SAN DIEGO -- Manti Teo is one of four draft picks whove signed contracts with the San Diego Chargers. Teo, the linebacker from Notre Dame, was picked by the Chargers in the second round after slipping out of the opening round in part because of a poor performance in the national championship game against Alabama. Teo also was part of a girlfriend hoax that drew national headlines.
