Jamal Williams returns to Chargers as a coach

Three-time San Diego Chargers Defensive Player of the Year, Jamal Williams, has returned to the team after a seven-year absence.

Except this time, he’s a coach.

As Michael Gehlken of the San Diego Union-Tribune reported, Williams signed on to the team for training camp as a coach intern to help lend a helping hand to the young Chargers defensive line.

Williams, now 40, played for the Chargers from 1998 to 2009, being named to three Pro Bowls and three All-Pro teams in 2004, 2005 and 2006. During his time in San Diego, Williams was named as Chargers co-MVP in 2008 and four-time Chargers Lineman of the Year along with his three Chargers Defensive Player of the Year awards.
