Hester visited the Seattle Seahawks earlier this week. Hester, 26, has played for the Chargers for four seasons, but San Diego signed former Pro Bowl fullback Le'Ron McClain during free agency. Hester is expected to back up McClain and contribute on special teams. http://profootball.scout.com/2/1177696.html 2047 Aaron Wilson http://profootball.scout.com/2/1177696.html Fri, 13 Apr 2012 04:43:00 GMT 0 127 NFL profootball Hot News for FB Jacob Hester http://profootball.scout.com/a.z?s=127&p=9&c=2&cid=1176478&nid=5585403&fhn=1 2047 Aaron Wilson http://profootball.scout.com/a.z?s=127&p=9&c=2&cid=1176478&nid=5585403&fhn=1 Thu, 12 Apr 2012 00:14:01 GMT 0 127 NFL profootball The Chargers have two key free agents in the offensive backfield: Mike Tolbert and Jacob Hester. Although Tolbert has been the more productive player since the duo entered the league together in 2008, it would appear Hester has the better odds of returning. Read on to find out why. http://sdg.scout.com/2/1159077.html 2047 Michael Lombardo http://sdg.scout.com/2/1159077.html Thu, 16 Feb 2012 04:40:00 GMT 1 102 San Diego sdg A.J. Smith was criticized for overpaying in trades that landed Eric Weddle and Jacob Hester in '07 and '08, respectively. However, a few years have gone by and both players have proven to be worth the steep price. http://sdg.scout.com/2/1079989.html 2047 Michael Lombardo http://sdg.scout.com/2/1079989.html Thu, 16 Jun 2011 01:51:00 GMT 1 102 San Diego sdg Thanks to league-wide labor uncertainty, the Chargers don't even know what all their needs are heading into next season. There are, however, three positions GM A.J. Smith should not feel compelled to address -- and, no, we are not talking specialists. http://sdg.scout.com/2/1055822.html 2047 Michael Lombardo http://sdg.scout.com/2/1055822.html Mon, 14 Mar 2011 10:02:00 GMT 0 102 San Diego sdg New special teams coach Rich Bisaccia comes to San Diego with a sterling résumé. Less impressive is the unheralded group of "third phase" players he is about to inherit. Bisaccia will need to coach up some young talent, and fast, to avoid another disaster. http://sdg.scout.com/2/1039204.html 2047 Michael Lombardo http://sdg.scout.com/2/1039204.html Thu, 13 Jan 2011 14:22:00 GMT 1 102 San Diego sdg The Chargers are known for their high-powered offense, but it was the defense that ruled the day Friday. With nowhere to run and pressure coming off the edges, San Diego had to lean on its two brightest stars to move the ball. http://sdg.scout.com/2/990047.html 2047 Stacy Thereza http://sdg.scout.com/2/990047.html Sat, 07 Aug 2010 15:50:00 GMT 1 102 San Diego sdg San Diego's backfield will not look all that different this year. Darren Sproles will be the go-to player on passing downs and hurry-up situations and Jacob Hester and Mike Tolbert will split fullback duties. It's the change at the top -- replacing franchise mainstay LaDainian Tomlinson with rookie Ryan Mathews -- that has everyone abuzz. http://sdg.scout.com/2/982274.html 2047 Michael Lombardo http://sdg.scout.com/2/982274.html Tue, 06 Jul 2010 20:57:00 GMT 0 102 San Diego sdg There’s an NFL cliché that says the more a player can do, the longer he’ll stick around. That bodes well for the longevity of Jacob Hester and Mike Tolbert, whose roles will expand thanks to the departure of LaDainian Tomlinson and Michael Bennett. http://sdg.scout.com/2/970581.html 2047 Michael Lombardo http://sdg.scout.com/2/970581.html Mon, 17 May 2010 17:20:00 GMT 1 102 San Diego sdg With the Denver Broncos set to take on the defending Super Bowl champions this week, the San Diego Chargers have a great chance to climb back into the AFC West race with a win over the New York Giants. Here's a look at five Chargers players who will prove vital in making that happen. http://sdg.scout.com/2/917296.html 2047 Michael Lombardo http://sdg.scout.com/2/917296.html Sun, 08 Nov 2009 05:05:00 GMT 0 102 San Diego sdg The San Diego Chargers were embarrassed by the Pittsburgh Steelers in prime time. Now, the team looks to get better in a hurry with another game under the lights coming around the bend. Here's a look at what worked, what didn't work and what's next for Norv Turner's reeling crew. http://sdg.scout.com/2/906372.html 2047 Michael Lombardo http://sdg.scout.com/2/906372.html Tue, 06 Oct 2009 06:42:00 GMT 1 102 San Diego sdg SDBoltReport.com's Amberly Dressler grabs postgame Q&A's with Marcus McNeill, Jacob Hester and Quentin Jammer.

The Cardinals failed to “protect the nest,” falling 17-6, but both teams kept the game’s storylines alive. http://ari.scout.com/2/891158.html 2047 Amberly Dressler http://ari.scout.com/2/891158.html Sun, 23 Aug 2009 17:51:00 GMT 0 126 Arizona ari San Diego Chargers training camp, beneath the lights of Qualcomm Stadium Wednesday, offered everything fans wanted to see.

And while LaDainian Tomlinson, Philip Rivers, Shawne Merriman and Antonio Gates hog the headlines, several other players are ready to work their way into the limelight. Here's a look at five breakout candidates for the season ahead. http://sdg.scout.com/2/874916.html 2047 Michael Lombardo http://sdg.scout.com/2/874916.html Thu, 25 Jun 2009 06:32:00 GMT 0 102 San Diego sdg Jacob Hester will never be Lorenzo Neal -- few are -- as Neal, it can be argued, was among the greatest fullbacks to ever play the game. Certainly one of the top fullbacks to ever suit up as a member of the Chargers. But as Hester enters his second year, he does so knowing that his rookie campaign revealed he needs add some meat to his frame. http://sdg.scout.com/2/873588.html 2047 Scout.com http://sdg.scout.com/2/873588.html Fri, 19 Jun 2009 15:09:00 GMT 0 102 San Diego sdg SDBoltReport.com tells you what to expect from five members of last season's rookie class.
