Latest NewsLos Angeles Chargers NewsChargers OffseasonNotes from Day 2 of Chargers training campNew,36commentsPDTThe second day of training has come to an end and of course there are a number of things to take note of just two days into camp. Daniel Popper, the new hire for the Chargers’ beat at The Athletic, was our main source for training camp news today with a little sprinkle of ESPN’s Eric Williams.It was another solid, injury-free practice for the Chargers with young guys continuing to make plays and veterans continuing to show why they’re the starters.Here’s all the tidbits from today’s second practice.This was a surprise, and a slight scare, to read at the start of practice. In his post-practice presser, Anthony Lynn stated this was a day off for White and that he will be participating in tomorrow’s practice. However, they will be monitoring him.I can never get enough of the Forrest Lamp news. For the second-straight practice, Lamp saw reps with the first team at left guard while Dan Feeney saw more reps at center. There is nothing wrong with Mike Pouncey Youth Denzel Perryman Jerseys , but Lynn continues to push the versatility across his interior linemen.Jerry Tillery is still being brought along slowly. He once again participated in team drills but did not see time during 11v11. He’s looked good, showing strength and agility. In general, it’s great seeing someone of his stature in that interior defender group.A running back coach at heart, Lynn spent some extra time with the running backs today. Always a good thing to see.This is obviously good news for Mike Davis fans. It’s note-worthy that Davis was able to stay with Travis Benjamin on a deep route but it’s also not a good thing that Rivers is still deciding to throw it deep to Benjamin when, chances are, that ball will be picked off.Not exactly what we want to see this early.Andre Patton is one of the more experienced “young guys” on this team, especially after playing some legitimate football from February to April while with the Alliance of American Football.Tyrod Taylor is still the best back-up quarterback the Chargers have ever had behind Philip Rivers and his presence should make fans extremely comfortable were something to ever happen to Rivers. Thomas Davis joins Brandon Mebane as the only other member of this Chargers defense to play in a Super Bowl. Hopefully the little details and the way Davis handles his business can rub off on the rest of that side of the ball. I like the quote, as well. It shows that Davis has the right mindset at this point in time.Join us back here tomorrow as we recap day three of training camp! Also, make sure you’re following me on twitter @zonetracks. I’ll have my own commentary about the practices so you won’t want to miss that.

Nonetheless, the former Defensive Player of the Year in the Patriot League looks to be getting groomed torush the passer from a three-point stance instead of his two-point from his college days.In his final year of high-school, Afriyie didn’t necessarily stuff the stat sheet, but he definitely put together one of the more efficient seasons you’ll see, posting 25 tackles-for-loss and 11.5 sacks in just 30 total tackles.During his time at Colgate, Afriyie was a three-time All-Patriot League selection who amassed 152 total tackles, 49.5 tackles-for-loss Youth Hunter Henry Jerseys , and 26.5 sacks, good for second in school history. He was also named the team’s Hal Lahar award winner, which is given annually to the team’s defensive MVP.Basic InfoHeight: 6-2Weight: 245College: ColgateExperience: 1Years with the team: 1Contract Status“Patrick Afriyie signed a 1 year, $495,000 contract with the Los Angeles Chargers, including an average annual salary of $495,000. In 2019, Afriyie will earn a base salary of $495,000, while carrying a cap hit of $495,000.” - Spotrac.comThe GoodAfriyie is the prototypical mold for the team’s LEO position Hunter Henry Jerseys Stitched , a player who is adept at rushing the passer but offers enough athleticism and versatility to drop into coverage and move around the defensive front.Colgate’s head coach offered tremendous praise about Afriyie’s selflessness and high character, as well: ”As good of a player as he is, and he’s one of the best we’ve ever had – he’s getting a lot of looks from the NFL, for four years now he’s taken over games, he’s affected offenses with how they have to block him, he’s freed up other people to make plays – with all of that, he’s just as good if not better of a person. That’s the combination we look for. He’s a great leader and a great teammate.”The BadAfter posting over 19 sacks in his sophomore and junior seasons at Colgate, Afriyie only posted 2.5 sacks in his final year, starting all eight games he played in (missed three to injury).He had the production for back-to-back years, garnering all the awards and accolades you’d expect. You just hope to see that consistency finish through the end of his career.I’ve been skeptical of his size since the team signed him last year. He is roughly the same height and weight as Melvin Ingram, but I’m not sure how much of the same package he brings to the table. With the team utilizing Uchenna Nwosu in a variety of roles Youth Michael Badgley Jerseys , including back-up reps at the LEO, I wonder if there is going to be much room for Afriyie to make an impact on this team.Odds of making the roster/What to expect in 2019At this very moment, I don’t think Afriyie has a chance of making the final 53-man roster. The team doesn’t look like they’re going to keep more than three defensive ends (Bosa, Ingram, Rochell) and they’ll utilize Nwosu, James, and others along the line to mimic a defensive line rotation.Fun Fact: Afriyie’s first job was cutting the grass on Colgate’s campus while he was playing football.
