GENERAL INFORMATION
Earlier this year, the Chargers' family lost two of its members with the passing of
Ernie “Big Cat” Ladd and Ernie Wright (inset). The 6-9 Ladd, who played defensive end
for the Chargers from 1961-65, was one of the most-feared pass rushers in NFL
history. Wright, an offensive tackle who stood at 6-4 and 270 pounds, was an
original Los Angeles Charger, playing with the team from 1960-67 and again in 1972.
He was a three-time AFL All-Star and a member of the 1963 AFL Championship team.
