Chairman of the Board — President
The Chargers have become one of the NFL’s most
successful and respected franchises under the leadership of Chairman of the Board - President Dean
Spanos.
Spanos has provided the direction, resources and
environment to build and maintain consistent success.
As a result, the Chargers won 87 games during the
past eight seasons (2004-11), including five AFC West
titles (2004, 2006-09) and three playoff victories.
Only three teams won more games during that span.
Spanos became President of the Chargers early in
1994, the same year the team culminated its most
memorable season in team history with an appearance in Super Bowl XXIX.
Spanos’ leadership is felt throughout the National
Football League as well as all Spanos corporate entities. As a member of the Management Council Executive Committee (CEC), he played an integral role last
year in negotiating the NFL’s new labor agreement.
He serves as chairman of the NFL’s Business Ventures
Committee, which has oversight regarding various
league commercial activities, including consumer
products, sponsorship, events, marketing and new
business initiatives. He also serves on the League’s
International and Legislative Committees.
In addition, as president of the A.G. Spanos Companies, Dean and his brother, Michael, oversee all construction operations nationwide.
Spanos’ commitment to San Diego and the team is
undeniable. He has dedicated years of hard work and
millions of dollars to develop a plan to give San Diegans a modern Super Bowl-quality stadium and
secure a long-term home for their football team. The
reason for this bond: Dean, his wife Susie, and their
two sons, A.G. and John, proudly have called San
Diego home for more than 27 years.
Spanos’ efforts to build a special relationship
between the team and its fans have helped the
Chargers become one of San Diego’s most popular
and talked-about institutions. These efforts were
acknowledged in 2006 when the Chargers were
named the League’s most fan-friendly team by FansVoice.com. Nothing grabs the attention of San Diegans like the Chargers, whose games have become
the highlight of weekends during the season. Television ratings of games are unsurpassed while day-today news of the team dominates local talk shows and
newscasts.
TRADITION OF GIVING
Spanos has continued the long-standing tradition
of community service and support established by the
Spanos family and the Chargers. For Dean and Susie –
who just celebrated their 35th wedding anniversary,
this commitment comes from the heart.
This past offseason, Dean and his family as well as
the entire Chargers community were shaken by the
sudden passing of Chargers iconic linebacker Junior
Seau. Dean and his wife Susie hosted a “Celebration
of Life” for Seau. The event was seen and heard live
by more than 150,000 San Diegans, making it possible for a grieving community to come together, heal
and pay tribute to one of San Diego’s native sons.
The Spanos family is recognized as one of pro football’s most philanthropic families and one of Southern California’s most active and caring contributors.
Their financial and emotional support of youth sports
and education in San Diego is unmatched.
In 2010, the Association of Fundraising Professionals recognized Spanos and the Chargers as San
Diego’s Outstanding Philanthropic Corporation, one of
the most prestigious awards for community service.
“I’m fortunate to be in a position to help people and
organizations that need and deserve our support. My
family is proud to be a part of the San Diego community,” Spanos said.
The Chargers Community Foundation continues to be
a leader in assisting schools, honoring volunteers, supporting youth sports and aiding critical causes important to the community. The Foundation and the Spanos
family have provided more than $11 million to support a
wide range of services and resources for programs
directly affecting youth and families in the county.
The Foundation’s largest ongoing program, Chargers
Champions, was created in 1999 specifically to help
San Diego County’s schools and students. The program
has surpassed the $4.5 million mark in providing direct
assistance to local schools, teachers and students.
The focus of Chargers Champions is to improve the
fitness levels of students in the county. It provides
grants directly to San Diego County schools for fitness,
nutrition and athletic programs on area campuses.
Additional examples of Spanos’ largesse are too
many to count. In 2000 local student-athletes received
a giant boost when the Spanos family and Chargers
Community Foundation supplied the initial funding to
organize the first-ever freshman football and girls volleyball programs in the 16 San Diego City high schools.
This major public-private partnership created more
than 1,000 extracurricular opportunities for students.

Dean Spanos, continued
Youth football in San Diego has known no greater
champion than the Spanos family and the Chargers.
Their support of the California Interscholastic Federation’s (CIF) annual high school football championship
games allows the games to be played in Qualcomm
Stadium. The Alex Spanos All-Star Classic, the
longest-running high school all-star football game in
California, is another example of their support. This
devotion to youth football led the national Pop
Warner organization to name the Chargers its 2007
NFL Team of the Year.
In 2007, when wildfires ravaged San Diego County
for the second time in five years, Spanos jumped to
the forefront with a $1 million donation to aid affected families and the recovery effort. He made an identical $1 million contribution immediately following the
wildfires that hit the community in 2003.
Spanos also is a staunch supporter of San Diego’s
Police, Fire and Sheriff’s departments. Thanks to his
generosity, Critical Communications Centers have been
upgraded and mobile command units for the Police
department have been purchased. Spanos’ financial
support enabled local agencies to purchase wildfire
fighting gear as well as other fire-fighting equipment.
And in response to an increase in child abduction
cases, Spanos hosted and paid for critical law enforcement training classes for the Sheriff’s department.
Spanos continues to be a major force in San Diego’s
business and civic communities. He has been a top contributor to Rady Children’s Hospital, the San Diego
Blood Bank, the Huntington’s Disease Society of America, San Diego State University’s Campanile Foundation,
University of San Diego, STAR/PAL, the San Diego
Police Foundation, the San Diego Hall of Champions
and the San Diego High School Sports Association.
Dean and his father, Chargers Owner Alex Spanos,
secured Super Bowl XXXII (1998) for the City of San
Diego, a huge economic benefit for the community.
Super Bowl XXXVII in January 2003 brought more than
$300 million to the San Diego economy and marked the
second time in five years that the San Diego region
enjoyed the financial windfall of hosting a Super Bowl.
COMMUNITY HONORS
Community honors come frequently to Dean and
his wife, Susie.
Dean and Susie received the 2012 Herb Klein Spirit
of San Diego Award from the San Diego Regional
Chamber of Commerce at the organization’s annual
awards dinner. In 2011 the Salvation Army recognized
the Chargers’ dedication to helping San Diego’s homeless citizens during their annual Golden Bells ceremony. The award is given to local leaders for their efforts
to improve their community and shine a light on people in need. In 2010 the American Diabetes Association honored Spanos at its annual Fathers of the Year
Dinner. In 2007, the local Salvation Army named Dean
and Susie as their Most Valuable Philanthropists.
Spanos was honored in 2006 when President George
W. Bush appointed him as a Board of Trustees member
of the John F. Kennedy Center for the Performing Arts.
Also in 2006, he was the honored recipient of the
Golden Achievement Award from the Boys & Girls Clubs
of San Diego. In addition that year, Junior Achievement
of San Diego honored him for his community leadership and specifically for his support of youth education
initiatives by inducting him into its Hall of Fame.
The Warner Award, the top honor of the national
Pop Warner football organization, was bestowed on
him for his commitment to youth football and its Little
Scholars education initiative in 2005. The San Diego
Chapter of the National Football Foundation also presented Spanos with its highest honor, the Distinguished American Award. In 2004, the Police Historical
Society presented him with their first Cota Award for
community philanthropy and support of law enforcement. Dean and Susie received the Harold Leventhal
Community Service Award in 2003, the top national
award of the Huntington’s Disease Society of America.
Spanos had the unique distinction of being a secondgeneration recipient of the renowned Ellis Island Medal
of Honor in 2002, 16 years after his father was similarly honored. He was also inducted into the DeMolay
International Alumni Hall of Fame in 2002. DeMolay
International is an organization dedicated to preparing
young men to lead successful and productive lives.
In 2001, the San Diego Hall of Champions Sports
Museum presented Dean and Susie with its Community
Champions Award, the Hall’s most distinguished award.
BUSINESSMAN AND FAMILY MAN
Dean Alexander Spanos was born in Stockton, California. He earned varsity letters in football and golf at
Lincoln High School in Stockton. Dean received Lincoln High School’s Hall of Fame Award, which honors
alumni whose contributions and accomplishments

MARK FABIANI
Special Counsel to the President
Mark Fabiani joined the Chargers in 2002. His primary
function is to work with the greater San Diego community to
explore opportunities for a new state-of-the-art football stadium in the San Diego region.
Since joining the Chargers, Fabiani and his La Jolla-based
firm, Fabiani & Lehane LLC, has taken the lead in working
with taxpayers and fans to create a publicly-acceptable solution to the stadium issue. He also has managed the grassroots effort to solicit ideas from the community.
In 2000, Fabiani served as the deputy campaign manager
for communications and strategy for former Vice President Al

campaign’s communications and media strategies and tactics,
including the Vice President’s post-election Florida vote count
effort. Fabiani also served as the campaign’s chief spokesperson, appearing daily on national television broadcasts.
Prior to serving under Gore, Fabiani held the position of
special counsel to President Bill Clinton from 1994 through

Executive Vice President — General Manager
28th NFL Season, 14th season with Chargers
A.J. Smith has been the architect of the most successful
era in Chargers history and is just two wins shy of becoming
the team’s all-time winningest general manager.
Smith, who is entering his 10th year at the helm, took the
reins of the Chargers on April 22, 2003, after his close friend
and long-time associate, John Butler, lost his battle with cancer.
The Chargers were 13-35 in the three seasons prior to
Smith being named general manager, but since then the Bolts
have won 91 games overall and five AFC West championships.
Further, before Smith was named general manager, the
Chargers had not been to the playoffs or had a winning
record for seven consecutive seasons. Going into 2012, the
Chargers have assembled a string of eight straight seasons
without a losing record.
The late Sid Gillman holds the franchise’s all-time record
for wins by a general manager with 92. Gillman served for 11
seasons (1960-70). Gillman and Smith are tied for the most
division titles by a general manager with five apiece.
During Smith’s nine-year run as general manager, the
Chargers have acquired the most Pro Bowl talent in the NFL,
sending 15 different players to the league’s all-star contest.
The New England Patriots are a close second with 14.
Smith is widely recognized as one of the National Football
League’s top general managers and talent evaluators. This
success on the field has led to recognition in several national publications. He was named the NFL’s 2004 Executive of
the Year by Pro Football Weekly, the Professional Football
Writers of America (PFWA), FoxSports.com and CBS SportsLine.com. In 2006, Forbes named him its top NFL General
Manager, and in addition, the magazine ranked Smith fourth
overall among his counterparts in the four major professional sports leagues in the U.S. and Canada (NFL, NBA, NHL and
MLB). In 2009, USA Today ranked Smith sixth on their list of
the Top 20 Personnel Executives in the NFL, and Forbes recognized Smith once again in 2010, ranking him fifth on its
list of the Top 10 NFL GMs.
The team’s success since Smith took over as general manager has not been lost on the organization. On Jan. 1, 2008,
President Dean Spanos rewarded Smith with a five-year contract extension through 2014.
Smith has made a plethora of noteworthy player moves. In
perhaps his most memorable, Smith selected quarterback Eli
Manning with the first overall pick in the 2004 NFL Draft and
less than an hour later, traded him to the New York Giants for
Philip Rivers (the fourth overall choice) and several draft picks.
Smith has made many notable decisions during his tenure,
including the recommendation he made to Spanos in 2007
that the Chargers hire Norv Turner as head coach. Spanos
and Smith have since had a front-row seat as Turner guided
the team to three AFC Western Division championships in his
first five years and a 49-31 record.
Prior to assuming the general manager’s role in San Diego,
Smith spent the previous 27 years moving methodically through
the ranks of professional football. He worked as a part-time
scout, full-time scout, assistant director of scouting, director of
scouting and assistant general manager before being promoted
to executive vice president-general manager of the Chargers.
Baltimore Ravens General Manager Ozzie Newsome said:
“A.J. learned from Bill Polian in Buffalo. And he learned from
George Allen in the USFL. He’s been around successful people, so he’s learned the right way to do things.”
Smith began his second tenure with the Chargers on Jan. 18,
2001, as assistant general manager and director of pro personnel. His duties included monitoring NFL transactions, evaluating pro talent, and handling tryouts and free agent contracts.
Smith has worked in pro football since 1977, including
three years in the United States Football League in the early
1980s. He spent 14 seasons (1987-00) with the Buffalo Bills,
joining the team as an area scout in 1987 before being
named assistant director of college scouting in 1989. In
1993, Smith became director of pro personnel.
During his tenure in Buffalo, referred to as the “Glory
Years” in Bills history, Smith worked closely with Hall of Fame
coach Marv Levy as the team’s assistant director of college
scouting. And during that time, Buffalo made appearances in
Super Bowls XXV, XXVI and XXVII. Smith was promoted to
director of pro personnel prior to the Bills’ appearance in
Super Bowl XXVIII.
Smith served as the Chargers’ pro personnel director from
1985-86. He also held scouting positions with the USFL’s
Chicago Blitz (1982-83) and Pittsburgh Maulers (1984). He
began his NFL career in 1977 as a volunteer part-time scout
for the New York Giants under the direction of Jim Trimble
and moved on to become a part-time scout for the New England Patriots (1978-80) and Houston Oilers (1981).
Smith made his start in football as an assistant coach at
Cranston West High School in Cranston, Rhode Island, from
1971-76. He was the head coach of the Rhode Island Kings
of the Eastern Football League in 1976 and an assistant
coach at the University of Rhode Island in 1978.
Smith is a graduate of Bishop Hendricken High School in
Warwick, Rhode Island. He was a standout on the football
and track teams and was inducted into the school’s hall of
fame in 2003. Smith earned a degree in health and physical
education from Kentucky Wesleyan College in 1971. In June
2005, Smith returned to his alma mater for the dedication
and presentation of a plaque in his honor, which hangs in the
A.J. Smith Weight Room inside the Woodward Health and
Recreation Center.
Smith played semi-pro football as a wide receiver with the
Attleboro (Mass.) Kings of the Eastern Football League from
1972-74 and had a tryout with the Washington Redskins in
1974. He was inducted into the American Football Association’s Minor Semi-pro Football Hall of Fame in 1990. Smith
also taught health and physical education in the Providence
(R.I.) junior high school system from 1971-85.
Smith and his wife, Susan, reside in Del Mar. The Smiths
have two children: a daughter, Andrea, and a son, Kyle.
Andrea graduated Cum Laude from Cortland State in
New York with a degree in sports management, where she
was an honorable mention All-America volleyball player for
the Red Dragons. Andrea now lives in San Diego and is the
Manager of Petco Park Suites for Major League Baseball’s
San Diego Padres.
Kyle graduated from Youngstown State, where he had an
outstanding career as a wide receiver and punt returner. Following his senior campaign, Smith was named the team’s
most valuable player and was invited to play in the 2006 Hula

ED McGUIRE
Executive Vice President of Football Operations —
Assistant General Manager
25th NFL Season, 15th season with Chargers
Ed McGuire has enjoyed a steady ascent since joining the
Chargers in 1998 as coordinator of football operations. In
2007, he was promoted to executive vice president of football
operations, and in 2008 he became assistant general manager.
McGuire is in charge of all football operations for the
Chargers. He oversees player contract negotiations as well
as the day-to-day business and administrative operations
of the scouting department, coaching department, equipment and video departments, training staff, and strength
and conditioning staff.
One of McGuire’s key roles involves serving as the chief
negotiator for all player contracts. The Chargers have made a
concerted effort to re-sign their own players and McGuire
has played an integral role in the process. In 2004, McGuire
negotiated an eight-year contract extension for 2006 NFL
MVP and two-time NFL rushing champion, LaDainian Tomlinson. At the time, the deal was the largest contract ever signed

1996-98 — Senior Manager of Labor Operations, NFL
by a running back in NFL history. And in 2009, McGuire negotiated Philip Rivers’ six-year, $92 million contract extension,
the largest player contract negotiated in team history.
McGuire joined the Chargers after serving as the senior
manager of labor operations for the NFL’s Management
Council from 1996-98. He was the league’s manager of player personnel from 1991-96 and originally joined the NFL in
1987 as a player personnel analyst. McGuire also worked in
the personnel department for the United States Football
League from 1984-86.
During his tenure in the National Football League office,
McGuire became a leading expert on the NFL’s salary cap and
Collective Bargaining Agreement, which was created in 1993
between the NFL and the NFL Players’ Association.
Born in Riverhead, New York, McGuire graduated with a
degree in athletic administration in 1984 from St. John’s University in Jamaica, New York. He played football and baseball
at Riverhead High School.
McGuire and his wife, Jane, have two children—son Kevin
and daughter Shannon—and reside in Rancho Bernardo.

