COSTA MESA, Calif. – Los Angeles Chargers coach Brandon Staley says he’s always loved the NFL draft, dating back to when he was a kid growing up in Perry, Ohio.
“I remember the Staley boys are ordering Roman’s wings and potato skins and watching every pick in the draft,” Staley told NFL Network at the NFL scouting combine in Indianapolis, referring to himself and his twin brother, Jason. “It’s a Staley family tradition, there’s nothing better.”
Despite the loaded responsibility that accompanies an NFL coach during the three-day draft, Staley hasn’t bucked all tradition. There will be wings aplenty when Staley participates in his third draft as head coach next month.
