Welcome to the Render NFL Show. I'm Kevin Clark at Stack Rider at the Render

Rinderses Quick Hits where we have a chat with the notable name around football.

Today I'm joined by Lodianne and Tom Linson, a five-time pro-bola, a Hall of Famer, a former MVP,

and as of today, the special assistant to the owner of the Los Angeles Chargers.

It's his job to win over some fans in a very busy Los Angeles market.

We talk about that, the modern NFL, and running backs place in it all now.

Lodianne, thank you for joining us. How are you?

Doing wonderful, thanks.

Okay, great. So Lodianne, you were just named special assistant to the owner of Los Angeles Chargers.

First of all, how did this come about?

Yeah, so I've always had a really good relationship with Danny Smannos and his family.

And the one thing that I know about them is they have always been really community oriented,

you know, and so over time of just talking to Danny and meeting with Danny and going to dinner,

I always said to him, like, listen, if there's any way that I can help or anything done,

or anything I can be an asset to the organization, basically.

I'm willing to do. And so this kind of came about over our talks over the last year.

And so we came up with this role where I'm going to basically be helping with fan engagement and community outreach.

Of course, you probably know about the new campaign fight for L.A.

And honestly, I can't think of a better thing to be associated with in a campaign like Fight for L.A.

I mean, when I think about my career, when I first got to the Chargers, I was a 21-year-old kid at the first rounder.

So I had to fight for respect for my teammates, fight from respect from the other teams around the league,

and also in that community. And so I'm just excited to be a part of the organization again and being this new role.