Head Coach
28th NFL Season, 7th with Chargers
Norv Turner has the highest winning percentage in team
history. USA Today’s NFL Coach of the Year in 2009 owns a
52-34 (.605) record with the Chargers, including 49-31 (.613)
in the regular season. He’s 21-9 against the AFC West with
identical 7-3 records against Oakland, Denver and Kansas City.
He owns an impressive three division titles and two second
place finishes in the AFC West. His regular-season Chargers
record after November 1 is 32-12, including 21-3 in December and January. Turner’s 49 regular-season wins are the franchise’s most in a five-year stretch since 1977-81.
With 111 career wins, including playoffs, Turner ranked
fifth among active NFL head coaches in wins at the conclusion of the 2011 season. The only coaches with more were Bill
Belichick, Mike Shanahan, Tom Coughlin and Andy Reid. Turner’s win total also ranks 34th all-time among all NFL coaches.
Tom Flores and Vince Lombardi were among those that Turner passed on the all-time wins list during the 2011 season.
Turner is within reach of a number of coaches as he heads
into 2012, including John Madden (112) and Don Coryell
(114).
After Turner won his 100th career game in the Chargers’
2011 season opener against Minnesota, players presented
him with a Game Ball in the locker room.
Turner joined the Chargers in 2007 and has led the team to
the playoffs three times as AFC West Champions, including
an appearance in the ’07 AFC Championship Game. Only five
teams have made more playoff appearances than Turner’s
Chargers and only eight have won more than San Diego’s
three in the postseason. Turner is tied with Don Coryell and
Bobby Ross for the most playoff wins in team history (three).
As the head coach and offensive play-caller, Turner has
helped the Chargers achieve offensive feats rarely seen
before in the 52-year history of the franchise.
The Bolts have scored more than 400 points and averaged
more than 25.0 in NFL and franchise-record eight straight
seasons, including all five under Turner. In 2011, the Chargers
boasted a 4,000-yard passer, a 1,000-yard rusher and a
1,000-yard receiver for only the third time in franchise history, and one of the two previous (2008) was also under Turner’s watch. The Chargers have ranked in the NFL’s top 10 for
total offense the last three seasons, including the league’s
top ranking in 2010. The Chargers are the only team in the
NFL to pass for more than 4,500 yards and rush for more
than 1,800 each of the last two seasons. And the Chargers
have racked up more than 6,000 total net yards the last two
seasons, the first time it’s been done in San Diego in consecutive seasons since 1983-85.
Turner’s penchant for strong finishes rang true once again
in 2011 as he led the Chargers to a record of 4-1 down the
stretch. The coach oversaw an up-and-down campaign in ’11
that began and ended with 4-1 records.
In 2010, Turner’s Chargers led the NFL in total offense and
total defense. San Diego finished the season strong, winning
seven of its last nine. The Chargers also led the league in
average 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 his
NFL coaching career in 2010 as the Chargers’ roster endured
constant change throughout the season. Seventy-four different players appeared in at least one game for the Bolts, equal-
ing Arizona’s NFL record (2005) for the most players in a nonstrike season. In total, the Chargers made 109 roster moves
between final cuts (Sept. 4) and the end of the regular season.
Despite the constant roster shuffling, the Chargers offense
rarely wavered. At the end of the year, the Chargers were one
of only two NFL teams to feature a quarterback with at least
30 touchdown passes, a running back with at least 10 rushing touchdowns and a receiver or tight end with at least 10
touchdown catches. It’s a feat that had been achieved only
one other time in franchise history (1981).
From 2007-09, Turner became the first Chargers coach to
start his career with three-straight division titles.
Quarterback Philip Rivers has been a shining star in Turner’s
offense. He passed for 4,624 yards in 2011 to become only
the fifth player in NFL history to pass for more than 4,500
yards in consecutive seasons. It followed a 2010 season in
which Rivers passed for a career-high 4,710 yards. Working
with Turner, Rivers has passed for at least 4,000 yards in the
last four seasons, a franchise record and an accomplishment
that only has been matched by two other NFL signal callers,
Peyton Manning and Drew Brees.
In 2008, Turner led the Chargers through one of the greatest turnaround seasons in NFL history. His team started 4-8,
but won its final four to close the season 8-8. The Chargers
won the AFC West and became the first team in the current
division format to win their division when trailing by three
games with three left to play. Turner then led the Chargers to
a thrilling 23-17 overtime win against Indianapolis in the Wild
Card Playoffs and into the Divisional Playoffs for a secondconsecutive year.
Turner’s first season at the helm in San Diego in 2007 was
filled with excitement. He led the team to a career-high 11
wins and became just the second head coach in team history
to win the AFC West in his first season. Turner also became the
first Chargers coach since Ross to win a playoff game in his
first season, winning not just one, but two as San Diego
defeated Tennessee in the Wild Card Playoffs and Indianapolis
on the road in the Divisional round. The run ended in New England in the AFC Championship Game, but not before Turner
became only the sixth head coach in NFL history to lead a team
to the championship game in his first season at the helm.
Chargers fans were given a glimpse of Turner’s offensive
wizardry in 2001 when he spent a season as the team’s
offensive coordinator. The offense improved 17 spots in the
rankings, surging from from 28th to 11th, while finishing the
season with a 3,000-yard passer, a 1,000-yard rusher, and
1,000-yard receiver for only the second time in team history.
Turner left San Diego after the 2001 season, spending the
next 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) and
one as the 49ers’ offensive coordinator (2006). Six years later
on Feb. 19, 2007, he returned to the Chargers.
Turner was born in the Bay Area suburb of Martinez, California, the same city that produced baseball legend Joe
DiMaggio. He grew up the middle of five children, all of
whom were raised by his mother, Vicky, a single parent. Vicky
battled multiple sclerosis, spending the latter years of her life
in a wheelchair before her passing in 1989. Turner’s oldest
sister, Janis, also suffers from the disease. Turner serves on
the board of the San Diego Chapter of the Multiple Sclerosis
Society and last May served as the Honorary Chair for the MS
Society’s Golf Invitational at the La Jolla Country Club.

Before 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 coaching
profession. Ron spent nine years (2001-09), including an NFC
Championship season in 2006, as the offensive coordinator
for the Chicago Bears. He is now the quarterbacks coach for
the Tampa Bay Buccaneers after holding the same post in
2011 for the Indianapolis Colts.
As a teenager, Turner played quarterback and safety at
Alhambra High School in Martinez. He earned a scholarship to
the University of Oregon and won three varsity letters (197274) as a quarterback for the Ducks, spending two of his three
seasons as the backup to former Charger and Pro Football
Hall of Fame quarterback Dan Fouts. One of the assistant
coaches on Oregon’s staff, John Robinson, would later give
Turner his first big break as a coach. First though, Turner landed a job as a graduate assistant at Oregon in 1975.
Robinson accepted the head coaching job at the University of
Southern California in 1976, and he invited Turner to join him.
Turner spent the next nine seasons in Los Angeles, winning four
Rose Bowls and a national championship in 1978. He coached
wide receivers, defensive backs, quarterbacks and served as the
Trojans’ offensive coordinator. In 1980, Turner tutored what is
regarded by many as one of the finest defensive backfields in
college football history, featuring safeties Ronnie Lott and Dennis Smith, both of whom went on to become NFL first-round
draft 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 a
seventh round draft pick and later become the head coach of
the Houston Oilers/Tennessee Titans.
In 1985 Turner landed his first NFL coaching job when
Robinson hired him as an assistant coach with the Los Angeles Rams, assigning him to work alongside offensive coordinator Ernie Zampese, a disciple of the “Air Coryell” offense. Zampese taught Turner the ins and outs of the offensive system
made famous by former Chargers Head Coach Don Coryell.
In 1991, Jimmy Johnson hired Turner as the offensive coordinator in Dallas. It proved to be a turning point in Turner’s
career as the Cowboys won back-to-back Super Bowl titles
(XXVII and XXVIII) following the ’92 and ’93 seasons. Turner
worked with three future NFL Hall of Famers in Dallas: quarterback Troy Aikman, running back Emmitt Smith and wide

receiver Michael Irvin. Turner almost single-handedly resurrected Aikman’s career in Dallas. In the two seasons before
Turner’s arrival, Aikman threw just 20 touchdown passes and
36 interceptions. In his first season in Turner’s offense, Aikman posted the first positive touchdown-to-interception
ratio of his career and led the Cowboys to the NFC Divisional
Playoffs. A year later, Aikman passed for a career-high 3,445
yards with 23 touchdowns while leading Dallas to a 13-3
record and its first NFC East title since 1985. Aikman continued his ascent in the playoffs, directing the Cowboys to
three-straight postseason wins en route to capturing MVP
honors following Dallas’ 52-17 win over the Buffalo Bills in
Super Bowl XXVII. The following year, Aikman completed a
franchise-record 69.1 percent of his passes and led the Cowboys to a second-consecutive Super Bowl win over the Bills.
And when he was enshrined in the Pro Football Hall of Fame
in 2006, Aikman asked Turner to be his presenter.
Smith and Irvin also flourished under Turner. They led the
NFL in rushing and receiving, respectively, in 1991, marking
the first time since the NFL-AFL merger in 1970 that teammates led the league in both categories. Since then it has
happened only one other time (Indianapolis, 1999).
Catapulting off his success in Dallas, Turner earned his first
head-coaching assignment, joining the Washington Redskins
in 1994. He spent seven seasons in Washington, leading the
Redskins to four winning seasons and the NFC East title in
1999. During his tenure, Turner was a mentor to Pro Bowl
quarterbacks Brad Johnson and Gus Frerotte. Johnson flourished in 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’s
offensive system. Three won NFL rushing titles while playing
for Turner, including LaDainian Tomlinson (2007), Smith
(1991-93) and Miami’s Ricky Williams (2002).
Turner, his wife, Nancy, and their youngest son, Drew, live
in Del Mar, California. Drew is a senior year at the University
of San Diego. Their daughter, Stephanie, lives in Los Angeles,
is an actress who has appeared in several movies and television shows, and is the creator and content provider for FootballBrat.com Oldest son Scott has followed in the coaching
footsteps of his father and uncle and serves as the offensive
quality control coach for the Carolina Panthers.

After helping rescue San Diego’s special teams from near
dormancy in 2011, Rich Bisaccia was promoted to Assistant
Head Coach—Special Teams soon after the ’11 season ended.
While Bisaccia helped restore credibility, it did not come
without challenges. Kicker Nate Kaeding was injured on the
first play of the season, but punter Mike Scifres coolly stepped
in and helped lead the Chargers to a win over the Minnesota
Vikings with a clutch fourth-quarter field goal. Days later, Nick
Novak was signed and in 15 games set new team records for
field goals of 40 and 50 yards or longer in a season. Scifres

7th NFL Season

Hal Hunter received a well-deserved promotion in 2012
when Head Coach Norv Turner named him offensive coordinator. The Chargers’ offensive line coach since 2006, Hunter
helped stabilize a unit beset by injury in 2011 as 13 different
players saw time along the line, including 11 starters. Despite

Executive Vice President — Chief Executive Officer
A.G. Spanos oversees all day-to-day business operations of
the San Diego Chargers, including marketing, sales, public
relations and community relations activities. He also represents the organization at all NFL and ownership meetings.
Spanos was named executive vice president–chief executive officer in July 2011 after serving five seasons as the
team’s director of marketing programs and business development (2003-07) and three as its executive vice president—
executive officer (2008-10).
Key among his many priorities, Spanos has spearheaded
several initiatives to create more value for season ticket holders. To reward and thank the Chargers’ most loyal customers
that he refers to as the team’s “life’s blood,” Spanos created
the most attractive list of benefits ever available, including
exclusive events with the team at Training Camp and Qualcomm Stadium, behind-the-scenes tours, and once-in-a-lifetime prize packages and opportunities.
Spanos also works diligently with the team’s customer service, stadium and security partners to enhance the Chargers
fans’ game-day experience and the team’s Fan Conduct Program. Fan behavior is a strategic priority for the NFL and the
Chargers organization. During the NFL’s unannounced stadium
security checks of all 32 venues last season, the Chargers had
the most outstanding review and ranked first among all teams
in the League’s “Fan Conduct Best Practices” audit in 2011.
In an effort to quench Chargers fans unending thirst for
information about their team, Spanos recently created the
team’s first-ever digital media department. The department
will be instrumental in providing an endless supply of unique
content available only on the team’s official website, while
expanding the Chargers’ social media footprint.
Spanos’ decision to lower the price of 6,500 seats going
into the 2011 season proved successful as it provided Chargers fans with more of the most affordable NFL tickets in the
country while also easing the path to additional sellouts and
live local telecasts. Also under his direction, the team implemented its first Law Enforcement Appreciation Night at a
game in 2010 and brought in internationally renowned Foreigner to perform free of charge for fans in the parking lot
before the game.
Spanos was responsible for the development and implementation of the Chargers’ new logo and marks in 2007,
including new uniforms. He coordinated efforts with the stadium concessionaire to launch the opening of the Chargers
Team Store at Qualcomm Stadium and he has worked closely
with the merchandise partners who supply the store as well
as the team’s Online Pro Shop at Chargers.com.
Spanos has continued the Chargers’ long-standing tradition of community support and involvement. In 2002, Spanos
founded “Chargers Auction,” which offers official Chargers
merchandise and team-worn memorabilia online and has
raised more than $530,000 for charity. A.G. has served on the
Executive Committee and the Board of Directors for the San
Diego Hall of Champions Sports Museum and a Trustee for
the San Diego Sports Commission. He also serves on the
Board of Directors for the San Diego Regional Chamber of
Commerce and the San Diego Police Foundation.
Most recently in 2012, A.G. accepted several community
honors on behalf of the Spanos family and the Chargers. He
accepted the Make-A-Wish Foundation’s Wish-Granting
Partner of the Year Award as well as the President’s Merit
Award from the California State Athletic Director’s Association. The Rotary Club of San Diego also presented Spanos
and the Chargers with its Heilbron Award, given to companies “that exemplify the pay it forward spirit – that give of
themselves and their professional expertise to advance the
well-being and success of others in the community.”

6th NFL Season
3rd with Chargers
To say that Antwan Barnes had a breakout season in
2011 would be an understatement. A reserve linebacker
who had all of 9.5 sacks combined prior to last season,
Barnes planted himself firmly on the NFL’s radar after an
11-sack season in ’11.
Barnes saved his biggest splash of 2011 for a nationallytelevised contest against the Baltimore Ravens in midDecember, the team that drafted in him the fourth-round
in 2007 and traded him to Philadelphia three years later.
For Barnes, it was an opportunity at payback and NBC’s
Sunday Night Football audience saw him sack Ravens
quarterback Joe Flacco four times, tied for the most in a
game by an NFL player all season. Barnes started five
games for the Chargers in 2011, the first starts of his NFL
career, and tied for 11th in the league in sacks.

Barnes enjoys spending time with his family, bowling,
playing cards and music. He played the trumpet and drums
in his middle school band and will still occasionally pick up a
trumpet and belt out a few tunes. He’s also considering a
career in the music industry after football.
Barnes was raised primarily by a single mom and his
grandmother, Addie Arrington, who passed in 2001. Seeing the struggles they both endured, Barnes recently started the Antwan Barnes Foundation. His goal is to help single mothers get a fresh start, while providing college
scholarships to children raised by a single mother. As part

ages 6-17 this summer at his alma mater, Norland High

season, but he bounced back in ’09 with another solid season, racking up four interceptions.

3rd NFL Season
4th with Chargers
Curtis Brinkley is a survivor. What else can you say about
a young man who grew up in the housing projects of
Philadelphia, lost his father when he was a sophomore in
college, survived an attempt on his life, and now plays the
game he loves with a bullet just an inch from his heart.
A record-breaking running back at West Catholic High in
Philadelphia, Brinkley was back in his hometown in July
2009, just three months after signing with the Chargers
and completing offseason workouts. His sister, Niveka,
called one evening and asked Brinkley if he could pick her
up from the adult-care facility where she worked. While
waiting in his car, a gunman - later identified as his sister’s
ex-boyfriend - approached the vehicle and fired three
shots, not realizing that the man behind the wheel was
Niveka’s brother, Curtis.
Brinkley was shot three times. He was able to escape in
the car, but a few blocks from the incident, he crashed
through some bushes and a fence before losing consciousness and backing his car into an SUV parked in a driveway.
He was rushed to a local hospital where doctors were able
to remove two of the .357-caliber bullets, but a third was
lodged so close to his heart that they decided it was too
dangerous to remove. The boyfriend later turned himself in
to the police and plead guilty to a felony charge of aggravated assault. Brinkley, meanwhile, returned to the Chargers less than a year later.

Assured by doctors that it was safe to resume his football career, Brinkley trained and ran harder than ever. He
performed well enough in training camp and the 2010 preseason to earn a spot on the team’s practice squad, and
just two weeks into the season he was brought up to the
active roster when injuries left the team’s running backs in
short supply. Brinkley did not play in the Chargers’ Week 3
contest in Seattle and returned to the practice squad the
following week, but later in the season another opportunity presented itself and Brinkley returned to the active roster in late November. In true storybook fashion, he received
his first-ever regular-season NFL carry late in an ESPN
Monday Night Football game against the Denver Broncos
when his teammates decided to change the play call in the
offensive huddle. Instead of the fullback dive called in from
the sidelines, the ball went to Brinkley, who carried it nine
yards for a first down that enabled the Chargers to take a
knee and run out the clock for a victory.
Brinkley’s storybook career continued in 2011 as he
scored his first NFL touchdown in another Monday Night
Football game in Kansas City’s Arrowhead Stadium and he
made his first NFL start in the Chargers’ season finale in
Oakland. In December, teammates voted Brinkley as the
team’s winner of the Ed Block Courage Award.
Brinkley is now an advocate for the Crime Victims Fund.

He was drafted by Major League Baseball’s Seattle Mariners
in the 50th round in 2000. Brown bypassed the major
leagues to attend Auburn where he was a two-time second-team All-SEC pick.
In Sept. 2010, Brown started the Ronnie Brown Project and a campaign entitled “23 Ways to Stop Youth Violence.” It
was a project with one main goal: to stop violence in
schools. His target was middle and high school students in
Miami-Dade and Broward Counties in Florida, and Brown
worked closely with the Jason Taylor Foundation, Teen
Truth Live and the Miami-Dade Violence Intervention Project to make the program a success. Brown still visits
schools on a regular basis to deliver his message.
Now married to Taylor, his former college sweetheat,
Brown’s message carries a personal tone as he could have
fallen into the same trap as many of today’s youth. Both
of his parents dealt with legal issues when Ronnie was a
child and it would’ve been easy for his life to go astray.
Fortunately, Brown had a supportive family that looked
after him in Cartersville and his parents’ troubles are long
a thing of the past.
Brown was a communications major at Auburn. During
his junior year, he interned at the Auburn Network, editing
and producing highlight films.

RETURNING PLAYERS
The Chargers solidified their corps of running backs
when they agreed to terms in June on a one-year contract
with 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 pick
in the first round of the 2005 NFL Draft by the Miami Dolphins. In six seasons for the Dolphins, he rushed for 4,815
yards and 36 touchdowns, while catching 184 passes for
1,491 yards and a pair of scores. He ranks third on the Dolphins’ all-time list for rushing yards and touchdowns, and is
tied with Hall of Fame running back Larry Csonka for the
second-most 100-yard rushing games in team history. From
2005-07, Brown averaged better than 4.0 yards per carry
for the Dolphins, becoming the team’s first back to do so for
three-straight seasons since Tony Nathan from 1983-85.
Brown posted his only 1,000-yard season in 2006, rushing for 1,008 yards for the Dolphins. He earned a Pro Bowl
selection 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 Dolphins
out of the Wildcat formation, one each during the 2008
and ’09 seasons against New England.
The 30-year-old Brown is a native of Cartersville, Ga. The
state’s 2A Player of the Year in football as a senior at
Cartersville High, Brown also was a stellar baseball player.

