Josh Palmer may have started the Chargers’ first preseason game with a bang, but it was fellow rookie Larry Rountree that kept the momentum going strong en route to closing out the team’s 13-6 victory over the Rams this past Saturday.
Rountree broke off a 25-yard gain on a play where he only needed one, but fans certainly weren’t going to nitpick on that. On a fourth-and-1 near midfield, Rountree took a handoff and swerved up the left side of the line past left tackle Trey Pipkins who managed to wall off the defender inside. Rountree was greeted with a wide lane to run through and he also managed to snatch an ankle before being brought down.
