Football players don’t go to West Point thinking they’re on the fast track to a National Football League career. In the last 50 years only two Black Knights have been selected in the NFL Draft. But sometimes they turn out to be better than they even knew. That’s the case with linebacker Cole Christiansen, who signed as an undrafted...

The last time the Chargers had a starting quarterback who went to Oregon it worked out pretty well. That guy’s name was Dan Fouts. So, Justin Herbert has some big shoes to fill. The Bolts took Herbert with the 6th overall pick in the 2020 NFL Draft. It’s the first time they’ve selected a QB in the first round...

The 2020 NFL Draft is going to be different as teams must do things virtually. It’s also potentially going to be wild. At least, that’s what I’m hoping for.

Football Night in San Diego’s Greg Camarillo and Rich Ohrnberger weigh in on the challenges of the draft’s unique format in 2020, and look ahead to the major storylines.

The San Diego sports stars each have a message that is aimed at following the coronavirus guidelines, each with a message urging San Diegans to “get off the field and stay on the bench.”

Next week, from Thursday through Saturday, the NFL Draft will be held as scheduled. It’ll be done in a virtual setting with picks being sent in from training facilities across the country. Typically, teams would have prospects come in to their facilities and spend hours upon hours with them, breaking down tape and working out and getting to know...

It is no secret that the Chargers haven’t been able to stop the run in the last few seasons. On Wednesday, they signed free agent defensive tackle Linval Joseph to a two-year deal worth $17 million.

This will be different. Whether in San Diego or Los Angeles, right before a Chargers home game the announcer would say, “at quarterback….PHILIP RIVERS!” The crowd would erupt because that was their quarterback. Now, heading into the 2020 season, no one is quite sure who the Chargers quarterback will be. After 16 seasons of seeing no. 17 under center, the…

This is one of those days that you celebrate … even though it makes you sad. One of the most influential figures in the history of San Diego media is retiring. You probably don’t even know his name but there is no doubt you know what he’s done. You’ve seen it thousands upon thousands of times. NBC 7 photojournalist...

The legend himself takes us through some of the bright spot of his career. Thanks Dave.
