Tony Jefferson is 34 years old and has played in 134 career NFL games.
Put another way, the veteran safety has seen a bit of everything in this league.
And he made it clear earlier this week that he believes the Chargers could be a special team this season.
“I want to win a ring,” Jefferson said. “The Super Bowl is in LA, at our home stadium, so I’m trying to do whatever I can as far as being a leader and my playmaking ability to put my best foot forward on the field.”
Jefferson isn’t wrong as Super Bowl LXI will be held on February 14 at SoFi Stadium.
“How often do you get an opportunity to do that? It’s here, in our home stadium where we play our home games,” Jefferson said. “That would be pretty special.”
The Chargers, of course, have plenty of work left to do before then.
The Bolts will complete Phase 2 of the voluntary offseason program this week before turning their attention to Phase 3 next week. That includes Organized Team Activity (OTA) practices that will start to feel a bit more like real football.
Jefferson said that energy and camaraderie around the Chargers has been great in recent weeks.
“We’re able to get some plays in, run around, be around the young guys, the vets … it’s just great being back,” Jefferson said. “Another year around the sun for me so enjoying every moment.”
