How long have you been a fan of KIND bars?

I've been a fan of KIND for a long time. I think it kind of started out with the granola. I always had it in the pantry growing up and then at our football facility, we always have the little KIND bars. And so, in between meetings after practice, I'm always going to those.

How important was the philanthropic component of this partnership?

Yeah, I thought it was really cool. I think the opportunity to support two great causes and come to a place like Paws for Life K9 Rescue, and really give back, and have an opportunity to show kindness. I think the work that they've done with the Chargers as well has been so helpful, and it's so good, especially in the community of L.A., there's just so much support. It's been really fun so far.

Los Angeles is a very community-driven city. What do you think fans' reaction will be to your meaningful act of kindness on World Kindness Day?

Yeah, I think it's going to be really big because they've shown us so much support in Los Angeles, down in Orange County, and now we're able to help and benefit the cause here in L.A. that has has done so much good for the community.

As we say, kindness is courageous and and they've done such a great job of being able to take that and and keep it concepts. And if you're able to pass that on, those small acts of kindness, you know, they create a ripple effect of positivity in the world.

Who is the kindest player on the Chargers roster?

Kindest player would have to be Ladd McConkey. I think he's one of the nicest guys. He's such a great teammate, great receiver too. Great guy to be around.

zapatilla de running más rápida de la firma estadounidense | Switching gears to footwear, what shoes are you wearing off the field this fall and winter?

I'm actually a big fan of Jordan 1 Lows. I've got a bunch of those shoes. I've got a bunch of Dunks too. It's always Nike. Nike stuff is what I've been growing up with. They've got so many good shoes. So I'm definitely wearing Jordan Lows and the Dunks.

As a Nike athlete and Oregon alum, have you ever considered mixing in more player-exclusive cleats into your on-field rotation?

I have. I think it's definitely one of those things where I know what works for me and I've stuck with it. I've definitely been tempted to. I've seen guys on a team wear a lot of really cool cleats. But I think it's just the cleats that I have, they're so comfortable. They get the job done, and we'll see. Maybe I'll branch out this offseason.

Last question: Which player in the Chargers locker room has the best footwear rotation?

Best footwear rotation would have to be Keenan Allen. I always see him in some of the coolest cleats. They're always designed and painted. I don't know where he gets them, but he does a really good job collecting them.
