Chargers offensive lineman D.J. Fluker had a very good rookie season, but a forgettable sophomore campaign. He battled a right leg injury for most of the year and was never fully right physically.
After the last practice of the 2015 Chargers Mini-Camp, Fluker admitted he had more trouble dealing with the ailment than he was letting on. But, he says, this year that's not going to be an issue.
"Playing hurt? It happens," said Fluker. "Everybody goes through injuries. It's about being able to push through it and keep on fighting. You've gotta have a little heart to you. If you don't have heart you can't play this game, and that means a lot to me."
Fluker addressed the leg during his off-season training and believes he's put it behind him.
"This year I'm healthy, so I'm going to play my tail off."
The question now is, which position will he be playing? Tackle? Guard? Tight end? Believe it or not, in this video, Fluker says he can be a threat catching the ball, and he has visual evidence to prove it.
