also in 2011, Rivers builtupon his reputation as one of the NFL’s best quarterbackslate in the season. He led the <strong>Chargers</strong> to a record of 3-1 inDecember and increased his career passer rating for themonth to 99.9, second all-time behind Green Bay’s AaronRodgers. Rivers’ December statistics include 6,323 yardspassing and a 3-to-1 touchdown to interception ratio (48touchdowns and 16 interceptions). Rivers also owns theNFL’s second-highest passer rating for Weeks 9-16 of theregular season (97.8). As a starter, he is 41-12 (.774) inregular-season games in November, December and January,including 26-3 in games in December and January.Rivers’ 2011 totals included 27 touchdown passes, makinghim just the sixth quarterback in NFL history with atleast 25 touchdown passes in four straight seasons. Hejoined an esteemed list that included Manning (1998-2010), Brett Favre (1994-98 & 2001-04), Marino (1984-88), Brees (2006-11) and Rodgers (2008-11).While Rivers ranked in the top-10 in virtually every statisticalcategory in 2011, he threw a career-high 20 interceptions,uncharacteristic for a player who had thrown a combined57 in his previous five seasons. A majority of the pickswere thrown early in the season. As a testament to hisresiliency, Rivers bounced back later in the year to assemblea career-long string of 170 passes without an interception,easily surpassing his previous career-best of 143.When the season concluded, Rivers was appointed tohis fourth-career and third-consecutive AFC Pro Bowlsquad and he was selected by teammates as the <strong>Chargers</strong>’Most Valuable Player for a fourth-consecutive season.Only the late Junior Seau (five) has been selected teamMVP consecutively in more years than Rivers.Off the field, Rivers was recognized asone of three finalists for the prestigiousWalter Payton NFL Man of the YearAward for his work with the Rivers ofHope Foundation. Rivers and wife, Tiffany, launched theFoundation in 2010 and focused on helping unwanted,abandoned and orphaned children find permanent lovinghomes. The Foundation has raised more than $650,000through football camps and a 5K Fun Run, and Rivers personallycontributes 100 percent of his off-the-field revenueto the Foundation. Additionally, Rivers and teammateQuentin Jammer partnered to help fund a football stadiumfor San Pasqual Academy, a first-in-the-nation residentialeducation campus designed specifically for foster teens.Rivers originally came to the <strong>Chargers</strong> in 2004 in ablockbuster trade with the New York Giants. Less than anhour after the Bolts selected Eli Manning with the No. 1pick in the ’04 NFL Draft, Manning was on his way to theBig Apple in exchange for Rivers and a slew of draft picks.Rivers spent the majority of his first two years on the sidelinesbehind Brees, taking the reigns in 2006. That ’06 seasonwas memorable as Rivers was voted to the Pro Bowlafter leading the <strong>Chargers</strong> to a team-record 14 wins,including 10-straight to close out the season. The <strong>Chargers</strong>also finished undefeated at home for the first time in teamhistory. The ’06 squad scored a team-record 492 pointsand Rivers achieved some notable marks along the way. Hebecame the first NFL quarterback to rally a team from 17-point deficits in consecutive weeks, doing so on the road inCincinnati and Denver. During the two wins, Rivers was inthe midst of a streak of 19-straight scoring drives thatended in touchdowns without settling for a field goal. Thattoo was a team record and it was the fifth-longest streakin NFL history. Rivers finished the year as the NFL leader inpasser rating during the fourth quarter (116.6) and thethird and fourth quarters combined (99.3).In 2007, Rivers led the <strong>Chargers</strong> to the AFC ChampionshipGame. Including playoffs, the team put together aneight-game winning streak down the stretch during whichRivers completed 133 of 214 (62.1%) for 1,656 yards with14 touchdowns and only five interceptions for a rating of98.2, nearly 16 points higher than his cumulative seasonrating (82.4). Rivers’ toughness, both mental and physical,was put on full display in the final weeks of the regularseason and the playoffs. In a December victory at Tennessee,he had to leave the game after spraining his kneein the first half, but he returned in the second half and ledthe <strong>Chargers</strong> to a come-from-behind victory in overtime.He continued to play and fought through the final monthof the season in severe pain. Then a different knee injurysent him to the sideline in the Bolts’ Divisional Playoffgame in Indianapolis. After backup Billy Volek led the<strong>Chargers</strong> to an improbable win over the Colts, Rivers hadarthroscopic surgery to repair a torn ACL on Monday andjust six days later he started and took every snap on a frigidday in the AFC Championship Game at New England.VETERANS &RETURNING PLAYERSMEDIA GUIDE | 95Continued next page


