Los Angeles Chargers running back Austin Ekeler said Tuesday that New England Patriots quarterback Tom Brady would be a "good fit" for the organization in free agency.

Ekeler, who recently signed a four-year, $24.5 million contract extension with the Bolts, referenced the departures of quarterback Philip Rivers and offensive lineman Russell Okung as a key reason Brady's leadership would be welcomed in L.A.

"It's an opportunity for people to step up, but if you bring a guy like Tom Brady in the room, he's been there, done that," Ekeler said on the NFL Network's Total Access (via CBS Sports' Jeff Kerr).
