Only four players have ever worn #49 in Charger history… and NONE since 1984! I can’t honestly say that one player stands out above the others. More like one nudges out the others.
The "Nudge"
Jimmy Warren, DB

Warren played a total of 2 seasons for the AFL Chargers (post championship) and, as a starting corner, had a couple of pretty decent years. He collected 7 interceptions in that time, and had a nice kick return average of over 27 yards. But for some reason, the Chargers had enough of him and sent him to Miami in 1966 – where he became an AFL All-Star! (And even had a few good years with the Raiders of the early 70s.)