VETERANS &RETURNING PLAYERSPhilip Rivers, continuedIn 2008, Rivers topped Fouts’ team record for single-seasontouchdown passes and recorded his first 4,000-yardseason. He set a team record and led the league with a seasonrating of 105.5, joining Brees as the only <strong>Chargers</strong> QBsto finish a season with a rating over 100.0. Cool under pressure,Rivers was the NFL’s second-leading passer on thirddowns (110.7) and in the fourth quarter (111.7). He threwan NFL-best 15 touchdown passes on third down and ledthe <strong>Chargers</strong> to an NFL-high 152 points in the fourth quarter.He logged six 300-yard games in ’08, the most sinceFouts had seven in 1985. Rivers even did it in back-to-backgames, something not done by a <strong>Chargers</strong> quarterbacksince 1991. And he capped off 2008 with a sensationalDecember, leading the <strong>Chargers</strong> to the playoffs. He went 4-0 to improve his career record in December to 14-0 andcompleted 80-of-121 (66.1%) for 1,054 yards with 11touchdowns and just one interception. His passer rating forthe month, a lofty 120.3, was second in the NFL.The 2009 season saw Rivers selected to the <strong>Chargers</strong>’50th Anniversary All-Time Team. He threw 28 touchdownpasses and posted a passer rating of 104.4. He was one ofjust five NFL QBs in ’09 to pass for more than 4,000 yards,throw 25 or more touchdowns and record a season passerrating of 100.0-plus. Rivers’ passer rating was the NFL’sthird-highest in ’09, and four times — tied with Brett Favrefor most in the NFL — he posted a single-game passer ratingof 130.0 or better. Rivers also had four games in 2008where he rated 130.0 or better and is the only quarterbackin team history to post four such games in a season. Duringthe team’s 11-game win streak to close out the regular season,Rivers completed 69.0% of his passes (209 of 303) for2,735 yards and a rating of 112.0 while throwing 21 touchdownpasses and only six interceptions. His passer ratingduring those 11 weeks was the highest in the NFL.In 2010, Rivers threw for a career-high and NFL-leading4,710 yards. It was the 10th-most yards for a single seasonin NFL history and third-most in team history. Alongthe way, Rivers set a new career high with six 300-yardgames, including a team-record 455 in Seattle. The 4,000-yard season was Rivers’ third-straight, tying Fouts for themost in team history. By the midpoint of the ’10 season,Rivers had managed to throw for 2,649 yards, an NFLrecord for the first eight games of a season, breaking yetanother mark which Fouts (2,580 in 1982) had previouslyset. During the season, Rivers completed an NFL-leading66 passes of at least 20 yards and 12 of those went fortouchdowns, second-most in the NFL. Rivers ranked secondin the NFL in passer rating in ’10 (101.8). He was theonly quarterback in the league to post a season passer ratingover 100 each of the 2008-10 seasons and he joinedSteve Young and Peyton Manning as the only passers everto post a rating of 100.0-or-higher for three straight years.Rivers’ outstanding rating was aided by a a completionrecord of 66.0% that set a team single-season record.Rivers found the end zone with regularity in ’10, tossing 30touchdown passes to become the first quarterback in teamhistory with 25 or more in three-straight seasons. It includeda team-record stretch of 23 straight games with atouchdown pass, surpassing the previous mark of 20-straight set by Fouts in 1979-80. Amidst that streak was apair of four-TD efforts in consecutive games at Houstonand against Denver, equaling a feat that only Fouts (1985)and Drew Brees (2004) accomplished for the <strong>Chargers</strong>.Eleven different players caught touchdown passes fromRivers in 2010, most in team history for a non-strike season.Rivers grew up in Decatur, Alabama. His dad, Steve, a formerlinebacker at Mississippi State, was the head footballcoach at Decatur High School and Philip was a water boy forthe team. Shortly before Philip was set to enroll at Decatur,Steve took the head coaching job at nearby Athens HS andPhilip followed. He played linebacker as a sophomore andmoved to quarterback as a junior. Since his first seasonunder center at Athens, Philip has never had a losing record,going 11-2 (1998) and 10-3 (1999) at Athens; 8-4 (2000),7-5 (2001), 11-3 (2002) and 8-5 (2003) at North CarolinaState, and 14-2 (2006), 11-5 (2007), 8-8 (2008), 13-3(2009), 9-7 (2010) and 8-8 (2011) with the <strong>Chargers</strong>.

