The Chargers hired Will Tukuafu as their assistant defensive line coach.
Over the past two seasons, Tukuafu served as a defensive quality control coach with the Seahawks.
Tukuafu’s playing days began with the Seattle in 2010 as an undrafted free agent out of Oregon. He was released before joining the 49ers that same year. Jim Harbaugh was his head coach from 2011 to 2014. Tukuafu played fullback, defensive line and on special teams.
After five seasons with San Francisco, Seattle signed him again and he went on to play with them for three seasons before calling it quits.
Tukuafu will work alongside defensive line coach Mike Elston.
