How fatherhood made Chargers receiver Keenan Allen a better player

COSTA MESA, Calif. -- Toward the end of a training camp in August, applause from a corner of the field near the players' friends and family tent interrupted a lull at the end of practice.

Los Angeles Chargers receiver Keenan Allen and fiancé Ciandra Monique had just announced that they were expecting their third child, a boy. Allen did so by kicking a football filled with baby-blue dust that erupted into the air.
