Chargers add another handful of undrafted free agents


Kyle Martens
Taking all the help they can get, the San Diego Chargers have signed seven more undrafted free agents, according to the website nepatriotsdraft.com. That means they have now brought in 21 prospects who weren't picked during this past weekend's NFL draft.

Below is a list of the latest undrafted free agents San Diego is giving a shot.

1. Oklahoma State wide receiver Hubert Anyiam: This 6-0, 202-pounder caught 83 passes for 1,052 yards and nine touchdowns during his four seasons with the Cowboys. He ran a 4.59 40-yard dash and produced a 35.5-inch vertical at Oklahoma State's Pro Day in March.

2. Minnesota State offensive guard Cordell Bell: This 6-3, 321-pounder was a two-year starter at left tackle for the Mavericks. A solid blocker in the run and pass game, scouts believe he will switch to guard and become backup material at the NFL level.

3. Cal safety Sean Cathouse: At 6-2, 211 pounds he's a strong safety prospect who made 26 starts for the Bears. In 2011 he had 75 tackles, two interceptions, and two fumble recoveries. He ran a 4.74 40-yard dash and 6.99 3-cone drill at the NFL Combine in February.

4. Arkansas cornerback Greg Gatson: At 5-10, 163 pounds he's quite light for the NFL level. He had 29 tackles, a tackle for loss, and one interception in 2011. At Arkansas' Pro Day in March he ran a 4.54 40-yard dash and 7.01 3-cone drill and produced a 42.5-unch vertical.

5. Tennessee longsnapper Nick Guess: This 6-2, 231-pounder was ranked the third-best longsnapper by NFLDraftScout.com. He started 25 games at longsnapper for the Vols in 2010 and 2011.

6. Rice punter Kyle Martens: Rated sixth at his position by NFLDraftScout.com, he was the Owls' punter for four years. Over that time he punted 230 times for a 43-yard average, and 70 of his attempts fell inside the 20-yard-line. He also forced 58 fair catches, and his career long was 71 yards. He earned All-America honors in 2010 after posting a 46-yard average.

7. Arizona State wide receiver Mike Willie: This 6-2, 222-pounder caught 72 passes for 872 yards and nine touchdowns during his two seasons with the Sun Devils. He ran a 4.72 40-yard dash and 7.26 3-cone drill and produced a 30.5-inch vertical at Arizona State's Pro Day in March.

If the Chargers sign any more undrafted free agents, I will be sure to post as much information on them as possible.
