Manti Te'o Picked by Chargers

A second-round pick in the NFL draft might be getting more attention than any player who went in the first round. That's because it's Manti Te'o, the former Notre Dame linebacker caught up in the bizarre girlfriend-who-didn't exist hoax from earlier this year. The San Diego Chargers traded up a few spots to pick Te'o this evening, reports the local Union-Tribune. Te'o dropped into the second round not because of the scandal but because he didn't play so well in the championship game against Alabama, reports ESPN.
