Looks like one of the great linebackers is ready to call it a career. One of the best if not the best Chargers of all time.

I would say 2nd greatest Charger ever, right behind Dan Fouts.

Seau had a motor unexceeded in the NFL. He often overpursued early in his career because of it. Still, great LB and probably a first ballot hall of famer.

Don't forget Charlie Joiner and Kellen Winslow. But yeah Fouts was my fave. Amazing offensive games when he played.
Junior was never the same after an injury a couple of years before he was traded but the opposing coach had a heck of a time figuring out offences to avoid Seau. Near impossible.
Should be in the Hall first ballot.