The Chargers stayed close to home with their first of
two picks in the third round in the 2011 NFL Draft, grabbing Vincent Brown from San Diego State. He was the
14th former Aztec drafted by the Chargers and the first
since quarterback Jesse Freitas in 1974. Brown was the
third all-time leading receiver in school history with 209
catches and 3,110 yards, and he was a two-time AllMountain West Conference selection.
The Chargers had high hopes for Brown’s rookie season,
but the NFL lockout and a training camp hamstring strain
combined to stall the rookie’s progress. Brown worked
through those issues and he began to contribute during the
second half of the season with several catches that made
highlight reels across the nation. He made his first start

3rd NFL Season
3rd with Chargers
One of the top feel-good stories out of San Diego in
2011 was the emergence of inside linebacker Donald Butler.
A third-round pick in the 2010 NFL Draft whom the
Chargers traded up 12 spots to select, the Bolts were looking for big things from the former Washington Husky as a
rookie. But one afternoon during an early training camp
practice, Butler tore his left Achilles tendon during a pass
rush drill and his rookie season ended before it began.
Butler spent all of 2010 rehabilitating and when 2011
arrived, the door of opportunity swung wide open. Butler
paid close attention and took copious notes from veteran
inside ’backer Takeo Spikes, who was signed as a free agent
in July. The two ended up starting side-by-side and Butler’s
repaired Achilles held up as he and Spikes ranked 1-2 on
2010...signed four-year contract, July 13.
2011: Two tackles for loss and two quarterback hits, one of
which led to interception by teammate Marcus Gilchrist Oct.
2 vs. Miami...first-career interception week later in Denver off
Kyle Orton...Oct. 23 at New York Jets, early in game stripped
ball from tight end Dustin Keller after catch and returned
fumble 37 yards for touchdown and 7-0 lead...season-high
11 tackles vs. Jets...season-high three tackles for loss Nov. 27
vs. Denver. 2010: Placed on “Reserve-Injured” Aug. 31.

the team in tackles with 119 and 102, respectively. By the
time the ’11 season concluded, Butler had started all 16
games and he was the only Chargers defender to hang a
number in every statistical defensive category.
Butler studied construction management at Washington. His mom, Janet Rice, was a single parent who worked
a number of years for the Oakland (Calif.) Housing Authority while raising Donald and two siblings. Her career path
spurred an interest in Donald in the business side of construction, which he pursued while playing football for the
Huskies. Butler also spent two of his college years learning
on the job as he interned with the Walsh Construction Co.
in Tacoma, Wash.

Ken-yon Rambo, was a receiver at Ohio State before playing
for the Dallas Cowboys and New York Jets. Another cousin,
Aveion Cason, was an All-America tailback at Illinois State
and played for the Detroit Lions, St. Louis Rams and Cowboys.
Cason has a long history of community
service. At Arizona, he and former Wildcat
teammate, Matt Brooks, created a campaign to fight cancer known as “Cason Cares.” Cason
became involved after losing his grandfather, Royce
Rambo, to cancer in Feb. 2006. Cason and Brooks sold rubber wristbands for $3 apiece and the pair made a generous
donation to the American Cancer Society for cancer
research before an Arizona men’s basketball game in

After leading the team with four interceptions and 11
passes defensed in 2010, Antoine Cason had high expectations for the 2011 season. Cason overcame mid-season
struggles and once again finished the year on a high note,
ending the season as the team’s leader with 15 passes
defensed. Cason recorded a season-high four passes
defensed in the Chargers’ season-ending win over the
Oakland Raiders and he combined for nine passes
defensed in late season wins over the Raiders, Jacksonville
Jaguars and Buffalo Bills.
A Jim Thorpe Award winner at Arizona in 2007 as the
nation’s top collegiate defensive back, Cason had his jersey
retired by the school in 2010. He is one of more than a
dozen family members to play Division I college football. His
father, Wendell, was a defensive back at the University of
Oregon and went on to play for the Atlanta Falcons. His
brother, Dione, ran track at Washington State and cousin,

Smart and stout are two words that come to mind when
defining defensive end Jacques Cesaire. A one-time
undrafted free agent from tiny Southern Connecticut
State in New Haven, Conn., Cesaire made the most of that
opportunity and built himself an NFL career that now
embarks on its 10th professional season. Cesaire has started 66 of 125 career games played and serves as the senior
member of the defensive line.
Cesaire was born in Massachusetts, but his parents emigrated to the United State from Haiti. When a 7.0 earthquake rocked the island nation in Jan. 2010, it hit particularly close to home. Luckily, no members of the Cesaire
family were harmed in the quake or its aftermath.
Jacques is married to the former Jill Murray and the couple has two children, Viviana and Desmond. Devout Christians, the Cesaires host regular Bible study sessions at their
San Diego home and they oversee a nonprofit foundation

The Chargers’ winner of the 2010 Ed Block Courage
Award, Jeromey Clary is the only offensive player to play
every offensive snap each of the last two seasons. It’s even
more remarkable considering that in late 2009, Clary suffered a serious ankle injury that would later require surgery.
The Chargers rewarded their right tackle with a four-year
contract just prior to the start of the 2011 season.
Clary became a starter for the Chargers late in the 2007
season. A reserve for most of the year, Head Coach Norv
Turner inserted him into the starting lineup at right tackle in
early December to give the team’s struggling running game
a spark. Over the final five games, the Chargers rushed for
880 yards and eight touchdowns, and went 5-0.

VETERANS &
RETURNING PLAYERS
For outside linebacker and former first-round draft pick
Larry English, expectations have given way to injuries. A
promising start to English’s career in 2009 has been
slowed by injury-plagued seasons in 2010 and ’11. English
was on the verge of posting big numbers in 2011 when he
was shelved for the second-consecutive season by a broken foot.
English will have a fresh start in 2012 and is looking forward to recapturing his rookie form under new defensive
coordinator John Pagano.
As a collegian, English was a two-time winner of the
Vern Smith Leadership Award as the top player in the MidAmerican Conference. He became only the second defensive player in MAC history to win the award once and more
impressively, he became only the fourth player ever to win
it twice. English left Northern Illinois as the school’s alltime leader in sacks (31.5) and tackles for loss (63). An

7th NFL Season
9th with Chargers
Malcom Floyd was all smiles when he returned to the
Chargers with a new two-year contract following the NFL
lockout of 2011. Unfortunately, the smiles dissipated as
the ’11 season’s script unfolded, following a familiar and
frustrating pattern of events for Floyd.
He was off to a solid start in 2011 with a couple of 100yard games against the Denver Broncos and Kansas City
Chiefs. However, in the Chiefs game on Halloween night,
Floyd aggravated a hip injury that forced him to the sidelines for the next four games. The Chargers were 4-3 when
Floyd got hurt, but lost all four of the games he missed.
When he finally returned for an early Dec. game in Jacksonville, the Chargers had fallen to 4-7 and were barely
alive in the AFC Playoff hunt. Not surprisingly, the Chargers
went 4-1 with Floyd back in the lineup.
Despite the setbacks, Floyd still managed to post
impressive numbers in 2011. He caught 43 passes with 41
resulting in first downs, a 95.3 pct. clip that was highest in
the NFL. His first 23 catches of the season all went for first
downs and his first catch that didn’t result in a first down
wasn’t until Dec. 11. Floyd totaled a career-high 856 yards
to go along with five touchdowns and his career-best

19.9-yard average was the highest in the league among
players with more than 800 yards receiving. It was also the
ninth highest in team history among players with at least
40 catches. Floyd had at least 95 yards and a touchdown
in four of the Chargers’ last five games last season and he’ll
look to carry that momentum into the 2012 season.
A deep-ball threat with a measured vertical leap of more
than three feet (40 inches) Floyd became a mainstay in the
Chargers’ offensive lineup in 2008. Since then, he’s caught
152 passes for 2,814 yards and his 18.5-yard average is
third in the NFL behind only Mike Wallace (18.7) and Victor
Cruz (18.7).
Floyd’s older brother, Malcolm, played wide receiver for
the Houston Oilers, Tennessee Titans and St. Louis Rams in
the 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 spending time with family, friends and teammates. An all-conference hoopster in high school, Floyd’s team won an intramural championship while he was in college at Wyoming.

2nd NFL Season
2nd with Chargers
A seventh-round draft pick in 2011, Andrew Gachkar did
exactly what he needed to do to make the team: excel on
special teams. Gachkar tied for the team lead with 12 special teams tackles and gained valuable experience in limited
time as a reserve inside linebacker. That experience should
bode well for the former Missouri Tiger as he heads into his
second NFL season.
Gachkar has an inspirational story. In 2007, after his
freshman year at Missouri, Gachkar was diagnosed with
Thoracic Outlet Syndrome. Basically a blood clot developed
because his collarbone and rib cage were too close together to allow proper blood flow through his veins. As a result,
Gachkar had to have major surgery to remove one of his
ribs and a second surgery later when another clot develTRANSACTION HISTORY: Seventh-round pick (234), April

oped. In total, Gachkar spent more than 20 hours in surgery
and nearly a month in the hospital where he lost 30
pounds. The surgeries initially put Gachkar’s football future
in doubt, but he was diligent in his rehabilitation and he
made it back for the 2008 season without missing a game.
By the time Gachkar left Missouri, he did so as a firstteam All-Big 12 choice by the Associated Press and a solid
special teams player. He led one of the most improved
defenses in the nation in 2010 with a team-best 81 tackles,
while also leading the Tigers in interceptions, forced fumbles, fumble recoveries and blocked kicks.

missed the entire 2010 season in Baltimore with a back
injury. Still, the Chargers believe Gaither has the size and
skill to become one of the NFL’s top left tackles.
Cooking is one of Gaither’s favorite hobbies. He learned
to cook in college by watching the Food Network and he’s
been profiled on ESPN’s Jock Chef and has participated in
a number of celebrity chef events during his career.
Gaither also likes to spend time with his four dogs, play
video games, fish and spend time out on the water. The
very first time he went fishing, Gaither accidentally threw
his rod over the side of the boat. He convinced his cousin,
Aaron Ball, to give up his rod and Gaither promptly started
catching everything in sight and ever since, he’s been
hooked on the sport.
Gaither visits schools and hosts annual Christmas and
Thanksgiving events for underprivileged kids and families in
his home state of Maryland. It’s something he started
doing when he came into the NFL in 2007.
The 6-9 Gaither only played one season of high school
football because he was a three-year letterman in basketball. He was originally ticketed to go to South Carolina on a
basketball scholarship, but late in the process he de-committed and accepted a football scholarship to Maryland.
Gaither’s older brother, Jamar, played basketball at West
Virginia and is now a coach in Maryland.

In 2011, Jared Gaither was the Chargers’ “Knight in Shining Armor.”
In late November, the Chargers found themselves in
trouble. The team had last six games in a row and Pro Bowl
left tackle Marcus McNeill had been lost to a neck injury.
But the Chargers were in the right place at the right time
when Kansas City chose to waive the behemoth 6-9, 340pound tackle. Immediately the Bolts put in a claim and on
Nov. 30, Gaither was awarded to the Chargers.
Chargers offensive line coaches Hal Hunter and Mike
Sullivan immediately went to work with Gaither. Incredibly,
just five days later, Gaither was in the starting lineup as the
Chargers tied their season-high with 38 points in a Monday Night Football victory at Jacksonville that halted the
team’s losing streak.
Gaither went on to hold down the left tackle spot for
the final five games of the season. He did not allow a sack
and the Chargers closed the year 4-1.
As the NFL calendar turned to 2012, the Chargers opted
to release McNeill and in March they signed Gaither to a
new four-year contract.
Everything that Gaither has accomplished thus far in his
career is impressive when considering that he’s only played
football competitively for a relatively short period of time.
He didn’t play in high school until his senior year. He only
played two seasons at the University of Maryland. And he

ANTONIO GARAY
Defensive Tackle
6-4, 320
6th NFL Season
4th with Chargers
shown on a number of highlight shows around the country.
A native of Rahway, N.J., Garay is a second-generation
freestyle wrestler and his family holds the second-most
medals in state history. Garay’s uncle, Louie Garay, won the
N.J. state title in 1955, uncle, Carlos Garay, finished second
in ’55, cousin, Carlos Garay, was third in ’99 and Antonio’s
dad, Tony, was third in ’66. Garay’s brother, Dan, also owns
a state title, but Antonio may have been the best of them
all. A state champion in his weight class (275 lbs.), Garay
was undefeated and won the high school national championship as a senior. He was also an All-American in football,
which led him to Boston College. He excelled in both sports
until the Eagles dropped wrestling prior to his senior year.
Garay finished fourth in the NCAA Championships as a
sophomore and won the award for the most pins in the
least amount of time at the national tournament. The only
wrestling All-American in school history, in 2009 Boston
College inducted Garay into its Athletics Hall of Fame.
Garay comes from a diverse family. His mother, Marsha,
is Jewish and his father is Catholic and a combination of
Puerto Rican, Costa Rican and Jamaican. Both of Garay’s
parents were two-sport athletes at Hofstra University,
where they met. His mom was a softball pitcher and captain of the tennis team and his dad wrestled and played
football. One of the most highly-touted defensive linemen
in the country in 1971, Garay’s father spent time in the
NFL with the Los Angeles Rams, Oakland Raiders, New
England Patriots and New York Jets. Garay’s mother has
instilled Jewish heritage in Antonio and his siblings, and as
such, one of his ambitions is to visit Israel and wrestle in
the Maccabi Games, an international Jewish athletic event
similar to the Olympics. Garay also has been mentioned as
a candidate to one day represent the United States in
wrestling at the Summer Olympics.
Garay is working toward starting a foundation called
“Set the Tone,” to help kids prepare for college. Garay
earned bachelor’s degrees in both English and marketing,
and a master’s degree in secondary education with a focus
on English from Boston College.
Garay is still reverred in his hometown. In 2011, he was
invited to teach a clinic at the New Jersey All-State
Wrestling Camp and in 2012, the Sicilian Federation of
New Jersey (Federazione Siciliana Del New Jersey) presented Garay with its "Humanitarian of the Year Award.”
Off the field, Garay is well-known
for unique hair designs that he
changes prior to each game. And he
turned heads last year when he
pulled into the parking lot at Chargers Park behind the wheel of a miniature Smart Car with images of Hello
Kitty emblazoned on the sides. Part
eco-conscious and part publicity
stunt, Garay gained notoriety on a
national level while driving the car.
The car is featured as the avatar on Garay’s Twitter account
(@antoniogaray71) which boasts more than 10,000 followers.

The Chargers retained a key cog on the defensive line
when Antonio Garay signed a two-year contract in March
to remain with the Bolts.
The anchor of the line in the team’s 3-4 defensive
scheme, Garay has a championship background as a
freestyle amateur wrestler and it’s helped him become one
of the league’s top defensive tackles. He returns after a
2011 season in which he led the defensive line in tackles
(67) and tackles for loss (nine), while ranking second on the
team in pressures (10) and quarterback hits (14).
Garay’s football story is one of incredible perseverence.
Just five years ago as a member of the Chicago Bears, he suffered a broken right leg and shattered right ankle as the result
of a horrific chop block that took nearly two years to heal. It
was the kind of injury that in most cases is career-ending, but
Garay refused to throw in the towel. He spent nearly two full
years doing rehab and his big break came when good family
friend and former wrestling coach, Joe Ryan, helped him create workout videos and post them on a website for NFL
teams to see. The effort paid off in Oct. 2009 when the New
York Jets signed Garay to the practice squad.
Just seven weeks after signing with the Jets, the Chargers, in need of help on the defensive line, signed Garay. It
was a chance for him to reunite with Don Johnson, his former position coach in Chicago whom he’d played for when
he sustained the horrific injury.
Garay saw limited action his first season with the Bolts,
but by 2010, the Chargers saw enough to move the 6-4,
320-pounder into the starting lineup and Garay enjoyed a
breakout season. He led the defensive line and set new
career highs in tackles, sacks, tackles for loss and quarterback hits. His 5.5 sacks tied for second among all NFL
defensive tackles and he was selected as a third-alternate
to the AFC Pro Bowl squad. Garay played in every game,
starting all but one, and was a key reason the Chargers led
the NFL in total defense and ranked fourth against the run.
One play in particular stuck out during Garay’s stellar ’10
season. During the Chargers’ Nov. 28 game in Indianapolis on
NBC’s Sunday Night Football, Garay put guard Jeff Linkenbach on his heels and drove him backward into quarterback
Peyton Manning. The play forced Manning to the ground,
and even though Garay wasn’t credited with a sack, it was
one of the most impressive plays of the NFL season and was

Detroit. He began his collegiate career at Michigan State under
the assumption that he could play both football and basketball,
but when the football coach relented, Gates chose to focus on
hoops and decided it was best to leave the East Lansing campus. An up-and-down start to his basketball career sent Antonio bouncing to three different schools before he finally found
a home at Kent State, where in two seasons he helped lead the
Golden Flashes to back-to-back Mid-American Conference
championships and the Elite Eight of the NCAA Tournament in
2002. Gates left the Kent, Ohio campus as the school’s sixthleading scorer and he returned to the Kent, Ohio, campus in
Feb. 2010 to have his No. 44 jersey retired by the school.
Gates’ basketball background has also had an impact on the
community. Annually he serves as the honorary chairman for the Shoot to Cure HD, a
speed free-throw shooting contest and event
that raises money for the Huntington’s Disease Society of America. He also hosts “Shop
with a Charger,” a unique Christmas event for
homeless, neglected and abused children.
If Gates’ athletic career had not steered him toward football or basketball, it’s possible he may have fashioned a
career in boxing. His paternal grandfather,
Henry Hank, was a professional boxer in the
1950s and ’60s. Hank fought 97 professional bouts as a middleweight and light heavyweight, winning 62 of them. His 1962 fight
against Joey Giardello was voted the Fight of
the Year by Ring Magazine. Old photos show
a striking resemblance between Gates and his grandfather,
and many in the family believe that Gates inherited his athletic ability from him.
Had Gates not opted for a career in athletics, he might have
tried his hand as a firefighter. A couple of years ago, a group of
firefighters attended a training camp practice and one of the
most enamored players was Gates. He told several of them
that long ago he’d dreamed of being a firefighter so several
weeks later, the assistant San Diego fire chief returned to
Chargers Park and presented Gates with a SDFD firefighters
jacket with his own name and number.