11 EDDIE ROYALWide Receiver-Kick Returner UFA (Denver) - ’125-10, 185 Virginia Tech5th NFL SeasonWestfield HS1st with <strong>Chargers</strong>Chantilly, Va.VETERANS &RETURNING PLAYERSThe <strong>Chargers</strong> landed one of the NFL’s top free agentoffensive and special teams threats when they signed formerDenver Bronco Eddie Royal to a three-year contract inMarch. The <strong>Chargers</strong> had stiff competition for the Chantilly,Virginia native as his hometown Washington Redskinswere also in hot pursuit of the former Bronco.<strong>Chargers</strong> fans will remember Royal’s exploits during anationally-televised ESPN Monday Night Football game in2009 when he returned a kickoff and a punt for touchdownsin the first half of a 34-23 Broncos’ win. In total,Royal has returned three punts and kickoffs for touchdownsand he’s one of only four players (former ChargerDarren Sproles, Minnesota’s Percy Harvin and Chicago’sDevin Hester) in the NFL to total at least 2,000 yards fromscrimmage and 2,000 returns yards since 2008.Compactly built at 5-10 and 185 pounds, Royal openedeyes at the NFL Combine in 2008 when he bench-pressed225 pounds 24 times, most among all receivers at theCombine. The Broncos made him a second round pick thatyear and he immediately let his presence be felt, racking upnine catches for 146 yards and a touchdown in his NFLdebut against the Oakland Raiders. When the ’08 seasonconcluded, Royal earned All-Rookie honors from both ProFootball Weekly and the Professional Football Writers ofAmerica, as well as by The Sporting News after a season inwhich he posted the second-most catches by an NFL rookie,totaling 91 catches for 980 yards and five touchdowns.Royal also set Broncos rookie records in all three cate-gories, he led all NFL rookies in those categories, and hebecame the league’s first player since the NFL merger in1970 to record his team’s longest run, reception, kickoffreturn and punt return in the same season.Royal’s career achievements are all the more remarkableconsidering that he suffered from asthma as a child. Royalwas the youngest of Pearl Royal’s seven children and threeof his siblings also suffered from it. Fortunately, the MedicalCare for Children Partnership (MCCP) in Fairfax, Virginiaprovided the needed medical resourcesand all four of the kids received thetreatment that they needed. Severalyears ago when Royal signed an endorsementdeal with a t-shirt company called Gameday Passion,part of the agreement was that a portion of the proceedswould support MCCP.Royal’s sister, Capt. Christina Royal, is a graduate of theVirginia Tech Corps of Cadets and she is currently a specialagent in the United States Air Force’s Office of SpecialInvestigations. Christina was the first-ever female regimentalcommander and the first-ever African-American regimentalcommander for the Corps of Cadets, where shewas in charge of all the cadets at the school. Royal’s brother,Chris, played defensive back at Marshall University from2002-05 and he later played in the Arena Football and AF2Leagues. In 2007, Chris was the 2007 Spalding Rookie ofthe Year for the Wilkes-Barre/Scranton Pioneers of AF2.Currently, he is a graduate assistant coach at Marshall.TRANSACTION HISTORY: Second-round pick (42) by Denver,April 26, 2008...signed with Broncos July 24...contractexpired March 13, <strong>2012</strong>...signed three-year deal with <strong>Chargers</strong>,March 16.2011: Injured groin Sept. 18 vs. Cincinnati and inactive nextthree games...caught 26-yard touchdown pass and returnedpunt career-long 85 yards for touchdown in 50th careergame, 38-24 win at Oakland Nov. 6...became second Broncoto return punt and catch pass for touchdown in samegame...caught 30-yard touchdown pass in first-career playoffgame Jan. 8 vs. Pittsburgh. 2010: Ranked sixth in NFLwith 11.9-yard punt return average...top all-around performancewith eight catches for season-high 113 yards andtouchdown Oct. 3 at Tennessee...included season-long 41-yard catch vs. Titans. 2009: Set Denver record for receptionsthrough player’s first two years (128) while totaling secondmostreceiving yards (1,325) during span...10 catches Oct. 11vs. New England to tie as third-fastest player in NFL historyto reach 100 career receptions...AFC Special Teams Playerof 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 fifth longest inBroncos’ history. 2008: All-Rookie pick by Pro FootballWeekly/PFWA and The Sporting News...ranked sixth inNFL with 1,829 combined yards, most among all rookies in’08 and third-highest tally by rookie in Denver annals...seventhin league in kickoff return average (26.1 yds.)...totaledMEDIA GUIDE | 102five plays of at least 50 yards...posted team’s longest puntreturn of season (36 yards) Sept. 28 at Kansas City to goalong with longest kickoff return of season (95 yards) Nov. 2vs. Miami, longest catch of season (93-yard touchdown) Nov.6 at Cleveland and longest run of season (71 yards) Dec. 21vs. Buffalo...95-yard kickoff return vs. Dolphins tied for thirdlongestin team history...Diet Pepsi NFL Rookie of Weekafter nine catches for 146 yards and touchdown in Sept. 8NFL debut at Oakland...was sixth-most receiving yards byplayer in debut game since 1960...caught game-winning twopointconversion following four-yard touchdown catch with24 seconds left in game Sept. 14 vs. <strong>Chargers</strong>...inactive Oct.12 vs. Jacksonville (ankle)...Diet Pepsi NFL Rookie of Weekafter 164-yard effort at Cleveland Nov. 6, including 93-yardTD catch...added 74 return yards for 238 total yards fromscrimmage vs. Browns...set Broncos rookie record with 11catches in Dec. 28 season finale at San Diego.COLLEGE: First-team All-ACC as senior...second-team All-ACC and Sports Illustrated honorable mention All-America asjunior...school-record 4,686 all-purpose yards (1,778 receiving,1,386 kickoff returns, 1,296 punt returns, 226 rushing)...puntreturn total was also ACC record...left schoolranked fourth in receptions (119), fifth in receiving touchdowns(12) and sixth in receiving yards (1,778)...scored 16career touchdowns: 12 on catches, three on returns and onerushing...also threw TD pass...played in 51 career games with44 starts...played at Virginia Tech from 2004-07...degree insociology.

