On day two of the NFL Draft last Friday, Chargers ex-Linebacker and three time Pro Bowler,
Shawne Merriman, announced the Los Angeles Chargers second round pick. With the 60th
overall pick in the 2019 NFL Draft, the Los Angeles Chargers selected…Delaware Safety Nasir
Adderley.
“It’s truly been a dream come true.” Adderley said in his introductory press conference. “Just to
get the call from the Chargers organization is just unbelievable.”
Adderley joins a short list of University of Delaware players to be drafted into the NFL. A list 29
names long, now including Adderley, has notable players such as Quarterbacks Joe Flacco and
Rich Gannon on it. Adderley is now the second earliest drafted Delaware player, behind Flacco’s
18th overall selection in 2008.
