Quite a mentor

LaDainian Tomlinson knew the kind of teammate he was getting when the Chargers drafted running back Jacob Hester last weekend. On Friday, LT had his first opportunity to work with his new understudy, and he came away impressed.

“I watched him a bunch in college so I was pretty familiar with what he’s able to do on the football field,” Tomlinson said. “He seems like a guy that really wants to learn what’s going on. I think he can help us in a lot of different ways”
It didn’t take long for LT to take the former LSU Tiger under his wing a little, which was much appreciated by the Bolts’ third-round pick.

“He’s helping me out already,” Hester said. “On the field there were a couple of plays where I was kind of lost and he steered me in the right direction. He’s already reached out and kind of helped me.”
