“I’d go to a rescue shelter, and then I think I would just get the dog that kind of chooses me.”
Daiyan Henley is a linebacker for the Los Angeles Chargers. A Los Angeles native, he played collegiately at the University of Nevada before transferring to Washington State, where he earned First-Team All-Pac-12 honors. Selected by the Chargers in the third round of the 2023 NFL Draft, Henley has quickly established himself as one of the team’s rising defensive stars.