Antonio Gates, the San Diego Chargers’ all-time receptions leader, finally returned to 100 percent in 2011.
Hampered by nagging foot injuries, Gates finally found
comfort as the 2011 season motored along and he ended
the year leading the team in receptions for the seventh time
during his Hall of Fame career. For Gates, the highlight came
on Christmas Eve in his hometown of Detroit, Mich., when
he passed Charlie Joiner to become the Chargers’ all-time
leading receiver with his 587th career catch. Gates finished
the year with 593 catches, leaving him just seven away
from 600, a mark that only four tight ends and 58 total
players in NFL history have achieved.
Gates ended 2011 on a high note. He was voted to the
AFC Pro Bowl squad for an eighth-consecutive season and
in the Chargers’ season finale at Oakland, he recorded his
first 100-yard game of the year and had a season-long 38yard touchdown catch in a win over the Raiders. Gates’
touchdown catch against the Raiders was the 76th of his
career, leaving him just five behind Lance Alworth’s team
record of 81. Considering that Gates has had at least seven
TD catches in every season since 2004, it’s a matter of
when, not if Gates will pass the legendary “Bambi.”
From 2004-10, Gates was the only NFL player with at
least eight touchdown catches in each of those seasons.
Heading into 2012, he has 19 100-yard receiving
games, tied with Anthony Miller for sixth in team history.
Gates is a member of the NFL’s All-Decade Team (200009) and one of the Chargers’ 50 Greatest Players of AllTime. In addition to being an eight-time Pro Bowl all-star,
he’s been named first-team All-Pro three times during his
career. Since his arrival in the NFL in 2003, Gates leads all
tight ends in TD catches (76), while ranking third in receiving yards (7,783) and catches (593). To properly put Gates’
numbers into perspective, there are presently seven modern-era tight ends enshrined in the Pro Football Hall of
Fame. Gates’ career touchdown total exceeds all seven.

teammates were selected in the 2011 NFL Draft. According to the Tigers’ coaches though, it was Marcus’ football
IQ that made him stand out, along with an impressive
showing at the NFL combine where he posted a 38-inch
vertical leap and put up 26 bench-press repetitions at 225
pounds, second-most among all defensive backs.

age, 200 a day when he started playing youth sports, and
more as he got older. Marcus’ mother, LaJeune, was also
the daughter of a coach.

It didn’t take long for 2011 second-round pick Marcus
Gilchrist to make an impression in San Diego. Almost
immediately he earned the job as the team’s nickel cornerback and just four games into the season, Gilchrist earned
his first NFL start when starter Quentin Jammer was
injured. As expected the Miami Dolphins went right after
the rookie corner, but Gilchrist intercepted the first pass
thrown in his direction and his defense helped the Chargers to victory.
Gilchrist played in 14 games for the Chargers during his
rookie season and he started four times. He finished the
year with two interceptions, tied for second on the team.
Gilchrist came to the Chargers from Clemson University
where he was a star among stars. Four of his defensive

2nd NFL Season
3rd with Chargers
Richard Goodman, or “Goody” as he’s known by teammates, saved his best for last in 2011. He closed out the season in grand fashion, earning the AFC Special Teams Player
of the Week award after a team-record 105-yard kickoff
return for a touchdown that helped the Chargers to a 38-26
season-ending win over their arch rivals, the Oakland
Raiders. Goodman played every game last season and ranked
fourth in the NFL with a 27.5-yard kickoff return average.
An admitted gym rat, Goodman loves to bowl, work out
and stay in shape. He plays football with a bit of a chip on
his 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 his
senior year. By then, most of the major colleges had doled
out their scholarship offers, but when Goodman began to
beat some of the top prep recruits in the state during the
playoffs his senior season, colleges began to take notice.

Florida State was one of the first to offer a scholarship and
the sincerity of former Coach Bobby Bowden is what led
Goodman to Tallahassee to play for the Seminoles.
One of Goodman’s childhood heroes was Michael Irvin,
another alum of St. Thomas Aquinas. The two men grew
up in the same area and Goodman has tried to train, compete and approach the game the same way that the Hall of
Fame receiver did during his illustrious career.
Goodman is the oldest of four children who was raised
by a single mom with help from his paternal grandmother,
Olinthia, who passed in 1998. Now that he’s grown, Goodman has ambitions of starting a foundation to assist single
moms. Goodman has a teardrop tattooed below his right
eye in memory of his late grandmother and another on his
left forearm that’s a tribute to his mother.
Goodman’s best friend is Chicago Bears safety Major
Wright.

9th NFL Season
1st with Chargers
Just days after the 2012 NFL Draft, the Chargers added
an experienced veteran to their offensive line with the
signing of center-guard Rex Hadnot.
Hadnot spent the 2010-11 campaigns with the Arizona
Cardinals, where he started all 16 games at right guard in ’11.
Hadnot was a sixth-round pick (174) of the Miami Dolphins in 2004. He spent his first four NFL seasons with the
Dolphins (2004-07) and the 2008-09 seasons in Cleveland
before signing with Arizona.
Hadnot’s career totals include 113 games played with 93
starts and he’s started games at four different positions:
right guard (71), center (19), left guard (2) and tackle (1).
Hadnot is a native of Lufkin, Tex., and Lufkin High
School, where one of his teammates was former Chargers
safety Terrence Kiel, who died in a car accident in 2008.
Hadnot is the creator of the Joshua’s Wishing Well Foundation. It’s in honor of his younger brother, Joshua, who
died when Hadnot was just 11 years old. Joshua was born
with three holes in his heart and despite several surgeries,
passed away at the age of two. During visits to the hospital
in Galveston, Tex., where Joshua was being treated, Hadnot

and his mom, Eva Denise Ashworth, often
stayed in the local Ronald McDonald
House that was affiliated with the hospital. Ever since, Hadnot has continued to
support the Ronald McDonald House
through his foundation, while also reaching out to assist single mothers going
through the difficult times of dealing with a sick child.
Since 2008, Hadnot has hosted a free football camp for
kids ages 7-18 back in Lufkin. The camp instruction is free,
but he is able to raise funds through concession sales and
other means which support Joshua’s Wishing Well.
Hadnot is married, Kathryn, and has seven children, four
boys and three girls. The boys are Jacob, Joshua, and twins
Justin and Tristan. The girls are Kalyn, India and Kassidi.
One of Hadnot’s cousins is former Texas Tech running
back James Hadnot, a third-round draft choice of the
Kansas City Chiefs in 1980. He played with the Chiefs from
1980-83. Another cousin is former NBA and ABA basketball player Jim Hadnot.

tor. One of his father’s cousins, Joe McCormick, was a former Air Force pilot and Hardwick acquired his pilot’s license
before he turned 18. He earned the money to pay for his
flying lessons by collecting golf balls at a local driving range.
With an eye toward the service, Hardwick went to Purdue
on a Marine Corps ROTC Scholarship. But after former
Chargers quarterback Drew Brees led the Boilermakers to
the 2001 Rose Bowl, Hardwick saw the excitement it generated on the Purdue campus, and the following fall he
decided to walk on to the school’s football team. A year
after earning a spot as a scout team defensive tackle, Hardwick became the Boilermakers’ starting center and earned
all-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 is
given annually to a walk-on player who earns it, just as
Hardwick did. And in 2008, Purdue presented him with the
Drew Brees Mental Attitude Award, presented by the Joe
Tiller/Northwest Indiana Chapter of the National Football
Foundation. Hardwick became the fourth former Boilermaker to receive the award. Brees chooses the winner
each year to recognize an athlete who exemplifies exceptional mental attitude.
Owner of a management degree from Purdue, Hardwick
is the Chargers’ union representative and he guided the
players through the NFL Lockout in 2011. He sharpened
his business acumen when he attended the NFL’s Business
and Entrepreneurial Program at the Wharton School at the
University of Pennsylvania in 2009. It is a special program
where NFL players and front office employees spend a
week learning a broad range of business topics from some
of the country’s most well-known educators.
In December 2011, the Hardwicks became first-time
parents. Son, Hudson Harold, was born the night before
the Chargers’ nationally-televised game against the Baltimore Ravens. NBC showed America a picture of baby Hudson during the following night’s game broadcast.
Hardwick supports the Marine Corps-Law Enforcement
Foundation (MCLEF), an organization that raises money to
provide advanced education for the children of Marines
and law enforcement officers killed in the line of duty. He
also enjoys reading and drawing. As a youth in Indianapolis,
Hardwick played hockey on a traveling team that competed throughout the U.S. and Canada.

After the 2011 season ended, center Nick Hardwick had
an important decision to make. He was an unrestricted free
agent, a new father and one of his best friends and linemates - left guard Kris Dielman - retired after suffering a
serious concussion last season. All of it led Hardwick to
ponder whether he wanted to continue playing football,
and if he did, whether he wanted to play it in San Diego or
make a fresh start elsewhere.
When the dust settled just prior to the start of free
agency, Hardwick decided home is where the heart is and
he opted to sign a new three-year contract with the Chargers that will keep him in San Diego through the 2014 season. Having the chance to continue in the same city where
he started his career lifted a huge burden from the shoulders of Hardwick and his wife, Jayme.
One of the most highly-regarded centers in the game and
a member of the Chargers 50th Anniversary All-Time Team,
Hardwick comes into 2012 having started 103 career
games and 34 straight. Last season, he started all 16 games
for the second year in a row and he was selected by teammates as the Chargers’ Lineman of the Year. He was also
chosen as a third-alternate to the AFC Pro Bowl squad.
With all the accolades, it’s hard to believe that just three
seasons ago Hardwick suffered an ankle injury so serious
that it nearly ended his career. He
missed 13 games during the 2009 season, but returned for a late-season
push to the playoffs and hasn’t missed
a game since. Charged with calling out
the blocking schemes and making
changes at the line of scrimmage, Hardwick has a close bond with quarterback
Philip Rivers. A year ago they appeared together on the
cover of Sports Illustrated’s NFL Preview issue.
When Hardwick started all 16 games for the NFL’s No. 1
ranked offense in 2010, teammates honored him with a
share of the team’s Emil Karas Memorial Award as its most
inspirational player.
A Pro Bowl selection in 2006, Hardwick has been a
starter since his rookie season (2004). The Chargers have
rushed for at least 1,700 yards in every season that he has
started at least 12 games, including a team-record 2,578
yards in ’06.

first things he did was pay for a full upgrade of his grandparents’ home where he was raised.
Since his mom’s passing, Henderson has been an active
participant in causes related to breast cancer awareness, including walking in the
Susan G. Komen 3-Day event in Jacksonville. Hoping to continue his NFL career

Former Oakland Raiders tackle Mario Henderson signed
a one-year contract with the Chargers, looking to resurrect
his career after spending the 2011 season out of the NFL.
A third-round pick in 2007, Henderson was released by
the Raiders in 2011 and following the NFL lockout, he was
unable to find a job with another team. Eager to get back
into a competitive environment, Henderson played for the
Colorado Ice of the Indoor Football League in early 2012.
The former Florida State standout is eager for a second
chance. He is expected to compete to back up left tackle
Jared Gaither and right tackle Jeromey Clary.
Henderson got a late start playing football. He transferred
high schools as a sophomore and was ineligible to play as a
junior. Despite playing only one year of varsity in high school,
he earned a scholarship to Florida State where he became
the team’s starting left tackle late in his junior season.

Jacob Hester is an unselfish player and a jack-of-alltrades both on offense and special teams. As a lead blocker, he helped the Chargers regain some swagger on
offense as the Bolts rushed for more than 1,800 yards and
16 touchdowns each of the last two seasons. Though he
isn’t called upon to carry the ball very often, Hester
enjoyed one of his finest moments for the Chargers during
their 2011 game at Denver when the team lost its top two
rushers to injury. Hester was the only other active back on
the roster and he rushed for a career-high 47 tough yards
in helping the Chargers escape the Mile High City with a
29-24 win. Hester became an unrestricted free agent after
the 2011 season and signed a one-year deal in April to
remain with the Bolts.
Hester and his wife, Katie, have two sons,
Jackson and Knox. Hester is a huge sports
fan. His favorite team is the Atlanta Braves.
He’s also a huge soccer fan for both the Los
Angeles Galaxy and the U.S. National Team.

play whenever he can. In January 2011,
Jacob and Katie were in the stands in

One of the 50 Greatest Chargers of All-Time, Quentin
Jammer is the longest-tenured player on the roster.
He comes into 2012 having played 156 career games in
San Diego, 10th most all-time and most by a cornerback. He
had to miss a game in 2011 with a hamstring strain and it
was only the second one that he’s missed since 2002. The
other missed game was in 2007. Jammer, 33, is still one of
the top defenders in the game and one of its surest tacklers.
He boasts career totals of 670 tackles, including 568 unassisted, 18 interceptions and 121 passes defensed.
Jammer is one of the Chargers’ most giving community
supporters. The Jammer Family Foundation enjoys a partnership with San Pasqual Academy, a first-of-its-kind residential education campus for foster teens. Last year, he
and teammate Philip Rivers led a drive for the school to
generate the necessary funding to build a brand-new football stadium on campus and he and Rivers were featured
on ABC’s Good Morning America for their work with the
Academy. Jammer’s Foundation hosts an annual Thanksgiving Dinner for students and he regularly invites players
from the Academy’s football team to be his guests at
Chargers games and practices. He’s also provided them

JARRET JOHNSON
VETERANS &
RETURNING PLAYERS
Outside Linebacker
6-3, 260
10th NFL Season
1st with Chargers
The Chargers landed one of the top prizes in the NFL
free agent pool when outside linebacker Jarret Johnson
signed a four-year contract in March. The 6-3, 260-pound
standout was rated as the 14th-best available free agent
by SI.com. Johnson is expected to take over as the strong
outside linebacker in the Chargers’ 3-4 defense.
Johnson’s durability is one of the traits that made him so
attractive to the Chargers. He leaves Baltimore having
played in a team-record 129 straight regular-season games
for the Ravens, including 80 consecutive starts. Nicknamed
“J.J.” and “Double-J” by his Ravens teammates, Johnson
epitomized the term “blue-collar player” during his nine
seasons wearing the Ravens’ purple and black. His career
totals include 523 tackles, 20 sacks, three interceptions,
nine forced fumbles and 21 passes defensed.
Johnson, wife Anna, and daughter, Molly-Caroline, make
their offseason home in Niceville, Fla., close to Eglin Air
Force Base. Johnson has long been a supporter of our
nation’s armed forces and with San Diego’s large population of Marines and Navy personnel along with the team’s
outreach to area installations, Johnson should have no
problem feeling right at home in San Diego.
Johnson is an avid outdoorsman who loves to boat, hunt
and fish. Ironically, he loves the outdoors despite coming
from a family with a long and trying legacy of men who
made a living as commercial crabbers and fishermen.
Beginning with his great-grandfather, all of the men in the
Johnson family worked on the water, including his father,
Ludwig, who was tragically lost at sea when Jarret was just
two weeks shy of his eighth birthday. Johnson grew up
fishing with his father and his death took a severe emotional toll. It also left his mother, Aida, alone to take care of
Johnson and his sister, Mary Beth, with no job and no
insurance. She quickly got back on her feet though, finding

a job as an emergency response technician, while she also
returned to nursing school. The only drawback was that
the job required her to drive nearly 150 miles each day to
and from work. To aid the family after Ludwig’s death, one
of his dad’s best friends, Harry Rogers, who had worked on
oil rigs up in Alaska, relocated to Florida to help Aida and
provide Johnson with a father figure. And years later, Aida
moved the family to Chiefland, Fla., where Johnson
launched his football career on his way to becoming the
first male in the family to not work as a fisherman. For a
long time, Johnson resented the water and what it represented, but a couple of years ago while visiting Rogers in
Florida as he was fighting a losing battle with cancer, Johnson stumbled upon an old book that contained some of his
father’s old fishing logs. He discovered that his father not
only fished for a living, but worked as a fishing guide, a
fireman, and he even wrote a fishing report for the local
newspaper. This discovery and all that the books contained
helped provide Johnson with some closure and it rekindled
an interest in fishing and being on the water. Johnson even
recently disclosed that had the NFL lockout continued in
2011 that he was considering finding work as a commercial fishing guide, something that is now on hold until his
football career comes to a conclusion.
Johnson again lives on the water in Niceville where he
owns a 22-foot Pathfinder fishing boat. He has plans to
purchase an even larger vessel and name it the Hotspur in
honor of his great grandfather, a Danish immigrant whose
first fishing boat went by the same name.
And even though Johnson enjoys hunting and fishing,
he has a Chocolate Labrador Retriever and has been a
spokesperson for the Humane Society and several campaigns aimed at stopping animal abuse.

6-0, 187
9th NFL Season
9th with Chargers
The NFL’s most-accurate kicker of all-time (.865), Nate
Kaeding endured a mentally and physically-demanding
season in 2011. Shortly after he sent the season’s opening
kickoff airborn, Minnesota’s Percy Harvin took it back for
103 yards and a touchdown just 15 seconds into the season. Worse for Kaeding, while attempting to stop Harvin
during the return, Kaeding planted his left leg and his ACL
gave way, bringing a premature end to his ’11 season.
After nearly a full year of rehab, Kaeding’s leg is back to
100 percent and he’s looking forward to extending his
career as the NFL’s most accurate kicker.
Kaeding heads into 2012 having made 76 of his last 77
regular-season field goal tries from 40 yards or closer. He
made the Pro Bowl in 2009 after going 32 of 35, a franchise
single-season record for FG percentage (.914), and he
scored a team-record 146 points. He also made a personalbest 20 in a row to close out the ’09 regular season.

services of local golf pro, Derek Uyeda, to help improve his

leg swing. Uyeda attends Kaeding’s workouts, videotapes
his kicks and together they analyze his form and mechanics. Kaeding also sought the help of Jan Stenerud, one of
the best NFL kickers of all-time, and he’s trained at St. Vincent’s in Indianapolis, where professional trainers worked
with 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 invited him to a game and had him kick autographed footballs
to the crowd between innings. He is also part-owner of the
Short’s Burgers and Shine restaurant in Iowa City. And in
college, Bob’s Your Uncle Pizza and Cafe, named a pizza
after the former Hawkeye standout.
Kaeding and wife, Samantha, have two sons, Jack and
Wyatt. Samantha is a former school teacher. Nate earned a
teaching certificate in secondary education from the University of Iowa and completed the Character Education
Certification Program at the University of San Diego.

ters would sell. It worked and it taught all of the kids about
work ethic and discipline.
Liuget went on to have a standout career at Miami’s
Hialeah High School. Despite hailing from a close-knit family that tops 100 in number and a strong recruiting push
from the big in-state schools, Liuget opted to chart his own
path and enrolled at the University of Illinois. After a couple
of years in Champaign, Ill., Liuget grew homesick though
and contemplated returning home after his sophomore
season. Some tough love from his mom persuaded him to
stick it out and instead of moping over the situation, Liuget
used it as motivation. He lost 25 pounds between his
sophomore and junior seasons, and feeling re-invigorated,
had a career year for the Fighting Illini in 2010. Liuget then
chose to leave school a year early and apply for the NFL
Draft. The Chargers loved the toughness, tenacity and
relentless approach to the game that he showed and made
Liuget their first-ever first-round pick from Illinois.
Liuget appreciates living in San Diego, a military city, as
his two older sisters, Ideidre and Latronika, both serve our
country in the U.S. Army.

