Chargers tight end Charlie Kolar won over football fans by explaining why run-blocking beats scoring touchdowns.
In his first media session with the Chargers , new tight end Charlie Kolar quickly won over fans and reporters with his passionate “football guy” enthusiasm for the physical side of the game. The 27-year-old, who signed a three-year, $24. 3 million contract in free agency after four seasons with the Ravens , highlighted his passion for blocking.
"There's something so beautiful about you're up by six points, it's like 3rd and 3-you know you're running it," he said. "There's two minutes left in the game, they have no timeouts. You get a first down, the game's over.
" "They know you're running it. Your wife knows you're running it. Their wife knows you're running it.
You still run it. That is more satisfying than any touchdown I've ever had. That's one thing I've grown to appreciate in the NFL.
