For the second year in a row, the Chargers added a key piece to their already great defense with their first-round selection (28th selection) in the 2019 NFL Draft. Jerry Tillery was a four-year player at Notre Dame who really began to shine his junior season. Standing at 6’6″, Tillery brings versatility and size to the defensive line that, when paired with Bosa and Ingram, could be the league’s best defensive line trio.
Tillery was born and raised in Shreveport, Louisiana and attended Evangel Christian Academy. While being dominant on the defensive line, he also was an absolute stud of an offensive tackle.
