The selection of Stick was a bit of a surprise, but it seems like the Chargers wanted to take a shot at his potential as he still sat on the board in the fifth round. With Philip Rivers already on the roster, it was not expected that Stick would see the field as a rookie and that is exactly what happened.
He wasn’t even guaranteed a roster spot as the team still had Cardale Jones hoping to stick on as part of the team’s 53-man roster. That set up an interesting little battle in training camp and preseason.
