Manti Te'o Gets Picked by San Diego

From NFL.com:

Manti Te'o waited and waited. Finally, he found a team that couldn't wait to draft him.

The San Diego Chargers traded up to the No. 38 overall pick in the 2013 NFL Draft to grab the Notre Dame linebacker on Friday night. The Chargers gave up a fourth-round pick just to move up seven spots and grab the inside linebacker.

"It's a perfect scenario....I can't be any happier," Te'o said during a conference call with reporters. "You talk about the Chargers, especially for someone here like me, you think of Junior Seau and what he did there and the legacy that he left behind, not only in San Diego but in the NFL. I'm just excited to be coached by (linebackers coach) Joe Barry and (defensive coordinator) John Pagano, and just help and do whatever it takes to help our team win."
