Marcus Gilchrist open to position change |
According to a utsandiego.com article, former Clemson DB Marcus Gilchrist will cross train at the safety and cornerback position for the San Diego Chargers this year.
They have very little experienced depth at the safety position. As positions go, Gilchrist isn't picky. “Wherever I can help the team,” he said in a phone interview. “If that means playing corner and helping the team, then that's where I'll be. If it means safety, that's where I'll be. Wherever the coaches feel I can help the team best.”
The Chargers plan to take a long look at Gilchrist in the safety role, where there is belief the position could prove his best fit. He's seen some reps there this offseason during the team's voluntary workout program, the third-year veteran recently confirmed.
