SAN DIEGO (AP) – With only a handful of picks in the latter rounds of Saturday’s NFL draft, the Chargers went with a running back who could also help on special teams and an offensive lineman.
San Diego took Connecticut running back Jordan Todman on Saturday with the 183rd pick overall.
Todman was the Big East offensive player of the year last season after rushing for 1,695 yards and 14 touchdowns on 334 carries. Todman is known as a slasher who can also return kickoffs.
The Chargers used another sixth-round pick on Michigan guard Stephen Schilling, who’s expected to play tackle as a pro. Schilling fits the mold for the Chargers’ reserve offensive linemen, who are typically versatile and can fill in at various positions.
