A look at some of the most interesting stats for the San Diego Chargers heading into the 2016 season.
Finding the Fits: Rookie Max Tuerk the center of attention for Chargers - Rob Rang
Prior to tearing his ACL in October, he had started the past 38 games for the Trojans, splitting time between center, guard and tackle while being recognized as the team's Offensive Lineman of the Year and earning First Team All-Pac-12 honors in 2014. The 6-foot-5, 298-pounder split time at those positions in part because he possesses rare quickness, agility and flexibility. These are traits which should help protect the relatively immobile Rivers, as well as provide blocking at the second level for Gordon.
