SAN DIEGO – An L.A. native, Brandon Mebane compared new defensive coordinator Gus Bradley to another L.A. native’s ability to paint a picture and capture an audience.
“I call Gus the white Ice Cube,” Mebane said. “He’s the best story teller you ever want to be around. Gus brings a lot of energy to the room. And when he talks to everybody, you might not be feeling good that day, but when he talks with you and inspires you, you want to go out there and make plays and try to be the best.”
Bradley has been using that innate ability to communicate with players during his time in the NFL, helping them understand his defensive philosophy and culture -- how he wants the Chargers to execute on the field.
