A former Los Angeles Chargers linebacker is the new star of the next season of “The Bachelor.” I can just hear the nicknames now.

Former Los Angeles Chargers LB Colton Underwood is to star in the newest season of “The Bachelor.”

Time to find a wife ❤️

Thank you for teaching me even more about myself, and most importantly, for your friendship that I know will continue far beyond Paradise. Don’t settle for anything less than the world, because that’s what you deserve. Can’t wait to see what the future has in store for you and catch up on life some day, preferably over a hot dog dinner.

Anybody else remember who he was? AWESOME… just fill me in because I barely remember him on the roster and I feel like I remember everyone on the roster. He was on the practice squad for a bit on the Chargers, but it doesn’t look like he ever made it onto the 53-man roster.

I wish they could have went with another linebacker on the Chargers. Why not Shawne Merriman? We could have had a little Tila Tequila in the mix and I might have actually tuned in to “The Bachelor.”

That’s another thing… does anyone here watch “The Bachelor?” Just let us know what that show is all about as well. Really left clueless on the show and the player, but I know some of you guys likely will remember some little story from Underwood and then I am sure there are others on here that watch The Bachelor. That just means that this post is for you and you can talk about it all at the bottom in the comments section.

Actually, for all the people that don’t know who either Colton Underwood is or watch “The Bachelor,” what player would you want to see on a reality show? I think I could watch Philip Rivers at home trying to find all of his kids. It could be the same type of show with Antonio Cromartie.

For the ladies, which of the current Chargers would you want to see on the show?

I would probably watch a reality show of Derwin James. He already intrigues me and has me watching his every move. Looking forward to watching him develop into a star.

Ok… which one of you are watching the bachelor?
