“I think what we just were able to do is listen to one another, get to know each other on a personal level, kind of rewind, take me back to Fresno all the way to now,” Staley said of tracing Kendri…
COSTA MESA — Chargers coach Brandon Staley made his recruiting pitch to free-agent linebacker Eric Kendricks while Kendricks was vacationing in Hawaii. Their conversation, as Staley recalled, could have gone on for hours, but he cut it short because, well, Kendricks was in Hawaii.Drue Tranquill had signed with the Super Bowl champion Kansas City Chiefs, one of the Chargers’ AFC West rivals, and there was a job opening at a key position.
“I just think that what he was looking for and what we were looking for was just the perfect fit. I think those stars aligned. An hour flies by and it could have been two or three hours, easy.” Tranquill was one of the Chargers’ defensive leaders in the 2022 season – off the field and especially on it, with a team-best 146 tackles, including 95 solo. Kendricks, a Pro Bowl selection while with the Vikings in 2019, has stepped into a similar role as an experienced leader on and off the field, according to Staley.
“We just have to keep working together. There’s a long way to go before where we expect to be. But he’s just a really good guy to go through the process with.”Defense dominated the Chargers’ scrimmage Sunday at Jack Hammett Sports Complex. Defensive back Mark Webb Jr. intercepted a pass by backup quarterback Easton Stick and then recovered a fumble on the next play. Alohi Gilman had a diving interception of a deflected Justin Herbert pass.
