SAN DIEGO -- A chance meeting at a gas station served as divine intervention for Tre Boston, guiding his decision to join the Los Angeles Chargers in free agency.

"At the end of the day God told me to come here," Boston said. "And I'm a man of faith, so I couldn't go against his word."

Recently released by the Carolina Panthers in a cost-cutting move, Boston had three suitors in the Chargers, the Buffalo Bills and the Pittsburgh Steelers.

After visiting all three teams, Boston said he prayed for clarity as traveled back home to Charlotte, North Carolina, to make his decision.
