Melvin Gordon Absolutely Should Not Play vs. Chiefs

Last season, San Diego Chargers general manager Tom Telesco traded a 1st round pick and a 4th round pick to move up in the 2015 NFL Draft to select Melvin Gordon with the 15th overall pick out of the University of Wisconsin. In his first season as a pro, Gordon was one of the least productive and least efficient running backs in the NFL. He had the most touches of any player in the league without scoring a touchdown, he fumbled far too often, and he finished the season on the sideline with a knee injury.
