The big news of the day was that the team listed Joey Bosa at 280 pounds. Here's proof:

Not only that but Bosa was one of the clear standouts today during practice. Just a man amongst boys:

Bosa with a sack. He's a

Ball snapped, soon as QB blinked, 99 was in his grill. They ended the period there. Lol.

— Jerome R. Watson (@SkinnyDuzIt) May 14, 2016

Bosa don't need to be here, man. Lol.

— Jerome R. Watson (@SkinnyDuzIt) May 14, 2016

He's already gaining fans too.

@GarrettSisti @BFTB_Chargers Lots of Bosa #99 jerseys out here. Pretty close battle between #13 & #17 for overall reppin.

Another player who was just dominating out there was Rookie Tight End Hunter Henry.

86 so smooth on drive routes. Great multi-tasker, can climb and read at full speed.

— Jerome R. Watson (@SkinnyDuzIt) May 14, 2016

86 on the over is a recurring theme. Defense can't defend it.

Hunter Henry made the catch of the day, diving catch in tight coverage from S Adrian McDonald

Hunter Henry can not be stopped

— Garrett Sisti (@GarrettSisti) May 14, 2016

At all. Shouldn't be here either. Lol. https://t.co/lO4RdVfAqf

@BFTB_Chargers @GarrettSisti Henry making it really easy to like the 2nd rd decision to grab him.

Dexter McCoil & Hunter Henry the clear standouts on Off vs Def

— Garrett Sisti (@GarrettSisti) May 14, 2016

The former-CFL standout Dexter McCoil had himself a day as well lined up at Safety.

Dexter McCoil playing S vs these TEs are not fair. Too big, too athletic

— Garrett Sisti (@GarrettSisti) May 14, 2016

Sorry McCoil is working these TEs over, he is too big for them to body him & he's too fast for them to streak past

— Garrett Sisti (@GarrettSisti) May 14, 2016

Here are some other news and notes:

Coach really knows how to entertain.

McCoy knows how to keep a crowd engaged: practice starts Special Teams, stretches

— Garrett Sisti (@GarrettSisti) May 14, 2016

Tuerk suited up but didn't see him get any contact work

— Garrett Sisti (@GarrettSisti) May 14, 2016

FB Chris Swain made some nice catches on some bad throws and got a good gain on a stretch play.

Derek Watt & Chris Swain standing side by side & one looks like a FB, the other a RB. Both listed as FBs

— Garrett Sisti (@GarrettSisti) May 14, 2016

Not a bad thing.

QBs just didn't go Jatavis Brown & Joshua Perry's way today, so kinda quiet

— Garrett Sisti (@GarrettSisti) May 14, 2016

The Quarterbacks Mike Bercovici (#6) and Bryn Renner (#9) were definitely bad today.

Chopped it up w/ @GarrettSisti on the way out. Both agree 6 & 9 are horrible.

— Jerome R. Watson (@SkinnyDuzIt) May 14, 2016

So Kaser can kick

WR Dom Williams running some crisp routes over here, best of the WRs right now

UDFA Oregon OT Tyler Johnstone long-snapping in ST drills...interesting

El Capitan came to check out the practice.

Rivers came out to watch the rookies with his kids & watch his new Franchise TE
