CBS Sports has been working on a series called the “Franchise Five” where a number of writers take turns listing the five most-impactful players in each franchise’s history. The five individuals listed must contain a head coach, a quarterback, and three non-QB players.
This week, Jason La Canfora wrote out the franchise for the Chargers. And just a little spoiler, none of the people chosen are technically “Los Angeles” Chargers.
The five chosen to be a part of this pseudo-Mount Rushmore were former head coach Don Coryell, quarterback Dan Fouts, wide receiver Lance Alworth, running back LaDainian Tomlinson, and linebacker Junior Seau.