5 MIKE SCIFRESPunter Draft 5 - ’036-2, 221 Western Illinois10th NFL SeasonDestrehan HS10th with <strong>Chargers</strong>Destrehan, La.Mike Scifres (SIGH-fres) had quite a year in 2011. Justdays before the regular season opener, the <strong>Chargers</strong> signedhim to a five-year contract extension that will keep him asthe team’s punter through the 2016 season. When Scifresput pen to paper though, little did he realize that within afew days, he’d not only be called upon to handle punts, butalso kickoffs, field goals and point after tries after NateKaeding suffered a season-ending knee injury on the openingkickoff of the season against Minnesota. Scifres, theteam’s backup kicker, coolly responded by nailing a gametying40-yard field goal early in the fourth quarter, en routeto a 24-17 victory over the Vikings. It was his first madefield goal in a live game since his sophomore season atWestern Illinois when he kicked a 56-yard game-winner inovertime against Northern Iowa for a conference title.Beyond his heroics in Week 1, Scifres posted some eyepoppingnumbers in 2011. He averaged a career-high 47.5yards per punt and fell just three attempts shy of qualifyingfor the team’s single-season record (min. 50). Scifrespunted 47 times in ’11 and finished the year ranked sixthin the NFL in gross punting average. He had only twotouchbacks in 2011, tying his career low.The franchise’s leader for career punting average (44.8),Scifres is a member of the <strong>Chargers</strong>’ 50th Anniversary All-Time Team and a six-time Pro Bowl alternate (2004-09).As he enters the <strong>2012</strong> season, Scifres is only eight puntsshy of 500 for his career. Only 86 players in NFL historyhave punted more than 500 times. A look at what Scifreshas done with his first 492 punts shows some incrediblestatistics. Only 204 of his punts have been returned andamong the group with more than 500 career punts (since1970), the fewest number of returns a punter has allowedis 207 by Ken Walter, who punted for Carolina, New Englandand Seattle from 1997-06. Similarly, Scifres’ 45career touchbacks would be the fifth-fewest among puntersfor whom complete career data is available, showingjust how valuable a weapon he has been for the <strong>Chargers</strong>.Scifres credits his career success to a workout regimenthat includes weightlifting and Pilates.It was almost a fluke that Scifres ended up with the<strong>Chargers</strong>. It happened on a recommendation from KyleSmith, the son of <strong>Chargers</strong> General Manager A.J. Smith. Asa freshman at Youngstown State, Smith had returnedpunts against Scifres, who played for Missouri Valley Conferencefoe, Western Illinois. Less than a year after fieldingthe call from Kyle, and despite having Pro Bowl punter Dar-ren Bennett on the roster, Smith drafted Scifres in the fifthround in 2003.Scifres cemented his resume as one of the NFL’s toppunters during an outstanding 2008 season when he set ateam record and ranked third in the league with a 40.9-yardnet punting average. He allowed zero or negative puntreturn yards in seven games. He had only five touchbacks in51 punts (9.8%) for the entire season and landed 19 thoseof 51 attempts inside the 20. Among players with 40-ormorepunts, only two others allowed fewer than Scifres’146 return yards, and only five teams had more than 15punt return yards against the <strong>Chargers</strong> all season.Scifres’ outstanding season carried into the playoffswhere he enjoyed a record-breaking night in the <strong>Chargers</strong>’AFC Wild Card Playoff win over the Indianapolis Colts. Helanded all six of his punts inside the 20, the highest numberand percentage of punts ever landed inside the 20 during aplayoff game. He also averaged a playoff-record 51.7 netyards per punt as the Colts managed just six punt returnyards for the game. The Colts were forced to start drives attheir own 10, 19, 3, 7, 9 and 1-yard lines following punts.Scifres’ last punt may have been his best, a kick that rolledout of bounds at the 1-yard line, setting the stage for the<strong>Chargers</strong>’ late fourth-quarter comeback.Scifres also experienced postseason success againstIndianapolis in 2007 when he helped send the <strong>Chargers</strong> tothe AFC Championship Game with a dominating performancein the Divisional Playoffs at the RCA Dome. Scifresset a team postseason record by averaging 59.0 yards perpunt. He saved his best for last again, hitting a postseasonteam-record 66-yarder with the Bolts backed up at theirown 14-yard line and only 1:42 left in the fourth quarter.Kicking from his own goal line, the Colts fielded