Los Angeles Chargers head coach Jim Harbaugh has a reputation as a player’s coach and it’s not exactly hard to see why. Each and every week, it seems like there’s a new Harbaughism hitting the airwaves.

At Thursday's media availability, head coach Jim Harbaugh highlighted 12 "ascending" players. Out of the crop, eight of them are newcomers to the Chargers, so it's encouraging to know that they are getting acclimated to the system and getting the attention of Harbaugh and the rest of the coaching staff.
