ALLEN PARK, Mich. – Quandre Diggs was on the sideline the season opener in 2015. For most of the game, he sipped on Gatorade waiting for his opportunity. He was a rookie cornerback. It was his first career game and the team opposite him was one he grew up rooting for – the then-San Diego Chargers.
Diggs knew the Chargers well - had to because of the familial connections that bound the Texas native to Southern California. His brother, Quentin Jammer, was a star for the Chargers from 2002 to 2012.
So games at Qualcomm Stadium were like a second home to him and with it came getting to know the Chargers’ quarterback, the same guy who lived down the street from his brother, Philip Rivers.
