"It will be fascinating to perceive how we're utilized."

Manumaleuna is presently recorded as a fullback and in addition a tight end on the profundity outline. Furthermore, Wilson was a starter at a similar position amid his residency with the Kansas City Chiefs.
Chargers quarterback Philip Rivers appears to be content with the plenty of tight closures.
"Doubtlessly that Brandon was, and unquestionably could be, a starter in this alliance," Rivers said. "What's more, Wilson has played a ton of ball, so they all are incredible supplements in the passing amusement.
"Furthermore, they are not quite the same as Gates, conveying a ton of significant worth to our football group."
Manumaleuna, obviously, has been an imperative piece of the Chargers for three seasons and his part will extend this year with his backfield obligations.
"We realize what Brandon implies, you know, such a great amount in the run amusement," Rivers said. "In any case, you think back finished the previous a few years and the third-down transformations he's made. You know, you have Gates, and Vincent (Jackson) and (Chris) Chambers and all these folks running here and there the field.
"At that point you discover Brandon on a little snare or a check down, and he thunders and falters to get some initially downs, and he knows his part, hell of a colleague, and truly a major piece of our offense."
Wilson is on all the scope and return groups while Manumaleuna is likewise an uncommon groups normal.
At the point when gotten some information about his position this week, Wilson grinned and stated, "Simply place me in." Preference: "Playing."
Wilson is not being presumptuous. He's not requesting the ball.
"When you are playing behind a Hall of Famer, you need to make chances to get onto the field," said Wilson. "You need to wear more than one cap.
"I'm only a football player who is recorded as a tight end. I'll play anyplace, just some place."
Entryways is not the main potential Hall of Fame tight end that Wilson has played behind. Before Gates, there was Tony Gonzalez at Kansas City for four seasons.
"I've taken in a great deal from both," said Wilson, a 2004 second-round pick of the Chiefs who marked with the Chargers before last season in the wake of being discharged by the Eagles.
In the wake of showing up in just three normal season recreations in 2008, the 6-foot-2, 245-pound Wilson began both the Chargers' postseason amusements.
"I was energized by the chance of getting in with the general mish-mash here on an exceptionally gifted group," said Wilson, a financial aspects major at Pitt who likewise communicates in Portuguese and plans to look for a MBA following the finish of his playing vocation.
"It may resemble a bizarre circumstance with three tight finishes. Be that as it may, it's been beneficial for me. It gave me a chance to take my amusement to a larger amount.
The 6-foot-2, 295-pound Manumaleuna was a fourth-round pick of the St. Louis Rams in 2001 out of Arizona. He went to the Chargers on April 30, 2006, in return for a fourth-round draft pick.
Manumaleuna sees adequate open door for everybody.
"We're all feasible targets. Perhaps groups won't have the capacity to concentrate on Antonio to such an extent. In the event that they do, there will be openings. Different groups will have a great deal on their plates. What's more, Kris is a genuine decent blocker.
"I don't have the foggiest idea about every one of the choices, two tight closures, blockers, every one of us in there . . . it will be fascinating."
