According to boltbeat.com, the Chargers have signed the following undrafted free agents:
1. South Carolina wide receiver Jason Barnes: This 6-3, 208-pounder caught 64 passes for 778 yards and two touchdowns during his five seasons with the Gamecocks. After productive years during his redshirt freshman and sophomore seasons, his playing time decreased substantially in 2010 and 2011. In his final two seasons combined, he caught just 10 passes for 111 yards.
2. Montana offensive lineman Charles Burton: This 6-5, 318-pounder was a two-year starter and played guard, left tackle, and right tackle for the Grizzlies.
3. UCLA wide receiver Taylor Embree: This 6-3, 202-pounder caught 137 passes for 1,776 yards and four touchdown during his four seasons with the Bruins. He also returned 27 punts for a six-yard average.
4. Houston running back Michael Hayes: During his two years with the Cougars he rushed for 1,356 yards and 19 touchdowns and caught 74 passes for 810 yards and six scores.
5. LSU quarterback Jarrett Lee: He was a part-time starter during his four years with the Tigers and finished his career with a 56.1 completion percentage for 3,949 yards, 32 touchdowns, and 21 interceptions. Last year was his best season, as he completed 62.3% of his passes for 1,306 yards, 14 touchdowns, and three interceptions. Still, he was benched late in the year during a disastrous performance in a key regular-season battle with SEC rival Alabama and never got his job back. At 6-2, 207 pounds a lack of arm strength and overall talent make him a longshot to stick on an NFL roster.
6. Central Florida inside linebacker Josh Linam: A two-year starter with the Knights, he had 144 tackles, 19 tackles for losses, three sacks, three interceptions, and three forced fumbles in 2010 and 2011 combined. Scouting reports say he's limited athletically and lacks explosion in all areas.
7. UNLV wide receiver Philip Payne: This 6-3, 210-pounder caught 171 passes for 2,315 yards and 26 touchdowns during his four years with the Rebels.
8. Appalachian State cornerback DeAndre Presley: Listed at 5-10, 185 pounds, he was Appalachian State's starting quarterback over the last two seasons. He also returned punts and played cornerback and wide receiver. Most NFL talent evaluators believe cornerback is where he'll have to make it at the professional level.
According to nepatriotsdraft.com, San Diego has also signed the following undrafted free agents:
1. Texas A&M defensive tackle Eddie Brown: At 6-0, 321 pounds it's unclear where he could fit in the Chargers' 3-4 scheme. In 2011 he had 29 tackles and three sacks. He had 33 repetitions on the 225-pound bench press at Texas A&M's Pro Day in March.
2. Mississippi Valley State wide receiver Paul Cox: During his four seasons with the Delta Devils, this 6-4, 198-pounder caught 92 passes for 1,701 yards and 13 touchdowns.
3. Toledo running back Adonis Thomas: During his four years with the Rockets, he rushed for 2,630 yards and 21 touchdowns and caught 63 passes for 723 yards and three scores. As a junior in 2010 he rushed for 1,098 yards, a 6.3 average, and eight touchdowns and caught 31 passes 372 yards and two scores. As a senior last year he rushed for 1,071 yards, a 6.3 aveage, and 12 touchdowns and caught 32 passes for 350 yards and a score.
4. USC defensive tackle Christian Tupou: At 6-2, 289 pounds he will probably try to make it at as a defensive end in the the Chargers' 3-4 scheme. He missed all of the 2010 season after tearing ligaments in his knee during USC's spring game. Before that he made 21 starts, in which he collected 37 tackles, seven tackles for losses, and a sack. He came back and had 16 tackles in 2011.
5. UCLA offensive guard Mike Harris: Played offensive tackle for the Bruins, for whom he started three years. He's expected to switch to guard in the NFL. At 6-5, 326 pounds he's considered a powerful run-blocker. He was suspended for the 2010 season-opener after violating team rules.
