Max Tuerk picked by Chargers in the third round of the 2016 NFL Draft

Max Tuerk is a Charger.

The USC center was selected in the third with the 66th pick overall, becoming the second Trojan to hear his name called in the 2016 NFL Draft.

Versatility is the first word that comes to mind when describing Tuerk. Next is athleticism.

The offensive lineman was capable of serving at every position across the line in college, and started at four of the five at one point or another during his career.

In the NFL, Tuerk is projected as a center, though he could be deployed as a guard.

In 2012, Tuerk inserted himself into the rotation on the line from the first game of the season.
