NFL in L.A.? Here are some predictions for the next few months - Sam Farmer
With St. Louis Rams owner Stan Kroenke proposing a stadium in Inglewood, and the owners of the San Diego Chargers and Oakland Raiders backing a competing project in Carson, the stars are aligned for something to happen.

2014 Rushing by Number of Backs - Sterling Xie
And while no team figures to see a Miami-like plummet, the Ravens figure to see the biggest two-back usage decline following the conclusion of their one-year Kubiak fling.

Even though he ultimately settled on playing collegiately at Auburn, Georgia Tech was one of the teams trying hard to woo him to their Atlanta campus. Coincidentally the Yellow Jackets’ offensive line coach at the time was current Chargers line coach, Joe D’Alessandris.

All You Need to Know About Keenan Allen - Chargers.com
In his second NFL season, Allen had another outstanding year, leading the team with 77 catches, good for 783 yards and four scores. Looking back, as unfathomable as it might sound, Allen’s brilliant start to his NFL career almost never materialized.
