Some guys can have bad luck early on but then whether through luck or changes in conditioning or whatever figure out how to stay on the field.

Again, not saying he's going to be Brett Favre out there or anything, only that I think the Chargers are smart to take the plunge on the extension now. Roll the dice, because you're going to need to win some gambles if you want to eventually stop playing little brother to the Chiefs

What? He only played in 5 games in 2019 and missed the entire 2020 season.
