Kevin Acee of the San Diego Union-Tribune expects undrafted rookie QB Scott Tolzien to make the Chargers' final roster.
We've got a long way to go -- i.e. four preseason games -- but the early returns on Tolzien are promising. "This kid is sooo smart, so accurate, gets rid of the ball so quick," writes Acee. "He's Drew Brees without having to be forced into playing so soon." It sounds like the Chargers may have found Philip Rivers' backup of the future after whiffing on Jonathan Crompton.
