Chargers sign second-round pick Olshansky

CARSON, Calif. -- The San Diego Chargers signed second-round draft pick Igor Olshansky on Sunday, and he immediately arrived at training camp for afternoon practice.

The defensive end from Oregon is expected to compete for a starting position on the left side of the defensive line. The 35th pick overall missed two days of training camp before both sides agreed to terms.

"He's a little late, but that's OK. We worked it out and everybody is happy," general manager A.J. Smith said.

Olshansky's signing leaves Philip Rivers as San Diego's only unsigned draft pick. The quarterback was drafted fourth overall by the New York Giants, then traded to San Diego in a deal that sent quarterback Eli Manning to New York.

Olshansky, a 6-foot-6, 309-pound native of the Ukraine, was a second-team All-Pac-10 selection before leaving school after his junior year.

He had 58 tackles and 6.5 sacks last season.

"I'm just going to come out here and play my hardest," Olshansky said. "I feel I can contribute on the run; that's my biggest asset to the team is I can play the run."