Scifres’punt at their own 20. That punt lit a fire on the <strong>Chargers</strong>’sideline and the defense ended the Colts’ season on downsfour plays later, sending the <strong>Chargers</strong> on to the title game.Scifres went to high school in Destrehan, La. One of hisprep teammates was Baltimore Ravens safety Ed Reed,who funny enough was the team’s punter at the time.Because of Reed’s strong leg, Scifres was initially relegatedto kickoffs, field goals and extra points. Few would’veguessed that Scifres would turn out to be such a specialplayer. Scifres and Reed have remained friends.Mike and his wife, Stacie, are parents to twin daughtersBerkeley and Bristyn.VETERANS &RETURNING PLAYERSTRANSACTION HISTORY: Fifth-round pick (149), April 27,2003…signed, July 19…signed four-year contract extensionthrough 2011, Nov. 3, 2005...signed five-year contract extensionthrough 2016, Sept. 7, 2011.2011: Game Ball after taking over for injured Nate Kaedingand scoring first-career NFL points, including game-tying 40-yard field goal with 10:05 remaining in fourth quarter to tiegame at 17-17...last made field goal in live game had been56-yard game-winner with time expiring to give Western Illinois44-41 win over Northern Iowa in 2000 for conferencetitle...also made all three point-after tries vs. Vikings and hadtwo touchbacks on kickoffs...first touchback of season Nov.10 vs. Oakland, ending string of 23-straight punts to startseason without one...punt that ended string was 71-yarder,tying career long...Dec. 11 vs. Buffalo, helped <strong>Chargers</strong> hold16-0 lead at half by knocking consecutive punts out ofbounds at Bills’ 12 and five-yard lines late in second quarter.2010: Punt block in second quarter Sept. 19 vs. Jacksonville...two punts blocked Oct. 10 at Oakland, one for safety andContinued next pageMEDIA GUIDE | 105

51 TAKEO SPIKESInside Linebacker UFA (San Francisco) - ’116-2, 242 Auburn15th NFL SeasonWashington County HS2nd with <strong>Chargers</strong>Sandersville, Ga.VETERANS &RETURNING PLAYERSIt didn’t take long for veteran inside linebacker TakeoSpikes to make an impression in San Diego. Immediatelyupon arrival after signing a three-year contract in late-July2011, Spikes set out to get to know everything and everyonehe could inside the <strong>Chargers</strong>’ organization. At the startof training camp, he made a point of sharing meals withdifferent groups of teammates so he could learn abouteach of them and what made them tick. He struck up animmediate kinship with the team’s offensive leader, quarterbackPhilip Rivers. And just weeks later before the seasoneven started, teammates knew Spikes was a specialindividual and voted him a team captain.Spikes paced his new team with 119 tackles, his 11thcareer100-tackle season, and he mentored fellow insidelinebacker Donald Butler, who was basically a rookie aftermissing his entire rookie season with an Achilles injury.Spikes’ experience resonated on Butler who ended upranking second behind Spikes in tackles with 102. At theend of the year, teammates voted another honor forSpikes, this time selecting him as the team’s Most InspirationalPlayer.Over a 14-year NFL career that has seen him play inCincinnati, Buffalo, Philadelphia, San Francisco and nowSan Diego, Spikes has become one of the NFL’s most popularplayers. He’s an 11-time team captain and is followedby more than 390,000 fans on Twitter. With an eye towardbroadcasting, Spikes has a lengthy background in media. InJanuary, he spent a week doing interviews on various platformsat the ESPN studios in Bristol, Conn. and in February,he was one of the most sought-out athletes to make therounds of media row at Super Bowl XLVI. While playing inSan Francisco from 2008-10, Spikes hosted his own BayArea television show, “TKO TV,” on Comcast SportsNet.There aren’t a lot of players still playing in their 15th season,as Spikes will do in <strong>2012</strong>. Typically that type of tenureis limited to kickers, punters and quarterbacks, not linebackers.In 2011 Spikes played in his 200th career game,becoming just the 13th linebacker and 98th non-kicker toreach the milestone. His first start in <strong>2012</strong> mark the 200thof his career. And as further testament to his durability, atthe end of the ’11 season, Spikes was only one of eightplayers taken in the first three rounds of the 1998 NFLDraft to still be on an active roster.Spikes isn’t your typical linebacker though and he hasdevised unique training and conditioning methods thathave allowed him to play the game as long as he has. Oneof which is a hyperbaric chamber in which he often sleepsin his