Joey Bosa's replacement Darius Philon thriving in first days of Chargers camp

SAN DIEGO – Make the most of your opportunities.

That’s Darius Philon's motto this year. Selected in the sixth round of the 2015 draft by the San Diego Chargers, Philon was considered more of a developmental prospect as a defensive lineman.

But with San Diego’s first-round pick from this year, Joey Bosa, not reporting to camp due to a contract dispute, Philon is getting first-team reps at defensive end and so far has played well.
