The Chargers haven’t enjoyed a ton of talented centers this century. In all honesty, we know this one will be a competition between Nick Hardwick (the long-time starter) and Corey Linsley (the only All-Pro this century). Both are very deserving and I’m very excited to see which one wins this poll!
Let’s go ahead and dive in!
Nick Hardwick (2004-2014)
Hardwick was drafted by the Chargers in the third round of the 2004 NFL Draft. He started immediately for the Bolts as a rookie, earning 14 that first year. Through the rest of the way, Hardwick started every single game he appeared in, notching 136 starts by the time he recovered following the 2014 season.