homes in San Diego and Atlanta, breathing pressurizedpure oxygen while asleep. It’s a technique athletes useto promote the recovery and healing of damaged tissue.A native of tiny Sandersville, Ga., Spikes learned abouthard work from those who were closest to him. He grewup about two hours from Atlanta where his mom, Lillie,was a special education teacher at the local high schooland his father, Jimmie, spent 30-plus years working in thechalk mines after working in the south’s infamous plantationfields as a youngster. Takeo spent several teenagesummers working alongside Jimmie in the mines wherefather tried to teach son that there was a better life outthere for him. The lessons paid large dividends. Jimmie wasable to see his son’s dream of a professional football careercome true before he passed in 2001.Spikes is still revered in Sandersville. His number isretired at Washington County High School and pictures ofSpikes are strewn throughout the school’s athletic facilities.Over the years, he’s helped the school financially onnumerous occasions and in June <strong>2012</strong> he hosted a freefootball camp at Washington County High for the 11thconsecutiveyear.Spikes’ reputation as a leader extends beyond the lockerroom and the playing field. In 2007, NFL CommissionerRoger Goodell and the NFL Players Association appointedSpikes to the first-ever Player Advisory Council, a six-mancommittee established to advise Goodell on a wide range ofplayer issues.In 2003, Spikes and former NFL linebacker CarlosEmmons launched 51 Ways, Inc. (www.TakeoSpikes51.com),a non-profit foundation that provides financial, spiritual andphysical resources to families that have children with canceror blood disorders. Both players grew up in Georgia and lostfamily members to cancer.Spikes enjoys playing golf in his free time. Teammatesoften refer to him as “TKO” or “Spikedog,” but his parentsnamed him “Takeo” after Japanese Prime Minister TakeoMiki, who served from 1974-76. Takeo means “great warrior”in Japanese. And in keeping with the family tradition,Spikes named his daughter, Jakai, another Japanese wordthat means “beautiful flower.”Spikes’ cousin, Brandon (Spikes), is a starting linebackerfor the defending AFC Champion New England Patriots.In March, Spikes, along with Carolinapunter Jason Baker, formerNFL linebacker Dhani Jones,Cleveland center Alex Mack andHouston tackle Eric Winston tookpart in a NFL-USO Tour and visitedseveral military bases in the MiddleEast.

87 MICHEAL SPURLOCKWide Receiver-Kick Returner UFA (Tampa Bay) - ’125-11, 210 Mississippi5th NFL SeasonGentry HS1st with <strong>Chargers</strong>Gentry, Miss.VETERANS &RETURNING PLAYERSThe <strong>Chargers</strong> were aggressive this offseason in their searchfor wide receivers and kick returners and their search landedformer Tampa Bay Buccaneer Micheal Spurlock.In 2007, Spurlock became a hero in Tampa Bay when heended 32 years of futility by scoring the franchise’s firstevertouchdown on a kickoff return.Spurlock owns a career 25.1-yard kickoff return averageand he’s combined to post three returns for scores: twokickoffs and a punt.Spurlock hails from Indianola, Miss., thesame hometown as legendary blues guitaristB.B. King. As a high schooler, he set a staterecord when he scored all 71 of his team’spoints in a game, throwing nine touchdownpasses, scoring two more TDs on the groundand kicking every one of his team’s extra points. An outstandingprep career led to a scholarship from the University ofMississippi where he was recruited by Rich Bisaccia, who latercoached Spurlock in Tampa Bay and is now the AssistantHead Coach-Special Teams for the <strong>Chargers</strong>. Spurlock had thedubious distinction of following two-time Super Bowl-winningquarterback Eli Manning at Ole Miss.Spurlock and his wife, Danielle, have four daughters,E’Landria, Griselle, Macie and Payton. Having lived throughsome of the cruelties of life in the NFL, Spurlock was cutby Arizona in 2007 while his wife was eight-and-a-halfmonths pregnant and shortly after the couple had purchaseda home. He then signed with Tampa Bay, but onthe day he called to inform the Buccaneers that his wifewas set to deliver and he needed to return to Arizona, theyalso told him he was about to be released. Thankfully Spurlockre-signed shortly thereafter and remained with TampaBay for the better part of the next five seasons.Spurlock enjoys collecting movies. He started in collegeand his collection now includes several hundred titles. Sundaysare movie day in the Spurlock’s home as they gatherto watch movies after attending church.TRANSACTION HISTORY: Signed with