Chargers trade up to draft Wisconsin RB Melvin Gordon

After losing Ryan Mathews to the Philadelphia Eagles during free agency, the San Diego Chargers found their much needed replacement by selecting Wisconsin running back Melvin Gordon with the 15th overall pick of the 2015 NFL Draft.

The Chargers sent a 2015 fourth-round pick and a 2016 fifth-rounder to the San Francisco 49ers in order to move up two spots from their original 17th pick. It was the first trade to take place in this year's draft.

Gordon led the country last season with 2,740 rushing yards. He also rushed for 408 yards against Nebraska, breaking an NCAA single-game record that was previously held by former Charger great LaDainian Tomlinson.

Surge not satisfied with season-opening win over Pacific

DB Sonfre Roberson (#2) returned two interceptions for touchdowns.

SANTEE (04/11/2015) The San Diego Surge (1-0) opened the 2015 season with a 73-31 rout over the visiting Pacific Warriors (0-1), but after the game, there was a feeling of dissatisfaction from Surge players and coaches.

While a 42-point win is nothing to sneeze at, there was a legit reason for their disappointment.

2014 Recap: 11-1 (American Conference Champions)

With the return of numerous veterans who played key roles in their 2012 championship season, the San Diego Surge looked poised to bring home another title. After prevailing over every opponent (and travel rule) that stood in their way, the Surge made it back to the WFA national title game. Unfortunately they would suffer a heart-breaking blowout loss to the Boston Militia, the same team that halted their championship hopes in 2011.
