Asante Samuel Jr. knows the #Chargers third-round picks well. He went to high school with WR Josh Palmer and then was at FSU for three years with TE Tre McKitty

The #Chargers sit and pick #FSU CB Asante Samuel Jr. Another talented player fell to them and coach Brandon Staley gets his talented corner.
