The Chargers thought they’d found a diamond in the rough. Despite most draft analysts having a draft grade on Mager somewhere in the fifth round, Tom Telesco decided to take him in the third round of the 2015 draft, using the No. 83 overall pick to obtain him.
Mager played at Texas State, so it’s understandable as to why he’d flow under the radar. But Telesco felt he saw something in the 5-foot-11 defensive back.
Unfortunately, Mager has not been able to prove him right to this point.
He’s had three largely forgettable seasons in the league and has just 40 tackles and one interception to this point in his career.
