What past great from the Chargers would you add to the roster?

NFL: New Orleans Saints at San Diego Chargers Jake Roth-USA TODAY Sports

A couple weeks ago a question was posed on if you could add a former great from your favorite team to the current roster, who would it be? I like to poke the bear so I jokingly said Drew Brees. You can go a number of different ways, though. With the recent injury news to Hunter Henry, I might slide prime Antonio Gates in there.

I don’t care how much you love him or think he needs more chances, I’m replacing Melvin Gordon with that running back who wore #21 before you can finish saying LaDainian Tomlinson. Holy hell can you imagine LT in today’s passing NFL? He somehow would be better.

I know many will bring up Jamal Williams. If I’m taking an interior defensive lineman from those teams I’m taking Luis Castillo. Castillo getting all those 1-on-1’s with Bosa and Ingram off the edge? Yes please. Speaking of pass rushers, Shawne Merriman for those couple years anyone? You can put yo or I on the field as the 4th rusher and we might be able to get some sacks.

Junior. Rodney Harrison. Lance Alworth. Winslow. The list goes on and on and on.
