Ever since Tom Telesco first put on a hat featuring a yellow lightning bolt, the modus operandi of his front office has revolved around one concept: mum’s the word.
Leading up to almost all of his drafts, the Chargers GM has a tradition of keeping whispers to a minimum and running a tight ship. Remember when Draft Internet blew up with reports about the team shipping Rivers to Tennessee in order to secure Marcus Mariota with the #2 overall pick in 2015? Or, as recently in 2016, when the Chargers surprised many by selecting Joey Bosa third, even though they came out afterwards saying the former Buckeye was their guy all along?
