The San Diego Chargers won nine games in each of guard D.J. Fluker's first two seasons with the team. Then they won nine games combined in his next two seasons.

But in a new city with a new coach, Fluker said the Chargers will go to the NFL playoffs in 2017 - guaranteed.

"I'm looking forward to the playoffs," Fluker said. "We definitely will be in the playoffs. No doubt. Guaranteed."

Fluker made the remark to TMZ Sports when approached while walking across a street in Los Angeles, the Chargers' new home.

The Chargers are relocating to Los Angeles for the 2017 season without coach Mike McCoy, who'd been with the team the four seasons since San Diego selected Fluker out of Alabama with the 11th pick in 2013 NFL Draft. The Chargers hired Buffalo Bills interim head coach and offensive coordinator Anthony Lynn as head coach earlier this month.

Before going to Alabama, Fluker played prep football at McGill-Toolen in Mobile and at Foley.
