It’s offensive tackle http://www.chargersfanstore.com/Joey-Bosa-Jersey , defensive tackle, and linebacker. Everything else should just be a second thought at this point. However, this hasn’t stopped the Chargers’ brass from thinking outside the box to fill one of their most-pressing needs.According to Austin Gayle over at Pro Football Focus, the Bolts recently met with Georgia defensive end Jonathan Ledbetter, a senior defender who spent some time with the best of the best down in Mobile, Alabama for the Reese’s Senior Bowl.The spiciest tidbit from their time together? Supposedly Melvin Gordon Jersey , Ledbetter was asked if he would consider making the transition from defensive end in UGA’s front to a 3-technique in Gus Bradley’s 4-3 defense.When looking at the athletic-testing numbers from Ledbetter’s combine, it’s easy to see why a transition could, and maybe should, be in his future.Ledbetter measured just under 6-foot-4 and 280 pounds, right where you would want a true defensive end in a 4-3 defense. However, Ledbetter was extremely underwhelming in his tests. His 5.14 forty is Uchenna Nwosu Color Rush Jersey , quite frankly, horrendous for a player who was thought to maybe receive some looks at linebacker at the next level. His 26.5-inch vertical and 9-foot broad jump are equally as depressing in a player who was a part of such a vaunted defense in college.In the above tweet, you can see that Ledbetter’s numbers, when put up against other defensive ends in the past, he is near the bottom of the barrel. When you put them in the context of defensive tackles, he jumps up a bit but still falls short of an “average” relative athletic score.I’m not sure where Ledbetter will eventually stick at in the NFL Jahleel Addae Color Rush Jersey , but it’s nice to see the Chargers getting creative while they attempt to fix the glaring holes on this roster. Ledbetter has the experience, work-ethic, and pedigree of a guy you want on your team, but he is not without a question mark or two. Tonight the Los Angeles Chargers take on the Pittsburgh Steelers in Pittsburgh on Sunday Night Football. This could very well end up being a preview of the first round the AFC playoffs next month. Philip Rivers leads a Chargers team that has been on a roll save for one ugly game against the Denver Broncos. They appeared to get back on track last week with their destruction of the Arizona Cardinals.In a lot of ways, the Steelers represent a bad matchup for the Chargers, but Los Angeles is so good that they are still in position to go on the road and win as underdogs. Melvin Gordon will be missing this week Russell Okung Color Rush Jersey , so the offense is clearly not at its best. However, the return of Joey Bosa has had the defense playing at a different level as we enter the month of December.Pittsburgh is favored for a reason in this one, but they can’t possibly be happy to be looking across the field and seeing the Chargers.
