COSTA MESA, Calif. -- A Jason Verrett jersey hangs on the wall of Los Angeles Chargers general manager Tom Telesco's office at the team's facility -- a constant reminder of the player many consider one of the toughest and most talented players in the facility.
The Chargers drafted Verrett with the 25th pick of the first round in 2014, but the TCU product has played in just 25 of a possible 80 games in five NFL seasons. He's showed flashes of his elite quickness and playmaking ability at times, including last summer before suffering a torn Achilles tendon during a conditioning drill the day before training camp, forcing him to miss the 2018 season.
