Hester already the best San Diego short-yardage runner?

If LaDainian Tomlinson’s twilight years are to be extended, then the short-yardage pounding he’s often taken needs to be reduced. Is it any surprise, then, that the Chargers went out and got perhaps the top short-yardage player in the draft in Jacob Hester? We like Hester a lot and feel he’s often overlooked by the draft media. While he may never develop into a full-time starter, he’s tough between the tackles, great in the locker room, and money on 4th down.

LT may see fewer TDs, but that will also man less pounding and perhaps a longer career. And if I were Jacob Hester, I’d see the contract Michael Turner just got and feel pretty good about my future.
