Chargers GM who drafted Te’o has unique perspective on Michael Sam’s mission (Shutdown Corner)

INDIANAPOLIS — San Diego Chargers GM Tom Telesco is one of the league's youngest general managers, but that didn't stop him from having a strong first season in his post with the team. But it was not a first draft as the head guy in 2013 without controversy. In the second round, the Chargers traded up to draft Manti Te'o — the most dissected player in last year's class, and some of it was about football even. The bizarre girlfriend story involving Te'o took on a life of its own a year ago, and his press conference was the most talked-about event of last year's scouting combine. This year, it's very likely that there will be similarities to the Te'o press conference and the expected crowd for Missouri DE Michael Sam.
