Most of the 17 players who tried out at the Chargers’ three-day rookie minicamp went home Sunday.

Vi Teofilo could stay.

The former Arizona State guard was signed to a three-year contract, a source said. He’ll look to compete for a practice-squad spot in the coming months. Listed at 6-foot-3 and 315 pounds, Teofilo made 40 straight starts for the Sun Devils and recorded 43 reps in the 225-pound bench press at his March pro day.

This is not the first time the Chargers have signed an offensive lineman following rookie minicamp.


In 2014, former West Texas A&M guard Craig Watts earned an extended opportunity. He turned it into a two-year stint on the practice squad, at one point being promoted to the 53-man roster last year. Watts is currently with the Jets. Tackle Forrestal Hickman and center Khalil Wilkes earned a call-back last year, although not immediately after minicamp.

Teofilo is an American Samoa native. He moved to Arizona at age 12, living there with his brothers.

The Chargers waived guard Sebastian Johannson, an undrafted rookie guard from Marshall, in a corresponding move. They also waived-injured linebacker Brock Hekking, the team announced Monday. Hekking suffered a foot injury last August in a preseason game against the Seahawks.
