Chargers coach Jim Harbaugh, known for his colorful sayings, compared the first day of training camp to the experience of being born.
He described the energy and excitement as a new beginning, filled with chaos and attention, after a period of comfort and safety.
Safety Derwin James agreed with Harbaugh's analogy, finding it fitting for the Chargers' new team and the feeling of entering a new chapter.
Quarterback Justin Herbert, while not embracing the childbirth metaphor, acknowledged Harbaugh's unique approach and focused on his own job of playing football.
