Keenan Allen debuts on #NFLRank at 75 - Eric Williams
"I just want to build off of last year, help my team as much as I can out there and try and lead us," said Allen, when asked about what he'd like to accomplish in his second season.

Training camp MVP is a familiar name - Tom Krasovic (paywall)
It's a big feature in Mike McCoy's system that receivers are fluent at all three receiver spots -- split end, flanker, slot. The versatility makes the Chargers harder to defend. Floyd, as well as Keenan Allen and Eddie Royal, looks comfortable in each role.

"I’ve learned so much from a guy like Hardwick," said third-round pick Chris Watt, who has spent time at both guard and center.  "He is always willing to help us out and has a lot to teach, so I am always listening to what he has to say."

We love the idea of Rivers doing his best Jim Kelly impression in a no-huddle offense where he is calling the shots. Now 32, Rivers has seen it all.

The Chargers present a lot of matchup problems from Ladarius Green to Keenan Allen, Antonio Gates and Danny Woodhead.
