A lot of people had very high hopes for Max Tuerk when the Chargers selected him in the 3rd round of the 2016 NFL Draft. He was recovering from an injury and the Chargers brought in Matt Slauson so Tuerk would have all the time he needed to finish healing and hit the books to learn the offense.
Tuerk saw some time in a few preseason games last year, but didn’t get into any of the regular season games. He learned the playbook, got some tips from Matt Slauson, and got to practice against Brandon Mebane who also gave him some pointers.
