Ernie Wright was an original member of the Los Angeles Chargers when they were an inaugural member of the American Football League in 1960, and the Ohio State Buckeye made the most of the opportunity.
Chuck Muncie was a talented Running Back, but his off-field issues and substance abuse made him expendable, so the New Orleans Saints jettisoned him to the San Diego Chargers four Games into the 1980 Season.
A forgotten Quarterback in the annals of Chargers' history is Stan Humphries, who to date is the only pivot to take the organization to the Super Bowl.
In the second year of the Chargers’ existence, Washington Linebacker, Chuck Allen was a very late Draft Pick (28thRound), so for him just to make the team was a bit of a long shot. Allen would accomplish a lot more than that.