Corey Liuget had to grow up in a hurry as a San Diego
Chargers rookie and the team’s first pick in the 2011 NFL
Draft. He was drafted in April and handed a playbook
shortly thereafter, but due to the NFL lockout, he was
unable to work with coaches and teammates until the
lockout was resolved in late July. Furthermore, injuries hit
the defensive line hard and the young rookie was pressed
into immediate duty.
Liuget became the Chargers’ opening day starter at right
defensive end where he remained throughout the season.
He started 13 of the 15 games in which he played and his
numbers were solid with 26 tackles, five tackles for loss, a
sack, a forced fumble and three passes defensed.
Work ethic is one trait that was drilled into Liuget at an
early age. His father, DeJa, was killed while visiting Corey’s
grandmother in Haiti in 1993. It left Corey’s mom, Lorene,
to raise him and his four older brothers and sisters as a single parent in Miami’s housing projects. When her kids were
young, Lorene enlisted their help to make ends meet. She
would boil peanuts, make candy apples, conch fritters and
sweet potato pies, which Corey and his brothers and sis-

5th NFL Season
1st with Chargers
In late May, the Chargers signed Corey Lynch to provide
depth and experience in the defensive secondary and on
special teams.
Lynch came over as an unrestricted free agent from
Tampa Bay, where he spent the 2009-11 seasons. In his
last season with the Buccaneers, Lynch tallied 20 tackles,
an interception and four passes defensed. He also tied for
second on the team with seven special teams tackles.
Lynch came to the NFL from Division I-AA Appalachian
State where he helped lead the Mountaineers to three
straight national titles. A three-time All-American, Lynch
was perhaps best known as a collegian for blocking a
potential game-winning field goal in a 2007 34-32 win at
national Division I-A powerhouse Michigan. It was one of
six kicks he blocked during his college career.
Lynch’s NFL career began in 2008 when the Cincinnati

Bengals drafted him in the sixth round. He spent the 2008
and early part of the 2009 seasons in Cincinnati. In June
2009, Lynch was driving on an interstate in neighboring
Kentucky when he witnessed a van drive off the road and
plummet nearly 300 feet down an embankment. Lynch
quickly pulled over and raced down the embankment where
he found four people injured in the van. The most seriously
injured was a woman named Cynthia Brennan, whose neck
was smashed and pinned against a seat from the force of
the accident. Lynch helped free Brennan until emergency
personnel responded and his actions were largely credited
for helping save her life. Later that year, a healthy and
recovered Brennan visited Lynch at a Bengals practice.
Lynch’s wife, Cissie Graham Lynch, is the granddaughter
of evangelist Billy Graham. His brother, Colton, is a junior
defensive back at Harvard.

4th NFL Season
4th with Chargers
Vaughn Martin’s rapid rise from the Canadian college
ranks to becoming a premier NFL lineman took a major step
forward in 2011 when he started 15 games at left defensive end. Originally expected to be a regular in the line’s
rotation, Martin quickly moved into the starting lineup
when Luis Castillo suffered a fractured left tibia just minutes into the season’s opening game against Minnesota.
Martin started the Chargers’ final 15 games and posted
a career-best 49 tackles, second among defensive linemen.
Martin is a native of Lucea, Jamaica where he grew up
playing cricket and soccer. When Martin was nine, his
mother, Doreen, married a man who lived in Toronto and
Martin and his mother moved to Canada. They lived in
Toronto and then London, Ontario, which is where Martin
learned to play hockey and football. He began playing high
school football in the 10th grade and played just two collegiate seasons. In between, he played two seasons of summer ball in the Central Ontario Football League and played

for Team Canada at the 2006 NFL Global Championships,
where Team Canada went 5-0 and posted five shutouts
while Martin was named to the All-Tournament Team.
After high school, Martin spent a year at the Milford Prep
School in New York. He was ticketed to attend Michigan
State after prep school, but a mixup over his transcripts prevented him from becoming a Spartan. Instead Martin
enrolled at Western Ontario, where as a freshman he led
the Mustangs a conference title and Canada’s collegiate
national championship football game. Martin applied for
the NFL Draft despite having three seasons of college eligibility remaining, and he became the first Canadian underclassman to get drafted by an NFL team. Martin played
defensive end and tackle at Western Ontario, and played
fullback in the team’s short-yardage offense.
Martin was one of the most intelligent players to emerge
from the 2009 NFL Draft, scoring a 38 on the league’s
Wonderlic Test.

was that it included extensive travel. At the time, the
Mathews household had grown by one as Ryan’s best
friend, Dante, had moved in with them to escape a home
rife with drug use. With Tricia away working, Ryan and
Dante often had the apartment to themselves and as a
result, Ryan’s academics began a steady slide.
Things became particularly bad following a 235-yard, sixtouchdown performance by Mathews in the league championship game his junior year. With a D-average and on the
verge of being ineligible for his senior year, Mathews was
challenged by both his mother and Fresno State Head
Coach Pat Hill. It was a crossroads for the budding star. His
mother’s plea carried the most weight as she reminded him
of the sacrifices she made to raise him and it had a profound effect. Mathews fulfilled a promise to buckle down
in school. He maintained his eligibility and proceeded to put
together a 3,396-yard, 44-touchdown senior season that
had coaches calling from across the country.
Despite the attention, Mathews stayed true to his commitment to Fresno State’s Hill. A classic downhill runner with
a blend of power and speed, Mathews broke out as a junior
at FSU, rushing for a school-record and NCAA-leading 1,808
yards and 19 touchdowns. He tallied 17 runs of at least 20
yards and enjoyed some of his best days against the nation’s
top defenses, including a 234-yard, three-touchdown performance against Boise State. Mathews became the only
player in the nation to rush for more than 100 yards against
three 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 sacrifices
and right earlier wrongs, Mathews applied for early entry
to the 2010 NFL Draft. Ironically, one of Mathews’ childhood heroes was LaDainian Tomlinson and Mathews
secretly hoped to be drafted by the Chargers. Unbeknownst, the Chargers were so smitten with Mathews that
they traded up 16 spots to select Mathews with the 12th
overall pick in the first round. And coincidentally, he
became the first running back selected by the Chargers in
the first round since Tomlinson in 2001.
Mathews and his mom now oversee the Trish and Ryan
Mathews Door of Hope Chest Foundation. They partnered
with the Salvation Army and assist homeless women and
children transition to independent living.
In his free time, Mathews is a big
video gamer and one of his favorite
games is World of Warcraft. In January,
Mathews visited Blizzard Entertainment’s headquarters in Irvine, Calif. to
tour the facilities and meet the game’s
development team.

VETERANS &
RETURNING PLAYERS
Ryan Mathews made quite an ascent from year one to
year two of his NFL career, capping off a 1,500-yard season with an invitation to play in the 2012 Pro Bowl.
Chosen by teammates as the Chargers’ Offensive Player
of the Year, Mathews rushed for 1,091 yards in 2011 and
added 455 as a pass-catcher to become just the 14th player in team history to top 1,500 total yards from scrimmage.
He was originally tabbed a second-alternate for the AFC
Pro Bowl roster, but was invited when two players ahead
of him pulled out of the game. Mathews was deserving of
the honor after a season in which he ranked seventh in the
NFL in scrimmage yards, 10th in rushing yards and seventh
again in yards per carry.
Only the 10th player in team history to top 1,000 yards
rushing, Mathews really found his legs late in the season,
rushing for more than 100 yards in three-straight games
against Denver, Jacksonville and Buffalo. During that same
stretch, he put together a string of five-straight games in
which he had at least one run of 20 yards or longer. Only
two other players in franchise history, Natrone Means and
Paul Lowe, had similar streaks. Mathews’ average of 4.9
yards per carry became the sixth-highest in team history
(min. 200 attempts).
Mathews and backfield-mate Mike Tolbert also provided
a boost in the Chargers’ passing game as Mathews caught
50 passes and their combined total of 104 was the second-most by any running back tandem in the NFL.
Mathews was the Chargers’ first-round pick in the ’10
NFL Draft. As a rookie, he and Tolbert became the only running back duo in franchise history to score at least seven
rushing touchdowns each, and they became the franchise’s
first rushing duo to each top 600 yards since 1993.
Mathews’ path to the NFL was a difficult one. He was
raised by a single mother, Tricia, who gave birth when she
was just 16. With her own mother battling a drug addiction,
Tricia turned to relatives to find a place to stay and raise
Ryan. Unfortunately, Tricia ran out of options and ultimately settled on the backseat of her 1969 Oldsmobile Cutlass
Supreme. Their story is both heartbreaking and inspiring.
After several months of living in the car, bathing and washing Ryan’s clothes at a public park and feeding him from a
Riverside, California soup kitchen, Tricia found a stable
home with her grandmother, Glenna, in nearby Tehachapi.
With a roof over her head, Tricia found work while her
grandmother looked after young Ryan. Tricia worked up to
three jobs a day to save money and support her son. After
years of saving and living with Ryan’s grandmother, Tricia
had saved enough money to move them to Bakersfield,
where Ryan enrolled at West High School. It was there that
Tricia landed a well-paying job, but one of the drawbacks

The Chargers were ecstatic in March when they agreed to
terms on a three-year contract with two-time Pro Bowl and
two-time Associated Press All-Pro fullback Le’Ron McClain.
McClain spent the 2011 season in Kansas City, but he
spent his first four years with the Baltimore Ravens, including the 2008 season when he rushed for 902 yards, combined for 1,025 (including receiving yards) and scored 11
touchdowns. Tough, durable and dependable, McClain has
only missed one game due to injury in five NFL seasons.
A native of Alabama, McClain became one of the area’s
leading philanthropists when an EF4 tornado touched
down in Tuscaloosa, Ala. in April 2011, leveling homes and
businesses throughout the community.
McClain has been an active community participant since
entering the NFL. In 2007, he created the Learning Minds
Foundation, which emphasizes smart work, self-discipline,
focus, teamwork and respect. One element of the Foundation is McClain’s annual All-Star Football Camp that he hosts

On numerous occasions, Chargers Head Coach Norv
Turner has identified Randy McMichael as one of the
team’s most valuable players. He’s been an invaluable
backup to eight-time Pro Bowl tight end Antonio Gates,
who has battled foot injuries in recent seasons. As durable
as they come, McMichael has played in all 16 games in nine
of his 10 NFL seasons and he’s appeared in 148 career
games, starting 140. McMichael is utilized primarily as a
blocking tight end in San Diego’s offense, but he has consistently made big catches when his number’s been called.
A fourth-round pick by Miami in 2002, McMichael spent
his first two NFL seasons playing for Turner, then Dolphins’
offensive coordinator. McMichael became Miami’s most
prolific tight end, catching 283 passes for 3,096 yards
while not missing a single start in five seasons.
In 2011, McMichael became the 27th tight end in NFL
history to reach 400 career catches. Surprisingly, the player

Tulsa’s Booker T. Washington High to back-to-back state
titles following the 2001 and ’02 seasons. Football, however, was Meachem’s ticket to success so the Parade AllAmerica receiver took his talents to the University of Tennessee where he blossomed into an All-America choice.
Meachem opted to leave Tennessee after his junior season
and the Saints chose him with the 27th overall pick in the
’07 NFL Draft.
Meachem has a very spiritual side to him. It comes from
his late sister, Tammie, who was 12 years older and helped
raise Meachem as a child. She taught him about tough
love and helped him develop into a young man. Tammie
though suffered from severe asthma and a non-related
skin disease and she passed when Meachem was just in
seventh grade.
Meachem and his wife, Shea, have two daughters, Adrianna and Ryli, and they played a major role in his decision
to come to San Diego. The Meachems have been very
active in the community, hosting Christmas toy drives in
New Orleans while also running the Follow Your Dreams
Foundation, whose mission is to help youth get involved in
community activities and to help provide them with
avenues to participate in sports, music lessons and cultural
activities. In association with the Foundation, Meachem
awards college scholarships and he hosts a football camp
in Tulsa that is only open to kids who participate in his Read
60 Program, a literacy program that encourages young
people ages 8-18 to take 60 minutes each day to read.
One of Meachem’s distant cousins is former Chargers
wide receiver and kick returner, Eric Metcalf.

The Chargers didn’t wait long to snag one of the top
catches on the 2012 free agent market, agreeing to terms
with former New Orleans Saint Robert Meachem on a
four-year contract just hours after he became available. A
first-round pick in 2007 and a Super Bowl champion with
the Saints following the 2009 season, Meachem has an
impressive resume that includes 141 career catches, 2,269
yards (16.1 avg.) and 23 touchdowns.
The 27-year-old Meachem was ranked 47th on SI.com’s
list of the Top 50 available free agents in 2012 and he’s
expected to fit right into Norv Turner’s offensive system.
Meachem was raised in Tulsa, Okla., where he owns an
8.5-acre farm that his grandfather, Leon, passed down to
Robert when he was born. The farm is where he learned to
ride horses and rope calves before he turned six and it provided a safe haven from Tulsa’s notoriously violent street
gangs. Meachem’s dad, Robert, was an accomplished calf
roper himself and the two of them traveled to rodeos in
California, Nevada, Texas and Louisiana when Meachem
was 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 the
farm, Meachem would shoot baskets while sitting on his
horse. As a middle and high schooler, Meachem was one of
the nation’s best young players. As an
eighth grader, he led his AAU team to a
national title and in the ninth grade he
faced a team that featured LeBron James
and dunked over the Miami Heat star early
in the contest. His success on the hardwood continued into high school as he led

JONAS MOUTON
Inside Linebacker
6-2, 240
2nd NFL Season
2nd with Chargers
Mouton was the Big Ten Conference’s top tackler (117)
as a fifth-year senior at Michigan in 2010. He recorded an
impressive 264 total tackles as a three-year starter for the
Wolverines and the Los Angeles native was a second-team
All-Big Ten choice in 2010, also receiving the Wolverines’
Roger Zatkoff Award as the team’s top linebacker.
Mouton came from Venice High School, where he was
one of school’s best-ever players. On the first snap of his
first-ever high school game, Mouton knocked out a player
from rival Carson High. And in college he was given the
nickname “The Assassin” after several of the Wolverines’
foes met a similar fate.
2011: Injured shoulder during preseason...placed on
“Reserve-Injured” list Sept. 22.
totals include 44 games played and 34 starts, 264 tackles, 18
tackles for loss (-56 yards), three sacks (-28 yards), four interceptions, three fumble recoveries and seven passes defensed
...redshirted as freshman in 2006...played at Michigan from
2007-10...general studies degree.
COLLEGE: Selected as game captain three times during
senior season, including finale vs. rival Ohio State...final career

The Chargers were looking for big contributions when
they drafted Jonas Mouton in the second round in 2011,
but a shoulder injury in the preseason curtailed a promising
start to his career.
Mouton’s shoulder has recovered and now he’s hoping
to follow in the footsteps of another inside linebacker and
high draft pick, Donald Butler. Just like Mouton, Butler was
selected high - picked in the third round in 2010 - but he
also suffered an early injury, rupturing his Achilles tendon
during training camp. Butler missed the entire ’10 season,
but he came back and started all 16 games in 2011. Mouton hopes to pen a similar story.

5th NFL Season
3rd with Chargers
The trials and tribulations of Nick Novak’s NFL career are
the kind that would discourage most, but Novak has an
intense desire to succeed and he became a shining star for
the Chargers in 2011.
Novak went to training camp with the Chargers in 2010,
knowing chances were slim of taking the team’s kicking job
from Pro Bowler Nate Kaeding. The Chargers were the sixth
team Novak had spent time with after brief stints in Chicago,
Dallas, Washington, Arizona and Kansas City. After he was
released in 2010, Novak caught on with the Florida Tuskers of
the fledgling UFL, for whom he was named the league’s Special Teams MVP after hitting 15 of 18 field goals. But during
that same season when Kaeding suffered a groin injury, the
Chargers attempted to sign Novak but the UFL’s rules and
stipulations prevented the Chargers from doing so. When the
2011 season came around, a seventh team - the New York
Jets - sought out Novak’s services, but once again he lost a
hotly-contested competition, this time with veteran Nick Folk.
Disappointed, Novak returned to San Diego to live and
train. He happened to be having lunch with former NFL
kicker Michael Husted the day of the Chargers’ 2011 season opener against Minnesota when Kaeding injured his
knee on the game’s opening kickoff. Just days later, Novak
got the call he long waited for that the Chargers wanted to
sign him as the team’s replacement for Kaeding.
Novak went on to enjoy a storybook season for the
Chargers. A career 63.3-percent field goal kicker prior to
2011, Novak made his first 12 field goals for the Bolts,

including two in a three-point win over Kansas City, four in
a 10-point win over Miami and five in a five-point win at
Denver that included a then career-long 51-yarder and a
clutch 35 yarder with just 24 seconds left in the fourth
quarter. Novak finished the season 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, Novak
will be back to compete again with Kaeding in 2012.
Novak helped raise more than $7,500 for the American
Cancer Society in 2011. He contributed
$100 for every made field goal and the
total was matched by both the Chargers
and Novak’s agent. Novak was inspired
to help the ACS in memory of Annie Arth, a family friend
who died of ovarian and breast cancer in 2005.
Novak was born in San Diego, which makes his story
even more fascinating. He lived here until he was 13, when
his parents relocated to work at the University of Virginia.
One of Novak’s close friends growing up was Kellen
Winslow, Jr., son of the Chargers’ Hall of Fame tight end by
the same name. The two also share the same godmother.
Novak went to the University of Maryland after a stellar
high school football and soccer career in Virginia. He was a
scholar-athlete for the Terrapins and twice beat Philip Rivers
and North Carolina State with late fourth-quarter kicks.
This offseason, Novak participated in the NFL Business
Management and Entrepreneurial Program at the Harvard
Business School. He also vacationed in Bora Bora.