Arizona as undraftedrookie, May 5, 2006...waived Sept. 2...re-signed to Cardinals’practice squad, Sept. 4...signed to Cardinals’ active roster,Dec. 29...waived Sept. 1, 2007...signed to Tampa Bay’s practicesquad, Sept. 4...waived Sept. 18 and re-signed to practicesquad, Sept. 25...signed to active roster, Nov. 1...waived Aug.30, 2008...re-signed to Tampa’s practice squad, Sept. 1...contractexpired Jan. 5, 2009...signed with San Francisco, Feb. 9...waived Nov. 3...re-signed with Tampa Bay, Dec. 22...re-signedwith Buccaneers, July 30, 2011...contract expired March 13,<strong>2012</strong>...signed one-year contract with <strong>Chargers</strong>, April 5, <strong>2012</strong>.2011: Saw limited action as wide receiver and returnman...inactive Games 9-12. 2010: First-career touchdowncatch was 33-yard game-winner in Sept. 12 season-opener vs.Cleveland...first NFL start Sept. 19 at Carolina...21-yard catchwith five seconds remaining Oct. 10 at Cincinnati set up gamewinningfield goal...career-high 60 yards receiving Oct. 31 atArizona...Nov. 7 at Atlanta became first Buccaneer with two60+ yard kickoff returns in same game with 66 yarder followedby 89 yarder for touchdown, which was fourth-longest in teamannals...also had career-long 43-yard catch vs. Falcons...set upfield goal with 79-yard kickoff return against Seattle Dec. 26and week later set up another FG with 69-yard return at NewOrleans (Jan. 2). 2009: Spent season between Tampa Bay andSan Francisco...NFC Special Teams Player of Week afterreturning punt 77 yards for touchdown in fourth quarter atNew Orleans Dec. 17 in first game back with Buccaneers...return tied game at 17-17 and Buccaneers won in overtime,20-17...returned five kickoffs in lone career playoff game Jan.6 vs. NY Giants. 2008: Spent entire season on Tampa Bay’spractice squad. 2007: First-ever kickoff return touchdown inTampa Bay’s history (90 yards) Dec. 16 vs. Atlanta. 2006: Spentfirst 15 weeks on Arizona’s practice squad and signed to activeroster for Dec. 31 season finale at San Diego, catching fourpasses and returning three punts for 18.0-yard average.COLLEGE: Played in 21 career games and completed 179 of345 (.519) for 2,168 yards with nine touchdowns and nineinterceptions...started final collegiate game at running backand scored two rushing touchdowns as senior...redshirted in2001...played at Ole Miss from 2002-05...criminal justicedegree with sociology minor.PERSONAL: Born in Indianola, Miss....set 5A state records atGentry (Miss.)

An uncle, Dexter, who helped raise him was accidentallyelectrocuted and died when Williams was just fouryears old. Despite the long odds, Williams thrived in Beckvilleand by high school, he had become a feared safety who hitanything that moved. Williams, however, was just 170pounds and major college recruiters considered him toosmall to play the position at the next level. He insteadenrolled at Cisco (Tex.) Junior College, but lasted there onlytwo weeks when homesickness led him back to Beckville. Aclose friend helped him find a job back home, where heworked 12-hour days in the town’s oil fields. It was backbreakingwork. That same friend, Jay Hightower, convincedWilliams that he should give football one more try.This time, Williams enrolled at Kilgore (Tex.) College andit was a perfect fit. As a linebacker, he led the Rangers intackles his first season and sacks his second en route toearning Junior College All-America honors. The NebraskaCornhuskers took notice of the budding star and as soonas they offered him a scholarship, Williams accepted. Hehad an outstanding career at Nebraska where he became afirst-team All-Big 12 pick and graduated with a degree insociology. In 2004, the Atlanta Falcons selected him in thefourth-round of the NFL Draft with the 101st overall pick.Fast-forward to <strong>2012</strong> and Williams is about to begin hisninth NFL season. He spent his first four years with theFalcons and his last four with the Kansas City Chiefs. Twicehe’s posted more than 100 tackles: 132 with the Falcons in2005 and 142 with the Chiefs in 2009. He’s also been abeast on special teams, racking up 54 career tackles, whilereturning a blocked field goal for a touchdown. Equally asimpressive, Williams has missed only four games in his NFLcareer. He had played in 123-straight games, includingplayoffs, before he was inactive for four games with theChiefs last season due to a groin injury, but he returnedand played in Kansas City’s final four games.Williams is still hailed as a star in Beckville and he hasreturned to his hometown for the last several years to hosta football camp at his former high school.

