Liuget led Illinois last year as a junior in quarterback hurries with10 and was seventh in the Big Ten in tackles for a loss with 12 1/2.
The San Diego Chargers took Liuget with the 18th pick overall in the NFL draft Thursday night. "I'm going to come in, play some hard-nosed football and help them win championships," he said.|||||||

Asked about his toughness, Liuget said: "On a scale of 1 to 10, it's a 12."