Parrish grew up in Miami and attended the University of
Miami, where he became a hometown star wide receiver
and punt returner. As a junior, he took a vicious hit in a
game against rival Florida State that landed him in the
intensive care unit for two days. Weeks later he endured
personal heartache when his grandmother, Jesse Anderson, who helped raise him, passed away the week before
the ’Canes faced Pittsburgh for the Big East title. Parrish
flew to Pittsburgh to meet his teammates after her funeral
and caught a 45-yard touchdown pass that helped put a
seal on the conference championship. Parrish opted to
leave Miami after his junior season in 2004 and the Bills
selected him in the second round of the ’05 NFL Draft.
Quiet and soft-spoken, Parrish enjoys spending time
with his kids, Roscoe III, Rohanni and London. He also likes
going to movies, listening to music and playing basketball.

VETERANS &
RETURNING PLAYERS
The Chargers added one of the NFL’s most-explosive
return specialists when they signed former Buffalo Bill
Roscoe Parrish.
His arrival in San Diego offers the veteran a chance at a
fresh start after an ankle injury ended his 2011 season
after two games and a wrist injury ended his 2010 campaign after eight games. Parrish posted record numbers as
a punt returner in Buffalo where he was a two-time AFC
Special Teams Player of the Week who averaged 12.0
yards per return while taking three punts back for scores.
He also became the first player in NFL history to return
punts for scores in back-to-back Kickoff Weekend games,
doing so in 2007 and ’08. Also in 2007 and ’08, Parrish led
the NFL in punt return average with figures of 15.3 and
16.3, respectively.
Parrish also racked up more than 1,500 receiving yards
and seven touchdown catches, while averaging 23.6 yards

VETERANS &
RETURNING PLAYERS
Shaun Phillips, one of the most energetic and exciting
players in the NFL, endured one of his toughest seasons as
a pro in 2011. Phillips was expecting big things coming off
his first Pro Bowl season in 2010, but a foot injury plagued
him for most of the early part of the ’11 season and eventually forced him to the sidelines for four games, his first
missed starts since 2007.
Phillips comes into 2012 fourth on the team’s all-time
sacks list with 60. He is within range of Lee Williams (third
with 65.5) and the late Gary Johnson (second with 67), and
considering that Phillips has had at least seven sacks in six
of his eight NFL seasons, he has a great opportunity to
pass both this season.
Phillips earned his first-career Pro Bowl invite in 2010
after helping the Chargers lead the NFL in total defense.
The team’s Defensive Player of the Year, Phillips paced the
squad with 11 sacks to rank 10th in the NFL. He also led
the Bolts with 16 tackles for loss and 19 quarterback pressures, while tying for the team lead with 15 quarterback
hits. In May 2011, the NFL Network ranked him 97th on its
list of the NFL’s Top 100 Players.
Phillips is one of the NFL’s most-recognized celebrities. He’s appeared at numerous red-carpet events and is followed on
Twitter by more than 437,000 fans. For

PHILIP RIVERS
17
Quarterback
6-5, 228
9th NFL Season
9th with Chargers
Off the field, Rivers was recognized as
one of three finalists for the prestigious
Walter Payton NFL Man of the Year
Award for his work with the Rivers of
Hope Foundation. Rivers and wife, Tiffany, launched the
Foundation in 2010 and focused on helping unwanted,
abandoned and orphaned children find permanent loving
homes. The Foundation has raised more than $650,000
through football camps and a 5K Fun Run, and Rivers personally contributes 100 percent of his off-the-field revenue to the Foundation. Additionally, Rivers and teammate
Quentin Jammer partnered to help fund a football stadium
for San Pasqual Academy, a first-in-the-nation residential
education campus designed specifically for foster teens.
Rivers originally came to the Chargers in 2004 in a
blockbuster trade with the New York Giants. Less than an
hour after the Bolts selected Eli Manning with the No. 1
pick in the ’04 NFL Draft, Manning was on his way to the
Big Apple in exchange for Rivers and a slew of draft picks.
Rivers spent the majority of his first two years on the sidelines behind Brees, taking the reigns in 2006. That ’06 season was memorable as Rivers was voted to the Pro Bowl
after leading the Chargers to a team-record 14 wins,
including 10-straight to close out the season. The Chargers
also finished undefeated at home for the first time in team
history. The ’06 squad scored a team-record 492 points
and Rivers achieved some notable marks along the way. He
became the first NFL quarterback to rally a team from 17point deficits in consecutive weeks, doing so on the road in
Cincinnati and Denver. During the two wins, Rivers was in
the midst of a streak of 19-straight scoring drives that
ended in touchdowns without settling for a field goal. That
too was a team record and it was the fifth-longest streak
in NFL history. Rivers finished the year as the NFL leader in
passer rating during the fourth quarter (116.6) and the
third and fourth quarters combined (99.3).
In 2007, Rivers led the Chargers to the AFC Championship Game. Including playoffs, the team put together an
eight-game winning streak down the stretch during which
Rivers completed 133 of 214 (62.1%) for 1,656 yards with
14 touchdowns and only five interceptions for a rating of
98.2, nearly 16 points higher than his cumulative season
rating (82.4). Rivers’ toughness, both mental and physical,
was put on full display in the final weeks of the regular
season and the playoffs. In a December victory at Tennessee, he had to leave the game after spraining his knee
in the first half, but he returned in the second half and led
the Chargers to a come-from-behind victory in overtime.
He continued to play and fought through the final month
of the season in severe pain. Then a different knee injury
sent him to the sideline in the Bolts’ Divisional Playoff
game in Indianapolis. After backup Billy Volek led the
Chargers to an improbable win over the Colts, Rivers had
arthroscopic surgery to repair a torn ACL on Monday and
just six days later he started and took every snap on a frigid
day in the AFC Championship Game at New England.

VETERANS &
RETURNING PLAYERS
One of the greatest quarterbacks ever to don a San Diego
Chargers uniform, Philip Rivers is the Chargers’ all-time
leader for career completion percentage (63.5%) and passer
rating (95.5). He’s led the Chargers to four AFC West titles,
is 66-37 (.641) as a starter (including playoffs), 26-10 in AFC
West games and 39-13 (.750) at Qualcomm Stadium.
Rivers is coming off a milestone season and embarks on
2012 closing in on 25,000 career passing yards and 200
career touchdown passes. He needs just 715 passing yards
to become the 63rd quarterback in NFL history to reach
25,000. And with 163 career touchdown passes, he needs
37 to reach 200, a mark reached by only 31 other signalcallers in league annals.
In 2011, Rivers completed a team-record 366 passes
and threw for 4,624 yards. He joined Dan Marino (198081), Warren Moon (1990-91), Peyton Manning (2009-10)
and Drew Brees (2010-11) as the only players in NFL history with back-to-back 4,500-yard passing seasons. And he
joined Manning (1999-04 and 2006-10) and Brees (200611) as the only quarterbacks with at least four-straight
4,000-yard seasons.
Demonstrating great peripheral vision and field awareness, four players had at least 50 catches for the Chargers in
2011, something that had only been done two other times
in team history (1984 and ’05). Also in 2011, Rivers built
upon his reputation as one of the NFL’s best quarterbacks
late in the season. He led the Chargers to a record of 3-1 in
December and increased his career passer rating for the
month to 99.9, second all-time behind Green Bay’s Aaron
Rodgers. Rivers’ December statistics include 6,323 yards
passing and a 3-to-1 touchdown to interception ratio (48
touchdowns and 16 interceptions). Rivers also owns the
NFL’s second-highest passer rating for Weeks 9-16 of the
regular season (97.8). As a starter, he is 41-12 (.774) in
regular-season games in November, December and January, including 26-3 in games in December and January.
Rivers’ 2011 totals included 27 touchdown passes, making him just the sixth quarterback in NFL history with at
least 25 touchdown passes in four straight seasons. He
joined an esteemed list that included Manning (19982010), Brett Favre (1994-98 & 2001-04), Marino (198488), Brees (2006-11) and Rodgers (2008-11).
While Rivers ranked in the top-10 in virtually every statistical category in 2011, he threw a career-high 20 interceptions, uncharacteristic for a player who had thrown a combined 57 in his previous five seasons. A majority of the picks
were thrown early in the season. As a testament to his
resiliency, Rivers bounced back later in the year to assemble
a career-long string of 170 passes without an interception,
easily surpassing his previous career-best of 143.
When the season concluded, Rivers was appointed to
his fourth-career and third-consecutive AFC Pro Bowl
squad and he was selected by teammates as the Chargers’
Most Valuable Player for a fourth-consecutive season.
Only the late Junior Seau (five) has been selected team
MVP consecutively in more years than Rivers.

Philip Rivers, continued
In 2008, Rivers topped Fouts’ team record for single-season touchdown passes and recorded his first 4,000-yard
season. He set a team record and led the league with a season rating of 105.5, joining Brees as the only Chargers QBs
to finish a season with a rating over 100.0. Cool under pressure, Rivers was the NFL’s second-leading passer on third
downs (110.7) and in the fourth quarter (111.7). He threw
an NFL-best 15 touchdown passes on third down and led
the Chargers to an NFL-high 152 points in the fourth quarter. He logged six 300-yard games in ’08, the most since
Fouts had seven in 1985. Rivers even did it in back-to-back
games, something not done by a Chargers quarterback
since 1991. And he capped off 2008 with a sensational
December, leading the Chargers to the playoffs. He went 40 to improve his career record in December to 14-0 and
completed 80-of-121 (66.1%) for 1,054 yards with 11
touchdowns and just one interception. His passer rating for
the month, a lofty 120.3, was second in the NFL.
The 2009 season saw Rivers selected to the Chargers’
50th Anniversary All-Time Team. He threw 28 touchdown
passes and posted a passer rating of 104.4. He was one of
just five NFL QBs in ’09 to pass for more than 4,000 yards,
throw 25 or more touchdowns and record a season passer
rating of 100.0-plus. Rivers’ passer rating was the NFL’s
third-highest in ’09, and four times — tied with Brett Favre
for most in the NFL — he posted a single-game passer rating
of 130.0 or better. Rivers also had four games in 2008
where he rated 130.0 or better and is the only quarterback
in team history to post four such games in a season. During
the team’s 11-game win streak to close out the regular season, Rivers completed 69.0% of his passes (209 of 303) for
2,735 yards and a rating of 112.0 while throwing 21 touchdown passes and only six interceptions. His passer rating
during those 11 weeks was the highest in the NFL.
In 2010, Rivers threw for a career-high and NFL-leading
4,710 yards. It was the 10th-most yards for a single season in NFL history and third-most in team history. Along
the way, Rivers set a new career high with six 300-yard
games, including a team-record 455 in Seattle. The 4,000yard season was Rivers’ third-straight, tying Fouts for the
most in team history. By the midpoint of the ’10 season,
Rivers had managed to throw for 2,649 yards, an NFL
record for the first eight games of a season, breaking yet
another mark which Fouts (2,580 in 1982) had previously
set. During the season, Rivers completed an NFL-leading
66 passes of at least 20 yards and 12 of those went for
touchdowns, second-most in the NFL. Rivers ranked second in the NFL in passer rating in ’10 (101.8). He was the
only quarterback in the league to post a season passer rating over 100 each of the 2008-10 seasons and he joined
Steve Young and Peyton Manning as the only passers ever
to post a rating of 100.0-or-higher for three straight years.
Rivers’ outstanding rating was aided by a a completion
record of 66.0% that set a team single-season record.
Rivers found the end zone with regularity in ’10, tossing 30
touchdown passes to become the first quarterback in team
history with 25 or more in three-straight seasons. It included a team-record stretch of 23 straight games with a
touchdown pass, surpassing the previous mark of 20straight set by Fouts in 1979-80. Amidst that streak was a
pair of four-TD efforts in consecutive games at Houston
and against Denver, equaling a feat that only Fouts (1985)
and Drew Brees (2004) accomplished for the Chargers.
Eleven different players caught touchdown passes from
Rivers in 2010, most in team history for a non-strike season.
Rivers grew up in Decatur, Alabama. His dad, Steve, a former linebacker at Mississippi State, was the head football
coach at Decatur High School and Philip was a water boy for
the team. Shortly before Philip was set to enroll at Decatur,
Steve took the head coaching job at nearby Athens HS and
Philip followed. He played linebacker as a sophomore and
moved to quarterback as a junior. Since his first season
under 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 Carolina
State, and 14-2 (2006), 11-5 (2007), 8-8 (2008), 13-3
(2009), 9-7 (2010) and 8-8 (2011) with the Chargers. A fivetime MVP in bowl games, including the 2004 Senior Bowl,
Rivers had a 3-1 bowl record at N.C. State.
The latest Rivers prodigy to emerge from Athens is
Philip’s younger brother, Stephen, who is a redshirt freshman quarterback at LSU and wears the same No. 17 that
Philip wears in San Diego.
Rivers and his wife Tiffany, have six children (four girls
and two boys). He is part-owner of two D1 Sports Training
and Therapy Centers located in Raleigh, North Carolina and
Huntsville, Alabama.

The Chargers added an experienced pass-catching tight
end when they signed Dante Rosario in March.
Rosario, who can help the Chargers as an extra blocker
as well as a pass-catcher, has 89 career catches for 1,011
yards and four scores.
A native of tiny Dayton, Ore., Rosario comes from a family with a rich athletic history. His father, Pedro, emigrated
to the United States from the Dominican Republic in 1964
to play baseball for the Milwaukee Braves. A left-hander,
he played eight seasons of minor league baseball before
his arm gave way, ending his career. Rosario’s late mother,
Yvonne, grew up in Dayton and was a star volleyball player
at Oregon State. Yvonne suffered from cancer and died in

5th NFL Season
1st with Chargers
The Chargers landed one of the NFL’s top free agent
offensive and special teams threats when they signed former Denver Bronco Eddie Royal to a three-year contract in
March. The Chargers had stiff competition for the Chantilly, Virginia native as his hometown Washington Redskins
were also in hot pursuit of the former Bronco.
Chargers fans will remember Royal’s exploits during a
nationally-televised ESPN Monday Night Football game in
2009 when he returned a kickoff and a punt for touchdowns in the first half of a 34-23 Broncos’ win. In total,
Royal has returned three punts and kickoffs for touchdowns and he’s one of only four players (former Charger
Darren Sproles, Minnesota’s Percy Harvin and Chicago’s
Devin Hester) in the NFL to total at least 2,000 yards from
scrimmage and 2,000 returns yards since 2008.
Compactly built at 5-10 and 185 pounds, Royal opened
eyes at the NFL Combine in 2008 when he bench-pressed
225 pounds 24 times, most among all receivers at the
Combine. The Broncos made him a second round pick that
year and he immediately let his presence be felt, racking up
nine catches for 146 yards and a touchdown in his NFL
debut against the Oakland Raiders. When the ’08 season
concluded, Royal earned All-Rookie honors from both Pro
Football Weekly and the Professional Football Writers of
America, as well as by The Sporting News after a season in
which 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 cateTRANSACTION HISTORY: Second-round pick (42) by Denver, April 26, 2008...signed with Broncos July 24...contract

game, 38-24 win at Oakland Nov. 6...became second Bronco
to return punt and catch pass for touchdown in same

touchdown Oct. 3 at Tennessee...included season-long 41yard catch vs. Titans. 2009: Set Denver record for receptions
through player’s first two years (128) while totaling secondmost receiving yards (1,325) during span...10 catches Oct. 11

Broncos’ history. 2008: All-Rookie pick by Pro Football

gories, he led all NFL rookies in those categories, and he
became the league’s first player since the NFL merger in
1970 to record his team’s longest run, reception, kickoff
return and punt return in the same season.
Royal’s career achievements are all the more remarkable
considering that he suffered from asthma as a child. Royal
was the youngest of Pearl Royal’s seven children and three
of his siblings also suffered from it. Fortunately, the Medical Care for Children Partnership (MCCP) in Fairfax, Virginia
provided the needed medical resources
and all four of the kids received the
treatment that they needed. Several
years ago when Royal signed an endorsement deal with a t-shirt company called Gameday Passion,
part of the agreement was that a portion of the proceeds
would support MCCP.
Royal’s sister, Capt. Christina Royal, is a graduate of the
Virginia Tech Corps of Cadets and she is currently a special
agent in the United States Air Force’s Office of Special
Investigations. Christina was the first-ever female regimental commander and the first-ever African-American regimental commander for the Corps of Cadets, where she
was in charge of all the cadets at the school. Royal’s brother, Chris, played defensive back at Marshall University from
2002-05 and he later played in the Arena Football and AF2
Leagues. In 2007, Chris was the 2007 Spalding Rookie of
the Year for the Wilkes-Barre/Scranton Pioneers of AF2.
Currently, he is a graduate assistant coach at Marshall.

When injuries decimated the Chargers’ offensive line late
in the ’11 season, the former honorable mention All-Big
Ten choice from Michigan was called upon to start two
games at guard in late-November, including his first start
at historic Soldier Field.
Schilling held his own and in that first start against the
Bears, the offensive line did not allow a sack. He started a
week later against Denver and spent the rest of the season
contributing on special teams.

