C Matt Slauson brings toughness, grit to Chargers' O-line

SAN DIEGO -- Philip Rivers could tell the first week he worked with new center Matt Slauson that he would be a good fit for the San Diego Chargers.

Rivers said that Slauson’s demeanor reminded him of other cornerstone offensive linemen who have been with the Chargers over the years like Nick Hardwick, Kris Dielman and Jeromey Clary because of his toughness and grit.

“He seems like a guy that loves ball, and you want that first,” Rivers said. “And he’s kind of a no-nonsense guy when it comes to work.”

Slauson actually was recruited by fellow Nebraska native Danny Woodhead to join the Chargers.
