Ronnie Brown chose the San Diego Chargers over the Broncos
By Joel Burdeos
San Diego, CA- The San Diego Chargers yesterday signed former running back Ronnie Brown to fill in for the injured Donald Brown.
In an interview with Michael Gehlken of UT-San Diego, Ronnie Brown said that he chose the Chargers over the Broncos. According to Gehlken the Broncos were the first team to express interest in Ronnie Brown, after losing their starting running back Montee Ball to a groin injury.
"“It was kind of like a no-brainer,” Ronnie Brown said. “A familiar situation to come in and be familiar with the system, I thought it was the right decision for myself, and I just took it. Now I’m here.”"

Branden Oliver ran all over the number one run defense in the NFL on 19 rushes for 114 yards with one touchdown and four receptions for 68 yards with another touchdown in Sunday’s 31-0 win over the New York Jets. Branden Oliver certainly after Sunday’s performance will likely take over the role of feature back until Ryan Mathews returns.