Punter
6-2, 221
10th NFL Season
10th with Chargers
TRANSACTION HISTORY: Fifth-round pick (149), April 27,
2003…signed, July 19…signed four-year contract extension
through 2011, Nov. 3, 2005...signed five-year contract extension through 2016, Sept. 7, 2011.
2011: Game Ball after taking over for injured Nate Kaeding
and scoring first-career NFL points, including game-tying 40yard field goal with 10:05 remaining in fourth quarter to tie
game at 17-17...last made field goal in live game had been
56-yard game-winner with time expiring to give Western Illi-
ren Bennett on the roster, Smith drafted Scifres in the fifth
round in 2003.
Scifres cemented his resume as one of the NFL’s top
punters during an outstanding 2008 season when he set a
team record and ranked third in the league with a 40.9-yard
net punting average. He allowed zero or negative punt
return yards in seven games. He had only five touchbacks in
51 punts (9.8%) for the entire season and landed 19 those
of 51 attempts inside the 20. Among players with 40-ormore punts, only two others allowed fewer than Scifres’
146 return yards, and only five teams had more than 15
punt return yards against the Chargers all season.
Scifres’ outstanding season carried into the playoffs
where he enjoyed a record-breaking night in the Chargers’
AFC Wild Card Playoff win over the Indianapolis Colts. He
landed all six of his punts inside the 20, the highest number
and percentage of punts ever landed inside the 20 during a
playoff game. He also averaged a playoff-record 51.7 net
yards per punt as the Colts managed just six punt return
yards for the game. The Colts were forced to start drives at
their own 10, 19, 3, 7, 9 and 1-yard lines following punts.
Scifres’ last punt may have been his best, a kick that rolled
out of bounds at the 1-yard line, setting the stage for the
Chargers’ late fourth-quarter comeback.
Scifres also experienced postseason success against
Indianapolis in 2007 when he helped send the Chargers to
the AFC Championship Game with a dominating performance in the Divisional Playoffs at the RCA Dome. Scifres
set a team postseason record by averaging 59.0 yards per
punt. He saved his best for last again, hitting a postseason
team-record 66-yarder with the Bolts backed up at their
own 14-yard line and only 1:42 left in the fourth quarter.
Kicking from his own goal line, the Colts fielded Scifres’
punt at their own 20. That punt lit a fire on the Chargers’
sideline and the defense ended the Colts’ season on downs
four plays later, sending the Chargers on to the title game.
Scifres went to high school in Destrehan, La. One of his
prep 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 relegated
to kickoffs, field goals and extra points. Few would’ve
guessed that Scifres would turn out to be such a special
player. Scifres and Reed have remained friends.
Mike and his wife, Stacie, are parents to twin daughters
Berkeley and Bristyn.

VETERANS &
RETURNING PLAYERS
Mike Scifres (SIGH-fres) had quite a year in 2011. Just
days before the regular season opener, the Chargers signed
him to a five-year contract extension that will keep him as
the team’s punter through the 2016 season. When Scifres
put pen to paper though, little did he realize that within a
few days, he’d not only be called upon to handle punts, but
also kickoffs, field goals and point after tries after Nate
Kaeding suffered a season-ending knee injury on the opening kickoff of the season against Minnesota. Scifres, the
team’s backup kicker, coolly responded by nailing a gametying 40-yard field goal early in the fourth quarter, en route
to a 24-17 victory over the Vikings. It was his first made
field goal in a live game since his sophomore season at
Western Illinois when he kicked a 56-yard game-winner in
overtime against Northern Iowa for a conference title.
Beyond his heroics in Week 1, Scifres posted some eyepopping numbers in 2011. He averaged a career-high 47.5
yards per punt and fell just three attempts shy of qualifying for the team’s single-season record (min. 50). Scifres
punted 47 times in ’11 and finished the year ranked sixth
in the NFL in gross punting average. He had only two
touchbacks in 2011, tying his career low.
The franchise’s leader for career punting average (44.8),
Scifres is a member of the Chargers’ 50th Anniversary AllTime Team and a six-time Pro Bowl alternate (2004-09).
As he enters the 2012 season, Scifres is only eight punts
shy of 500 for his career. Only 86 players in NFL history
have punted more than 500 times. A look at what Scifres
has done with his first 492 punts shows some incredible
statistics. Only 204 of his punts have been returned and
among the group with more than 500 career punts (since
1970), the fewest number of returns a punter has allowed
is 207 by Ken Walter, who punted for Carolina, New England and Seattle from 1997-06. Similarly, Scifres’ 45
career touchbacks would be the fifth-fewest among punters for whom complete career data is available, showing
just how valuable a weapon he has been for the Chargers.
Scifres credits his career success to a workout regimen
that includes weightlifting and Pilates.
It was almost a fluke that Scifres ended up with the
Chargers. It happened on a recommendation from Kyle
Smith, the son of Chargers General Manager A.J. Smith. As
a freshman at Youngstown State, Smith had returned
punts against Scifres, who played for Missouri Valley Conference foe, Western Illinois. Less than a year after fielding
the call from Kyle, and despite having Pro Bowl punter Dar-

VETERANS &
RETURNING PLAYERS
Kory Sperry’s career has come full circle. Originally signed
by the Chargers as an undrafted rookie from Colorado
State in 2009, Sperry spent the ’09 season in Miami after
his release from San Diego. He was waived by the Dolphins
in 2010, claimed briefly by his hometown Denver Broncos
and then waived again, returning to the practice squad in
San Diego. But when injuries began to decimate the tight
end position, the Chargers brought Sperry up to the active
roster and the Vineland, Colo. native started his first game
of the ’2010 season against the Broncos.

TAKEO SPIKES

RETURNING PLAYERS
Inside Linebacker
6-2, 242
15th NFL Season
2nd with Chargers
It didn’t take long for veteran inside linebacker Takeo
Spikes to make an impression in San Diego. Immediately
upon arrival after signing a three-year contract in late-July
2011, Spikes set out to get to know everything and everyone he could inside the Chargers’ organization. At the start
of training camp, he made a point of sharing meals with
different groups of teammates so he could learn about
each of them and what made them tick. He struck up an
immediate kinship with the team’s offensive leader, quarterback Philip Rivers. And just weeks later before the season even started, teammates knew Spikes was a special
individual and voted him a team captain.
Spikes paced his new team with 119 tackles, his 11thcareer 100-tackle season, and he mentored fellow inside
linebacker Donald Butler, who was basically a rookie after
missing his entire rookie season with an Achilles injury.
Spikes’ experience resonated on Butler who ended up
ranking second behind Spikes in tackles with 102. At the
end of the year, teammates voted another honor for
Spikes, this time selecting him as the team’s Most Inspirational Player.
Over a 14-year NFL career that has seen him play in
Cincinnati, Buffalo, Philadelphia, San Francisco and now
San Diego, Spikes has become one of the NFL’s most popular players. He’s an 11-time team captain and is followed
by more than 390,000 fans on Twitter. With an eye toward
broadcasting, Spikes has a lengthy background in media. In
January, he spent a week doing interviews on various platforms at the ESPN studios in Bristol, Conn. and in February,
he was one of the most sought-out athletes to make the
rounds of media row at Super Bowl XLVI. While playing in
San Francisco from 2008-10, Spikes hosted his own Bay
Area 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 2012. Typically that type of tenure
is 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 to
reach the milestone. His first start in 2012 mark the 200th
of his career. And as further testament to his durability, at
the end of the ’11 season, Spikes was only one of eight
players taken in the first three rounds of the 1998 NFL
Draft to still be on an active roster.
Spikes isn’t your typical linebacker though and he has
devised unique training and conditioning methods that
UFA (San Francisco) - ’11
Auburn
Washington County HS
Sandersville, Ga.
have allowed him to play the game as long as he has. One
of which is a hyperbaric chamber in which he often sleeps
in his homes in San Diego and Atlanta, breathing pressurized pure oxygen while asleep. It’s a technique athletes use
to promote the recovery and healing of damaged tissue.
A native of tiny Sandersville, Ga., Spikes learned about
hard work from those who were closest to him. He grew
up about two hours from Atlanta where his mom, Lillie,
was a special education teacher at the local high school
and his father, Jimmie, spent 30-plus years working in the
chalk mines after working in the south’s infamous plantation fields as a youngster. Takeo spent several teenage
summers working alongside Jimmie in the mines where
father tried to teach son that there was a better life out
there for him. The lessons paid large dividends. Jimmie was
able to see his son’s dream of a professional football career
come true before he passed in 2001.
Spikes is still revered in Sandersville. His number is
retired at Washington County High School and pictures of
Spikes are strewn throughout the school’s athletic facilities. Over the years, he’s helped the school financially on
numerous occasions and in June 2012 he hosted a free
football camp at Washington County High for the 11thconsecutive year.
Spikes’ reputation as a leader extends beyond the locker
room and the playing field. In 2007, NFL Commissioner
Roger Goodell and the NFL Players Association appointed
Spikes to the first-ever Player Advisory Council, a six-man
committee established to advise Goodell on a wide range of
player issues.
In 2003, Spikes and former NFL linebacker Carlos
Emmons launched 51 Ways, Inc. (www.TakeoSpikes51.com),
a non-profit foundation that provides financial, spiritual and
physical resources to families that have children with cancer
or blood disorders. Both players grew up in Georgia and lost
family members to cancer.
Spikes enjoys playing golf in his free time. Teammates
often refer to him as “TKO” or “Spikedog,” but his parents
named him “Takeo” after Japanese Prime Minister Takeo
Miki, 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 word
that means “beautiful flower.”
Spikes’ cousin, Brandon (Spikes), is a starting linebacker
for the defending AFC Champion New England Patriots.
In March, Spikes, along with Carolina punter Jason Baker, former
NFL linebacker Dhani Jones,
Cleveland center Alex Mack and
Houston tackle Eric Winston took
part in a NFL-USO Tour and visited
several military bases in the Middle
East. Here Spikes is pictured at

5th NFL Season
1st with Chargers
The Chargers were aggressive this offseason in their search
for wide receivers and kick returners and their search landed
former Tampa Bay Buccaneer Micheal Spurlock.
In 2007, Spurlock became a hero in Tampa Bay when he
ended 32 years of futility by scoring the franchise’s firstever touchdown on a kickoff return.
Spurlock owns a career 25.1-yard kickoff return average
and he’s combined to post three returns for scores: two
kickoffs and a punt.
Spurlock hails from Indianola, Miss., the
same hometown as legendary blues guitarist
B.B. King. As a high schooler, he set a state
record when he scored all 71 of his team’s
points in a game, throwing nine touchdown
passes, scoring two more TDs on the ground
and kicking every one of his team’s extra points. An outstanding prep career led to a scholarship from the University of
Mississippi where he was recruited by Rich Bisaccia, who later
coached Spurlock in Tampa Bay and is now the Assistant

Gentry, Miss.
Head Coach-Special Teams for the Chargers. Spurlock had the
dubious distinction of following two-time Super Bowl-winning quarterback Eli Manning at Ole Miss.
Spurlock and his wife, Danielle, have four daughters,
E’Landria, Griselle, Macie and Payton. Having lived through
some of the cruelties of life in the NFL, Spurlock was cut
by Arizona in 2007 while his wife was eight-and-a-half
months pregnant and shortly after the couple had purchased a home. He then signed with Tampa Bay, but on
the day he called to inform the Buccaneers that his wife
was set to deliver and he needed to return to Arizona, they
also told him he was about to be released. Thankfully Spurlock re-signed shortly thereafter and remained with Tampa
Bay for the better part of the next five seasons.
Spurlock enjoys collecting movies. He started in college
and his collection now includes several hundred titles. Sundays are movie day in the Spurlock’s home as they gather
to watch movies after attending church.

The window of opportunity is wide open for third-year
safety Darrell Stuckey, who is expected to compete for the
team’s starting spot at strong safety in 2012.
Stuckey saw his first extensive playing time in 2011,
appearing in 14 games, where he was part of a three-way
tie for the team lead with 12 special teams tackles. A
fourth-round pick in 2010, Stuckey was expected to challenge for the strong safety spot as a rookie, but a hamstring injury during training camp slowed him throughout
the preseason and into the regular season, costing him a
shot at significant playing time.
Outgoing and gregarious, Stuckey is one of the Chargers’ most-active players in the community. As a student at
Kansas University, he was not only one of the school’s mosttalented athletes, but also one of it’s most popular and academically gifted. Raised by a single mother, Michele Foulks,

6th NFL Season
6th with Chargers
When the Chargers signed Eric Weddle to a new fiveyear contract before the 2011 season, a number of critics
questioned the team’s decision to offer one of the top
contracts for a safety who had yet to earn Pro Bowl status.
It didn’t take long for Weddle and the Chargers to prove
the naysayers wrong as he helped clinch two early-season
back-to-back wins with late fourth-quarter interceptions
on his way to a Pro Bowl season in which he tied for the
NFL lead with a career-high seven picks. And it wasn’t just
Pro Bowl accolades that Weddle earned, as a slew of AllPro accolades followed, accompanied by his selection as
the Chargers’ Defensive Player of the Year.
Weddle’s 2011 season got off to a fast start. In Week 3
against Kansas City, he sealed the Chargers’ 20-17 win
with a pick with 55 seconds left in the fourth quarter. A
week later with the Miami Dolphins in town, Weddle did it
again, picking off Chad Henne with 2:53 left and the
Chargers up 26-16. He became just the third Chargers
defender in the last 20 years to collect game-clinching
fourth-quarter interceptions in back-to-back games. Weddle was the secondary’s leading tackler for the fourthstraight season in 2011 as he collected 93 tackles, while
his eight passes defensed ranked second on the unit.
In 2010, Weddle was named second-team All-Pro by the
Associated Press after anchoring a secondary that ranked
first in the NFL in pass defense. The Chargers ranked 31st
among the NFL’s 32 teams in pass defense in 2008, Weddle’s first season as a starter, but it improved to 11th in
2009 before leading the league in ’10.
As a first-year starter in 2008, Weddle made an immediTRANSACTION HISTORY: Second-round pick (37), April 28,

team in total tackles, just one behind the team leader, and
he set a team record with an 86-yard fumble return for a
touchdown. Though he didn’t start as a rookie in 2007,
Weddle was part of a secondary that led the NFL with 30
interceptions. He capped off his first professional season
with a key goal-line interception off Peyton Manning in a
Chargers’ Divisional Playoff win over the Indianapolis Colts.
Weddle grew up in Alta Loma, about an hour north of
San Diego. His family are long-time Chargers fans.
Weddle and his high school sweetheart, Chanel, were married in La Jolla in July 2005. They have two daughters, Brooklyn Marie and Silver Jean, and a son, Gaige. They wed before
Eric’s junior season at Utah and lived near Utah State in
Ogden where Chanel went to school and played soccer for
the Aggies. Eric commuted nearly an hour each way to Salt
Lake City where the University of Utah is located for school
and football.
A special education major, Weddle tutored students
with learning disabilities. He made regular visits to Utah’s
Primary Children’s Hospital, spoke to children at schools
and youth correctional facilities, and volunteered with the
Salt Lake City Food Bank. In June 2011, Weddle returned
to Salt Lake to host his first Eric Weddle Football Camp.
Miami Dolphins defensive back and former Ute teammate,
Sean Smith, assisted Weddle with the three-day camp.
Weddle is an avid golfer who plays to a seven or eight
handicap and bowls once or twice a week, averaging in the
170s. Other hobbies include baseball, basketball and
watching movies.

CHARLIE WHITEHURST
Quarterback
6-5, 235
7th NFL Season
5th with Chargers
After a two-year sabbatical in the Pacific Northwest,
Charlie Whitehurst returned to San Diego in March and
will go into the 2012 season as the backup to Philip Rivers.
Two years ago, the Chargers traded Whitehurst to the
Seahawks for a second round choice in the ’10 NFL Draft
and an additional third-round choice in the 2011 draft.
Whitehurst spent two seasons in Seattle, helping the Seahawks clinch the NFC West title in 2010 by leading them
to a Week 17 victory over the St. Louis Rams in an NBC
Sunday Night Football contest.
An honor roll student throughout his college career at
Clemson, Whitehurst earned his degree in marketing in
December 2004, a full year before his eligibility expired. He
left the Clemson, South Carolina campus as the Atlantic
UFA (Seattle) – ’12
Clemson
Chattahoochee HS
Alpharetta, Ga.
Coast Conference’s third all-time leading passer. One of
the players who ranked ahead of him was Rivers, who
spent his collegiate career at North Carolina State.
Whitehurst’s dad, David, was also an NFL quarterback.
He played for the Green Bay Packers from 1976-83. When
the Chargers played at Lambeau Field in 2007, the Packers
were hosting the team’s annual alumni weekend and the
entire Whitehurst family made the trip to Northern Wisconsin to take part in the festivities and watch the Chargers play.
Whitehurst’s sister, Carrie, also went Clemson on an athletic scholarship. She was a forward on the school’s
women's basketball team.

DEMORRIO WILLIAMS
Outside Linebacker
6-1, 235
9th NFL Season
1st with Chargers
The story of Demorrio Williams’ rise to the NFL is one
that very nearly did not get written.
Williams grew up in tiny Beckville, Texas, where he was
raised by his mom, Veronica, and grandmother, Ellaweize
Jones. An uncle, Dexter, who helped raise him was accidentally electrocuted and died when Williams was just four
years old. Despite the long odds, Williams thrived in Beckville
and by high school, he had become a feared safety who hit
anything that moved. Williams, however, was just 170
pounds and major college recruiters considered him too
small to play the position at the next level. He instead
enrolled at Cisco (Tex.) Junior College, but lasted there only
two weeks when homesickness led him back to Beckville. A
close friend helped him find a job back home, where he
worked 12-hour days in the town’s oil fields. It was backbreaking work. That same friend, Jay Hightower, convinced
Williams that he should give football one more try.
This time, Williams enrolled at Kilgore (Tex.) College and
it was a perfect fit. As a linebacker, he led the Rangers in
tackles his first season and sacks his second en route to
earning Junior College All-America honors. The Nebraska
UFA (Kansas City) - ’12
Nebraska
Beckville HS
Beckville, Tex.
Cornhuskers took notice of the budding star and as soon
as they offered him a scholarship, Williams accepted. He
had an outstanding career at Nebraska where he became a
first-team All-Big 12 pick and graduated with a degree in
sociology. In 2004, the Atlanta Falcons selected him in the
fourth-round of the NFL Draft with the 101st overall pick.
Fast-forward to 2012 and Williams is about to begin his
ninth NFL season. He spent his first four years with the
Falcons and his last four with the Kansas City Chiefs. Twice
he’s posted more than 100 tackles: 132 with the Falcons in
2005 and 142 with the Chiefs in 2009. He’s also been a
beast on special teams, racking up 54 career tackles, while
returning a blocked field goal for a touchdown. Equally as
impressive, Williams has missed only four games in his NFL
career. He had played in 123-straight games, including
playoffs, before he was inactive for four games with the
Chiefs last season due to a groin injury, but he returned
and played in Kansas City’s final four games.
Williams is still hailed as a star in Beckville and he has
returned to his hometown for the last several years to host
a football camp at his former high school.
TRANSACTION HISTORY: Fourth-round pick (101) by
Atlanta, April 25, 2004...signed with Falcons July 13...resigned with Falcons, April 23, 2007...signed with Kansas City
as unrestricted free agent, March 3, 2008...released March 6,
2012...signed one-year contract with Chargers, March 14.
COLLEGE: Second-team All-America honors as freshman
and first-team as sophomore at Kilgore (Tex.) College...led
Southwest Junior College Conference with 130 tackles as
freshman in 2000...racked up 127 tackles, nine sacks and two
interceptions as sophomore...first-team All-Big 12 at Nebraska as senior...in two seasons, registered 220 tackles, 12 sacks,
four forced fumbles, one pick and eight passes defensed...
school-record 83 solo tackles, 11 sacks and four fumble
recoveries as senior in 2003...sociology degree.

