Chargers sign Manti Te’o, 3 other draft picks
The high-profile second-round selection has signed, with terms undisclosed.

The Chargers took Te'o, the 2012 Heisman Trophy runner-up, after trading up for the sixth pick of the second round. He is expected to become the team's starting middle linebacker as a rookie. Te'o was widely considered a first-round player following his senior season at Notre Dame, but saw his draft stock plummet after a lackluster performance against Alabama in the BCS National Championship Game, the shocking revelation that he had been the victim of an elaborate catfishing scheme, and a combine performance that left Ravens coach John Harbaugh visibly unimpressed.
The Chargers also signed wide receiver Keenan Allen, linebacker Tourek Williams, and quarterback Brad Sorensenon Thursday. First-round selection D.J. Fluker has not yet signed a contract, but is expected to participate in preseason activities, including Friday's minicamp.
