| Chargers Want Rookie TE Ladarius Green To Bulk Up
The San Diego Chargers would like fourth round tight end Ladarius Green to add 10-15 pounds to his 6-foot-6 frame, Michael Gehlken of the San Diego Union-Tribune reports. "They're telling me to bulk up a little bit," Green said on Friday. Green was a high school wide receiver who added weight without losing speed during his four seasons at Louisana-Lafayette. Green weighed 235 pounds at the 2012 Scouting Combine and the club would like him to be at around 245 pounds as a rookie. During his 46-game career, Green caught 149 passes for 2,201 yards and 22 touchdowns, steadily improving his production during his career. A similar trajectory is expected at the NFL level, as Green could be the long-term replacement for an aging Antonio Gates who will play more as a "move" tight end as he adds weight and strength early in his career.
