Well-traveled rookie QB among Chargers’ 15 tryouts

A quarterback who started for three different major colleges in his amateur career is trying out for the Chargers this weekend.

Pete Thomas, who played at Colorado State, North Carolina State and Louisiana-Monroe, is one of the 15 tryout players at San Diego’s rookie minicamp, the club said Friday.

Thomas (6-5, 235) began his career at Colorado State, serving as the starter in 2010 and most of 2011 before suffering a season-ending injury. His replacement — now-Saints quarterback Garrett Grayson — would go on to win the starting job in 2012.
