Chargers new linebackers coach NaVorro Bowman is bringing his years of locker room experience to pass on his newest charges including rookie LB Junior Colson.
“I think it benefits the players just having me here and just being able to give it to them both ways,” Bowman said. “Just being able to say, ‘OK, you don’t understand it this way. Let me break it down to you how you and your teammate will talk about it.’ And I think that’s relieved the guys a lot in our room. I love our room, it’s a great room, a lot of competition, and I look forward to what’s coming next.”

Bowmans passion for the players he has was evident in his excitement to work with Chargers rookie Colson. Bowman told Colson, “I stood on a table from day one for you, dawg. I’m happy you are here. We can hit the ground running fast, man.”
“I’ve been watching Denzel for a long time. He plays the right way. When I knew that he was out there, I wanted to get him,” Bowman said. “I just know the way that he’s going to come in and work, come in and set the example for guys like Daiyan Henley, like Junior . He’s a 10-year vet and he’s doing the things that a lot of 10-year guys that I played with wouldn’t do. He’s approaching it the right way, and we’re glad to have him.”
“He’s a player’s coach,” Denzel Perryman said. “They understand the game and it makes it a lot easier for us to go out there and play.”
