Ryon Bingham had a breakout year in 2007, proving how well he could play when his number was called. Bingham racked up a career-high 58 tackles, played in every game and even made his first two starts. The team rewarded him for his play last December with a three-year contract extension that will keep him a Charger through the 2010 season.



The Sandy, Utah native should continue to see his game ascend into 2008 as he�s now been a regular in the defensive line rotation for the last two seasons.



Bingham is a true outdoorsman. His hobbies include hunting, fishing and backpacking. It�s not uncommon for him and a few friends to take a 2-3 day backpacking trip into Utah�s Uinta Mountains to camp and fish in the range�s many lakes and streams.



Bingham lives in San Diego with his wife, Danielle, and the couple�s young daughter, Kayla. One of the family�s favorite places to visit is the beaches of Del Mar and SolanaBeach.



Ryon�s dad and older brother are both former football players. His dad, Jeff, was a defensive end at WeberState and his older brother, Josh, played defensive end at Southern Utah State.
