If the San Diego Chargers had any doubts about the solidity of their nickel cornerback position, Antoine Cason has answered them all. He was the Chargers’ first-round draft pick and was chosen 27th overall. He has had to learn fast since the position he is stepping into varies greatly from the way he played at Arizona. He told ESPN, “I didn’t realize it was so different. That’s been the biggest difference of the NFL camp from college. I am basically learning a new position. But I have great coaching and it is going very well. But it is a learning experience every day.”
Having new players step up is incredibly important at this point in the game. There is already buzz about the Chargers making a run for the Super Bowl this season, and they will need every position running full throttle to accomplish that. Cason has made a name for himself as the man who is adept at putting himself between the ball and the receiver. As a result, he tallied a solid number of interceptions during his college career. He is going to give fans another reason to come see games, so get San Diego Chargers tickets from StubHub.com.
