The Chargers have enjoyed a fairly long stretch of being blessed at the tight end position. After employing one of the greatest tight ends of all time in Kellen Winslow during most of the ‘80s, it was only 15 years later that they landed yet another tight end in Antonio Gates who will inevitably end up in the Pro Football Hall of Fame once his time comes.
Heck, and even before Gates’ time was up in the NFL, the Chargers also drafted Hunter Henry who sure looked like the next great tight end for the franchise. However, his time in Los Angeles ended up being a bit shorter than most expected.
