SAN DIEGO -- With the NFL scouting combine completed, colleges across the country are hosting pro days for prospects that were not invited to the annual event in Indianapolis.

The pro days also provide an opportunity for players to improve their times from the combine and go through positional drills. However, they also put players at risk for injury.

And that’s what unfortunately happened for first-round hopeful cornerback Sidney Jones at the University of Washington’s pro day. He suffered a reported Achilles tear while working through his final positional drill on Saturday, and that likely will affect his draft stock.

The Los Angeles Chargers were represented at Washington’s pro day by senior executive Randy Mueller and defensive backs coach Ron Milus. According to this report by Rob Rang writing for CBS Sports, the Chargers spoke with Washington cornerback Kevin King after his workout.

My take: With defensive coordinator Gus Bradley taking over, the Chargers want to get bigger, longer corners. At 6-foot-3 and 200 pounds, King certainly fits the prototype the Chargers are looking for. King ran a 4.39-second time in the 40-yard dash at the combine. He played both corner and safety for the Huskies last season, so he provides versatility.

• ESPN NFL Nation Giants beat writer Jordan Raanan reports that former Chargers offensive lineman D.J. Fluker signed a one-year, $3 million deal to join the New York Giants.

My take: Released by the Chargers before the start of free agency, the signing gives Fluker an opportunity to reset his career, getting a fresh start with a new team. The Chargers moved Fluker to right guard two years ago, but he never fully adjusted to his new position and always felt more comfortable at right tackle.

• Ricky Henne of Chargers.com writes that new left tackle Russell Okung compared Melvin Gordon to another talented running back he blocked for while with the Seattle Seahawks – Marshawn Lynch.

My take: While an interesting comparison, Gordon’s has not reached Beast Mode status yet.

• Sam Farmer of The Los Angeles Times talks with Ryan Leaf about his career with the Chargers, allowing the former NFL quarterback to tell it in his own words.

My take: It’s a pretty revealing, honest look by Leaf at how and why things went wrong in his life and worth your time this morning.
