The 2015 fifth-round selection calls it quits"Early Thursday morning Tyrell Williams Color Rush Jersey , former Chargers linebacker Kyle Emanuel took to twitter to announce his retirement from the NFL.In his statement, he doesnĄ¯t cite any specific reason that led him to this decision, but states that the injuries that have begun to pile up obviously swayed his decision to prioritize his long-term health.Emanuel became a free agent following the 2018 season and the Chargers showed zero signs of interest in bringing him back for next season.Emanuel was selected in the fifth round (153rd overall) of the 2015 NFL Draft out of North Dakota State University. In college, Emanuel won four-straight FCS National Championships with the Bison and was the recipient the Buck Buchanan Award Derek Watt Color Rush Jersey , given to the nationĄ¯s top defensive player at the FCS level, following his senior season.He made his first career start in the 2015 season-opener against the Detroit Lions where he went on to record three total tackles, including his first career sack and interception in the teamĄ¯s 33-28 victory. On Tuesday evening, the Los Angeles Chargers announced the signing of Cole Mazza Travis Benjamin Color Rush Jersey , a former long snapper for the Alabama Crimson Tide and most recently, the Birmingham Iron of the now defunct..."On Tuesday evening, the Los Angeles Chargers announced the signing of Cole Mazza, a former long snapper for the Alabama Crimson Tide and most recently Keenan Allen Color Rush Jersey , the Birmingham Iron of the now defunct Alliance of American Football.While in the AAF, Mazza snapped for former Chargers kicker Nick Novak. In the teamĄ¯s eight weeks, they converted 13 of 16 field goals (81.3 percent). At Alabama, where he played from 2013-16 LaDainian Tomlinson Color Rush Jersey , Mazza snapped the ball over 583 times without a single mistake.IĄ¯m not sure what to make of the signing other than bringing in competition for long-time long snapper Mike Windt. Windt is going into his 10th season with the Chargers after recently signed a four-year, $4.41 million deal back in 2017.
