San Diego Chargers LB Manti Te’o has been largely shielded from the media since joining the team. He spoke with reporters Tuesday, June 11, saying he is in a perfect place and wants to be a three-down player. Te’o said nothing matters but what he does on the field and that his teammates only care that he is working hard. He also talked about the differences between college football and the NFL.