54 MELVIN INGRAMOutside Linebacker Draft 1 – ’126-2, 265 South CarolinaRookieRichmond County HSRockingham, N.C.The <strong>Chargers</strong>’ draft room was full of excitement whenSouth Carolina’s Melvin Ingram fell to the <strong>Chargers</strong> withthe 18th overall pick in the first round.A jack-of-all-trades at South Carolina, Ingram posted thefourth-most sacks in school history and the fifth-mosttackles for loss. A team captain and full-time starter as asenior, he helped the Gamecocks rank third in the nation intotal defense and 11th in scoring defense. Ingram returnedtwo fumbles for touchdowns, played special teams andscored a touchdown on a 68-yard run during a fake puntagainst Georgia in 2011. It all led toward him being namedjust the third consensus first-team All-America in SouthCarolina history and the first since 1984.Ingram was also part of a resurgence at South Carolinathat peaked when the Gamecocks won a school-record 11games in his final season, going 11-2, including a 30-13 winover Nebraska in the Capital One Bowl on New Year’s Day.Ingram’s athleticism and versatility led teammates tonickname him “Super Melvin” in high school. Ingram can doa standing back-flip, he can dunk a football over the crossbar,he can dunk a basketball with ease and he can throw afootball more than 70 yards.Ingram spent most of his life in a single-parent householdafter his father, George Melvin, died when he wasyoung.

28 BRANDON TAYLORStrong Safety Draft 3 – ’125-11, 210 Louisiana StateRookieFranklinton HSFranklinton, La.The <strong>Chargers</strong> knew Brandon Taylor was a special playerso it was no surprise when the team engineered a tradewith Miami to move up five spots in the third round toselect the former LSU Tiger with the 73rd overall pick ofthe <strong>2012</strong> NFL Draft.Taylor grew up in Franklinton, La., the second-youngestof Curtis and Annette Taylor’s nine children. He wasgroomed and toughened by two older brothers, Curtis andJhyryn, both of whom played for the Tigers. But Taylorcharted his own path in football, making a challengingswitch from cornerback to strong safety. His willingness tosacrifice for the team made him one of LSU’s most popularplayers. Before his senior season, head coach Les Milescalled Taylor into his office and informed the team captainthat he’d been chosen to wear the Tigers’ coveted No. 18jersey. In a tradition that was born in 2003, the LSU coachingstaff picks one player who exemplifies character andleadership to wear the No. 18 jersey each season. <strong>Chargers</strong>teammate Jacob Hester also was selected to wear No. 18during his career in Baton Rouge. Taylor wasn’t finishedthere. He also had another honor bestowed upon him byteammates as he was selected to stand in the rally circlebefore each game to fire up the team. Both gestures weretremendous honors for the Louisiana native.Brother, Curtis, played on LSU’s National Championshipteam in 2007 and was drafted by the San Francisco 49ersin 2008.

After trailing 7-0 and 10-7, <strong>Chargers</strong> ralliedand led 14-10 at half. In third quarter, Colts caught <strong>Chargers</strong> offguardwhile substituting defenders and made them pay with 72-yard TD pass from Peyton Manning to Reggie Wayne. SanDiego’s defense settled down though and did not allow Colts anymore points. key defensive stand late in fourth quarter, fueled by Tim Dobbins’ sack ofManning 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 Kaeding’s field goal from26 yards out tied game with 31 seconds left. San Diego won coin toss in overtime andRivers led offense on 11-play, 75-yard march that ended with 22-yard touchdown runby Sproles to win game in overtime. Sproles finished night with 328 all-purpose yards,third-most ever by player in NFL Playoff game.

Down7-0, Philip Rivers threw interception and Colts drove to <strong>Chargers</strong>’ 17-yard line, but Antonio Cromartie forced fumble by Marvin Harrisonto end threat. <strong>Chargers</strong> capitalized, tying game on touchdown passfrom Rivers to Vincent Jackson. Late in second quarter, Cromartiesnagged his second takeaway when slightly overthrown Peyton Manningpass went off Reggie Wayne’s fingertips. Cromartie returned interception 89 yards forwhat appeared to be go-ahead score, but holding call during return brought play back to midfieldand teams went to locker room with Indy up 10-7. <strong>Chargers</strong> scored on their openingpossession of second half and took their first lead at 14-10. Indianapolis then drove to <strong>Chargers</strong>’four, but rookie safety Eric Weddle interceped pass intended for Kenton Keith. On lastplay of third quarter, Rivers tossed his third touchdown pass of day, short screen that DarrenSproles took 56 yards to house, but euphoria of 21-17 lead was temporarily dampened asRivers left game with sprained right knee suffered on play.
