His goal in his second year as the Chargers’ special teams coordinator is a second consecutive clean and consistent operation, from Week 1 through season’s end
COSTA MESA — The football was in the air Saturday at Jack Hammett Sports Complex, and Ryan Ficken was on the move. He wasn’t actually participating in a special teams drill, but he sure was coaching up everyone in uniform who was involved during the Chargers’ training camp practice.
With that in mind, he’s enlisted as many promising recruits to the special teams units as possible. Hightower, a second-year wide receiver from Boise State who has made several excellent catches during 11-on-11 team drills during camp, was getting a tryout as a kickoff returner Saturday. “The message we told these guys from the get-go was, ‘How can you create value for yourself, to impact this football team in a positive way?’ I’m seeing that from these players here and we’re excited about that. I think Tom Telesco and Staley, they targeted the right guys.Ficken deferred to Staley when asked about the status of Hopkins, who hasn’t kicked during team drills since last week. Ficken said Staley would provide an update Sunday on Hopkins, who has been kicking on the sidelines.
