World traveler Jerry Tillery fits into Chargers' eclectic D-line

COSTA MESA, Calif. -- For Jerry Tillery, it's time move on.

Asked about his globetrotting as a student at Notre Dame -- something he's answered numerous times before -- Tillery turned a bit prickly.

"It's helped me a lot, it really has," Tillery said. "But right now I'm focused on trying to be the best football player I can be, and that's where I'm at mentally and physically."

Tillery, who had traveled to 18 countries before the Los Angeles Chargers made him a first-round pick this spring, understandably wants the attention to be on football, not how many stamps he's collected on his passport during his time in college.