MIKE WINDT

Long Snapper
6-1, 252
3rd NFL Season
3rd with Chargers
It was through a rather remarkable turn of events that
led Mike Windt to become the Chargers’ long snapper as a
rookie in 2010. After injuries sidelined David Binn, James
Dearth and Ryan Neill, and the Chargers cut veteran Ethan
Albright, they turned to the Cincinnati native and NFL
rookie, who was solid through the team’s final 11 games.
Windt’s accurate snaps helped stabilize an erratic season
Cincinnati
Elder HS
Cincinnati, Ohio
for the Chargers’ kicking duo of Nate Kaeding and punter
Mike Scifres.
In 2011, Windt won a training camp competition with
Binn, the Chargers’ all-time leader for career games played
and retained the job as the team’s long snapper. Windt
had a flawless season for the Chargers in 2011 and the
team is looking for him to continue to get better.

the 18th overall pick in the first round.
A jack-of-all-trades at South Carolina, Ingram posted the
fourth-most sacks in school history and the fifth-most
tackles for loss. A team captain and full-time starter as a
senior, he helped the Gamecocks rank third in the nation in
total defense and 11th in scoring defense. Ingram returned
two fumbles for touchdowns, played special teams and
scored a touchdown on a 68-yard run during a fake punt
against Georgia in 2011. It all led toward him being named
just the third consensus first-team All-America in South
Carolina history and the first since 1984.
Ingram was also part of a resurgence at South Carolina

that peaked when the Gamecocks won a school-record 11
games in his final season, going 11-2, including a 30-13 win
over Nebraska in the Capital One Bowl on New Year’s Day.
Ingram’s athleticism and versatility led teammates to
nickname him “Super Melvin” in high school. Ingram can do
a standing back-flip, he can dunk a football over the crossbar, he can dunk a basketball with ease and he can throw a
football more than 70 yards.
Ingram spent most of his life in a single-parent household after his father, George Melvin, died when he was
young. His mother, Nancy, taught him to be humble, but
his dad had taught him that big-time players make bigtime plays in big-time situations. It’s a message that’s stuck
with Ingram throughout his football career.

Rookie
The Chargers used their second-round pick on Kendall
Reyes from Connecticut, a versatile player who lined up at
all positions along the defensive line for the Huskies. Reyes
was a two-year team captain and a two-time first-team AllBig East Conference pick. As a senior in 2011, he was
named to a long list of postseason award watch lists,
including the Lombardi Award and the Outland Trophy.
Reyes was one of the quickest players to come out of the
Big East Conference and he really impressed NFL coaches
and scouts during practices in the week leading up to the

10th-most tackles for loss in school history (32.5) and he’d
intercepted two passes, returning one for 79 yards in 2010
that was the seventh-longest in the UConn record books.
Reyes is from Nashua, N.H., where he scored the first-ever

BRANDON TAYLOR
Strong Safety
5-11, 210
Rookie
The Chargers knew Brandon Taylor was a special player
so it was no surprise when the team engineered a trade
with Miami to move up five spots in the third round to
select the former LSU Tiger with the 73rd overall pick of
the 2012 NFL Draft.
Taylor grew up in Franklinton, La., the second-youngest
of Curtis and Annette Taylor’s nine children. He was
groomed and toughened by two older brothers, Curtis and
Jhyryn, both of whom played for the Tigers. But Taylor
charted his own path in football, making a challenging
switch from cornerback to strong safety. His willingness to
sacrifice for the team made him one of LSU’s most popular
players. Before his senior season, head coach Les Miles
called Taylor into his office and informed the team captain
89
that he’d been chosen to wear the Tigers’ coveted No. 18
jersey. In a tradition that was born in 2003, the LSU coaching staff picks one player who exemplifies character and
leadership to wear the No. 18 jersey each season. Chargers
teammate Jacob Hester also was selected to wear No. 18
during his career in Baton Rouge. Taylor wasn’t finished
there. He also had another honor bestowed upon him by
teammates as he was selected to stand in the rally circle
before each game to fire up the team. Both gestures were
tremendous honors for the Louisiana native.
Brother, Curtis, played on LSU’s National Championship
team in 2007 and was drafted by the San Francisco 49ers
in 2008. He’s currently a reserve cornerback with the Oakland Raiders.

LADARIUS GREEN
Tight End
6-6, 240
Rookie
The Chargers used their fourth-round pick in the 2012
NFL Draft to select rangy tight end Ladarius Green from
Louisiana-Lafayette. San Diego football fans will remember Green from his five-catch, 121-yard, one-touchdown
effort against San Diego State in the 2011 New Orleans
Bowl. Now in San Diego, the Chargers believe he can be a
big-play complement to Antonio Gates.
A three-time All-Sun Belt League choice, the 6-6, 240pound Green caught 149 passes for 2,201 yards and 22
touchdowns during his career with the Ragin’ Cajuns. His
22 touchdown catches were second-most in school history behind current Denver Broncos wide receiver Brandon

Green also excelled in the classroom, earning a degree in

about one day pursuing a career in investment banking.
Green was born in Berlin, Germany, while both of his
parents served in the military.
Despite his 6-6 frame, Green’s nickname is “Pee Wee.” It
is a moniker he was given as a high school junior when he
stood just 5-10, but even though he hit a major growth
spurt shortly thereafter, the name stuck and his teammates still refer to him as Pee Wee.

The Chargers used their fifth-round selection in the

Penn State.
Troutman started the last three seasons at left guard for
the Nittany Lions without allowing a sack. He was credited
for throwing 38 touchdown-resulting blocks during his
career and as a senior in 2011 he wasn’t flagged for a single penalty. During his junior and senior seasons, Penn

New Jersey’s Division I College Player of the Year.
Troutman battled several injuries prior to the draft, including surgery for a pectoral injury in April. Despite the diagnosis, the Chargers still liked what they saw from the former

DAVID MOLK

Center
6-1, 300
Rookie
The Chargers selected Michigan center David Molk, winner of the 2011 Rimington Award as the nation’s best center, with their first of two seventh round picks.
The 6-1, 300-pounder was a finalist for the Rimington
Award in 2010; he was a consensus first-team All-America in
’11, as well as a first-team All-Big Ten pick his final two seasons in Ann Arbor. When Molk won the Rimington Award in
2011, he became only the second Wolverines player to win
the award and he was the school’s first outright winner.
Molk drew raves at the ’12 NFL Combine after posting
the most bench-press reps among centers at 225 pounds
(41). It’s not surprising considering that in 2009, ’10 and
’11, the National Strength and Conditioning Association
named Molk its Athlete of the Year.

Molk plays the game with a heavy heart and with a chip
on his shoulder. Tragically, he lost his mom to cancer when
he was in the eighth grade and it pushed him to work hard.
He started every game at center as a redshirt freshman in
2008 and he started every game at Michigan during his
junior and senior seasons until his final collegiate contest,
the 2012 Sugar Bowl against Virginia Tech.
During pregame warmups for the bowl game, Molk felt a
pop in his foot and coaches decided to sit the fifth-year
senior. As he watched the offense struggle on the first
series due in part to a couple of errant snaps, Molk put himself into the game for the second series and didn’t miss a
snap the rest of the way as the Wolverines rallied for a 2320 win over the Hokies.

Qualcomm Stadium (San Diego, CA)
New England Patriots 35, San Diego Chargers 21
Gillette Stadium (Foxborough, MA)
The Chargers opened the season with a 24-17 win over the Vikings, overcoming a
fourth-quarter deficit and scoring 17 unanswered points in the win. Philip Rivers passed
for two touchdowns, including the game-winner to Mike Tolbert at 5:01 of the fourth
quarter. San Diego’s defense dominated the Vikings, holding them to just 187 yards of
total offense and just 26 in the second half. After the Vikings’ second touchdown of the
game at 9:44 of the second quarter, they didn’t manage to cross the 50-yard line into
Chargers territory for the rest of the game. The Chargers finished the game with 31 first
downs to the Vikings’ 10, and possessed the ball for 37:17 to Minnesota’s 22:43.
The Chargers lost a heartbreaker to the Patriots, falling by a 35-21 score at Gillette
Stadium in Foxborough. San Diego turned the ball over four times leading to 10 Patriots points, including a fourth-quarter fumble just three plays after stopping the Patriots on downs near midfield in a six-point game. The Patriots answered with a touchdown and two-point conversion to stretch their lead to 14. Tom Brady was nearly
flawless for New England, completing 31 of 40 (77.5%) for 423 yards with three
touchdowns and no interceptions.

San Diego Chargers 20, Kansas City Chiefs 17
San Diego Chargers 26, Miami Dolphins 16
Sunday, October 2, 2011
The Chargers didn’t trail the entire afternoon and withstood a furious comeback
effort by Kansas City in defeating the Chiefs, 20-17, at Qualcomm Stadium. San
Diego led 10-0 at the break after a dominating first two quarters in which they held
the Chiefs to just 34 total yards and no first downs. The Chiefs rallied to get within
three points late in the fourth quarter and had the ball with a chance to tie or take the
lead, but Eric Weddle sealed the victory for the Chargers with an interception at the
Bolts’ 49-yard line and just 55 seconds left, allowing the offense to take a couple of
kneel-downs to close out the win.
The Chargers matched their best start since 2006 (3-1) by defeating the Miami Dolphins, 26-16. For the second week in a row, a late fourth quarter interception by Eric
Weddle helped seal the opponents’ fate. The Chargers fell behind early, 7-0, but tied
the game on a long pass from Philip Rivers to Vincent Jackson and the Chargers
never trailed again.

San Diego Chargers 29, Denver Broncos 24
Sports Authority Field (Denver, CO)
New York Jets 27, San Diego Chargers 21
Met Life Stadium (San Diego, CA)
The Chargers improved to 4-1 and picked up their first road win of 2011, hanging on
for a 29-24 victory at Denver’s Sports Authority Field. The Chargers led 23-10 at the
half and dominated the Broncos statistically. Denver’s lone touchdown came via a 55yard interception return. Tim Tebow came on for an ineffective Kyle Orton in the second half and led the Broncos to a pair of fourth quarter touchdowns, but the Chargers’
defense prevented a third in the game’s final seconds as the Bolts hung on for the win.
The Chargers could not hold on to an 11-point first half lead as New York rallied for 17
points in the second half en route to a 27-21 win over the Chargers at Met Life Stadium. The Jets took advantage of two Philip Rivers interceptions in the fourth quarter,
one of which came off a tipped pass, leading to all 10 of the Jets’ fourth-quarter points.

Monday, October 31, 2011
Arrowhead Stadium (Kansas City, MO)
Green Bay Packers 45, San Diego Chargers 38
Sunday, November 6, 2011
The Chargers dropped a heartbreaker to the Chiefs on ESPN’s Monday Night Football,
falling in overtime, 23-20. The Chargers trailed nearly the entire night and by as many
as 10 points, but a touchdown and two-point conversion tied the game at 20-20 with
7:11 left in the fourth quarter. After a defensive three-and-out, the Chargers had the
ball and were driving for a potential game-winning score when Philip Rivers fumbled
a snap deep in Chiefs territory with less than a minute remaining. The game went to
overtime and the Chargers won the coin toss and took possession, but a Tamba Hali
sack contributed to a three-and-out by the Chargers on their first possession. Kansas
City made the Bolts pay, driving 69 plays in 14 yards and Ryan Succop won the game
on a 30-yard field goal 9:44 into the extra session.
The Chargers hosted the defending Super Bowl Champions in front of the thirdlargest home crowd in franchise history and the Chargers fought the champs toothand-nail to the end before dropping a hearbreaking 45-38 defeat. Despite two interception returns for touchdowns by the Packers and a 21-point deficit in the fourth
quarter, the Chargers rallied to get within seven points and had the ball at the end of
the game in Packers’ territory with a chance to tie and send the game to overtime, but
an interception with 14 seconds left sealed the victory for Green Bay.

Chicago Bears 31, San Diego Chargers 20
Soldier Field (Chicago, IL)
The Chargers suffered yet another heartbreaking loss and gave up a share of the lead in
the AFC West after falling to arch-rival Oakland, 24-17, in a Thursday night game at Qualcomm Stadium. The Chargers scored a field goal on their opening possession of the
game, but then were silenced for the remainder of the half as the Raiders ran off 17
unanswered points. Oakland dominated the Chargers in first downs (13 to 3), total yards
(293 to 65) and time of possession (19:35 to 10:25). The Chargers rallied with 14 points
in the third quarter to climb back within seven, but Oakland held the Bolts at bay in the
final period, closing out the victory with two late takeaways against the Chargers’
offense.
The Chargers dropped their fifth-straight game on a cold in windy day in Chicago’s
Solider Field, falling to the Bears, 31-20. With four new starters on offense, including
three on the offensive line, the Chargers put up a valiant effort against the Bears,
matching them score-for-score until late in the third quarter. Looking to answer following a score that gave Chicago a 24-17 lead, the Chargers turned the ball over and
the Bears capitalized quickly with a two-play drive for a touchdown and a 31-17 lead.
The Chargers scored three early in the fourth quarter to trim the deficit to 11, but two
more fourth-quarter turnovers proved costly and Chicago held on for the win.

Denver Broncos 16, San Diego Chargers 13 (OT)
San Diego Chargers 38, Jacksonville Jaguars 14
Monday, December 5, 2011
EverBank Field (Jacksonville, FL)
San Diego’s losing streak stretched to six games as the Denver Broncos handed the
Chargers a 16-13 setback in overtime at Qualcomm Stadium. Matt Prater’s 37-yard
field goal with 29 seconds remaining in the overtime session decided the outcome.
The Chargers led 10-0 early, but a long punt return late in the second quarter, followed
by a missed opportunity to scoop up a loose fumble, led to a Broncos touchdown that
trimmed the Chargers’ lead to 10-7 at the half. The Chargers had the ball in Denver
territory twice in the second half but could only muster a field goal and the Broncos
tied the game late in the fourth on a kick by Prater. The teams traded possessions early
in overtime and then the Chargers put together a 10-play, 45-yard drive, but Nick
Novak’s 53-yard potential game-winning field goal went wide right and the Broncos
took over. Tim Tebow moved the Broncos 38 yards in six plays, including a 24-yard
run by Willis McGahee, and that drive set up Prater’s game-winning kick.
The Chargers snapped a six-game losing streak in emphatic fashion, handing the Jacksonville Jaguars a 38-14 setback before a national TV audience on ESPN’s Monday
Night Football. The Chargers scored early to take a 10-0 lead, but saw it evaporate
when Jacksonville scored touchdowns on consecutive drives to go up 14-10. But then
San Diego put the pedal to the metal, scoring 14 points in the final 1:26 of the second
quarter and adding seven more early in the third quarter to take a commanding 31-14
lead. In all, five different players scored touchdowns as the Chargers matched their
season-high for points in a game.

San Diego Chargers 37, Buffalo Bills 10

San Diego Chargers 34, Baltimore Ravens 14
Sunday, December 18, 2011
The Chargers won their second in a row and the 400th game all-time in franchise history, returning home on a short week and rolling to a 37-10 win over the Buffalo Bills.
The Chargers scored first and led 16-10 at the half, but early in the third quarter the
Bills kicked a field goal and then 92 seconds later recovered a ball in the end zone that
had slipped out of Philip Rivers’ hands and suddenly they trailed just 16-10. The Bills
stopped the Chargers in three plays, but facing a 4th-and-2 from their own 30, Norv
Turner called for a fake punt and up-back Eric Weddle sprinted 10 yards for a first
down. Seven plays later, Rivers threw a two-yard touchdown pass to Antonio Gates
and the Chargers pulled away for the win.
The Chargers played perhaps their best game of the season, dominating the 10-3 Baltimore Ravens en route to a 34-14 victory before a national-television audience on
NBC’s Sunday Night Football. The Chargers scored on six of their eight offensive possessions and didn’t punt a single time against a Ravens defense that came into the
game ranked third in the NFL. The Chargers scored on their first five offensive possessions, the first time an opponent had ever done that to Baltimore (254 total
games). The Chargers blew open a 17-7 game at the half with 14 unanswered points
in the third quarter en route to the victory which evened the team’s record at 7-7 and
kept them alive in the AFC playoff race. San Diego’s defense recorded a season-high
seven sacks.

Ford Field (Detroit, MI)
San Diego Chargers 38, Oakland Raiders 26
Sunday, January 1, 2012
O.co. Coliseum (Oakland, CA)
The Chargers’ late-season run toward the playoffs and the team’s three-game winning streak came to a screeching halt in Detroit’s Ford Field as the Lions handed the
Bolts a 38-10 setback and themselves qualified for the NFL’s postseason for the first
time since 1999. Detroit dominated the first half, jumping out to a 24-0 lead behind a
nearly-flawless Matthew Stafford who was 21 of 26 for 260 yards and three touchdowns at the break. The Chargers finally scored in the third quarter and then recovered an onside kick to climb within 10 points at 24-10 but could do no further damage as Detroit scored the last 14 points en route to the win.
The Chargers ended their season on a winning note, knocking off their arch-rivals, 3826, to finish the season 8-8 and eliminate the Raiders from the playoff hunt. The
Chargers staked out to a 24-13 haltime lead, one that could’ve only been eight points
had time not run out for Oakland to attempt a field goal at the end of the second
quarter. The Raiders outgained the Chargers in total yards, 520-463, but key red-zone
stops kept Oakland out of the end zone and proved the difference in the game.
