g itself to be a feeder league for the NFL isn’t a new one.After the first weekend of games http://www.chargersfanstore.com/Joey-Bosa-Jersey , at least one NFL General Manager thinks it can be a useful tool.ViaEric Williams of ESPN.com, Chargers G.M. Tom Telesco came away with a positive impression, and said he’ll send scouts to their games in the future.“It’s a great idea,” Telesco said. “It has the potential to be a nice complement to the NFL. It’s a great spot for a developmental league for players, but even aside from that ?coaches and front office, officiating Melvin Gordon Jersey , athletic trainers and video equipment people, public relations 鈥?all of that, so I think it’s a great place where people can develop in every department of football operations. Every department that touches a football team can get some real life experience.”Telesco’s support isn’t surprising, considering his mentor Bill Polian’s one of the league’s co-founders. But he plucked a pair of AAF players during the NFL playoffs, bringing kicker Nick Rose and adding linebacker Tyrone Holmes to his practice squad.“With San Diego close and Arizona pretty close, it will be pretty convenient for us [to scout] Craig Mager Color Rush Jersey ,” Telesco said. “It’s a place where young guys can go play.“No. 1, you get a chance to go play football and get paid for it, so that’s nice. No. 2, you get great coaching. And No. 3, you get a chance to put tape together so the NFL can evaluate you again. Most of these guys we’ve seen before, but it give them a chance to develop and learn Uchenna Nwosu Color Rush Jersey , get better at their craft and get it on tape.”The NFL hasn’t had their own developmental league since shuttering NFL Europe in 2007. The Chiefs asked quarterback Patrick Mahomes to stay off the basketball court this offseason, but it appeared one of their division rivals was taking a different approach when the Chargers’ Twitter account shared a video of safety Derwin James soaring to dunk off a lob from cornerback Casey Hayward.As it turns out, the social media department and football operations department are not on the same page. Head coach Anthony Lynn complimented James on a “hell of a dunk,” but said it wasn’t anything he wants to see again.“I encourage my guys to cross-train,” Lynn said, via ESPN.com. “But there’s just some things I’d rather you not do Jahleel Addae Color Rush Jersey , like ski, ride motorcycles and dunk off the backboard. He’s an athletic young man, so he’ll learn.”General Manager Tom Telesco added that he’s “not thrilled about it” and Lynn said he’s going to deliver his message about the preferred way to spend time in the offseason directly to James, so it seems the two AFC West teams are on the same page after all.
