Not long ago, Ryan Mathews was the Chargers’ starting running back.
In 2010, the Chargers paid a hefty price to get Mathews, trading their first-round pick (28th overall), second-round pick, fourth-round pick and linebacker Tim Dobbins to the Miami Dolphins for the No. 12 overall pick. He was supposed to be the heir apparent to Hall of Famer LaDainian Tomlinson, who signed with the New York Jets that same year.
Unfortunately, the former Fresno State running back never panned out for the Bolts. He only played five seasons for San Diego before signing a three-year, $11 million contract with the Eagles in 2015 free agency.
