7:40 "Can I keep the Chargers chain on?" Love to hear that!! Seems like a great dude and will help the team a lot.

[@ronin7997]

Mad respect that Zion kept wearing that fan made Charger chain throughout his press junkets. Man is proud to be a Bolt!

[@Maka-kk5oc]

They were selling those chains for $40 at the draft.. my cheap ass wouldn’t of given it up 😂 props to the fan that did, Bolt Up⚡️⚡️

[@keith3372]

was gunna comment the same thing, good on the fan too

[@Hyperfoxeye]

I get the feeling zions keeping that chain now as a memento lol, cool of the fan to give a player his first nfl fan gift just as hes drafted

[@4bdn_]

Whoever gave him that needs to make it a tradition!! That would be so dope

[@5sixxduce]

Love it. That’s isn’t fan made.. they sell those at Sofi. I got one. Love our picks looking forward to a great season.

The media team crushing it as per usual. Common Chargers W

[@timsmoot2468]

He seems very very smart, calculated and humble. Excellent pick up for us. We got the Hulk protecting Herbert now for years to come. Welcome to the Bolt Fam Zion. ⚡️⚡️

[@fried_funk]

I really like this guy, I'll root hard for him, seems really a good guy and I am proud my team always has character in mind when choosing players. GO BOLTS !

[@daewoo9835]

Yes! I totally agree. This man’s character shines!

[@MikaeIe90]

7:07 “It’s not comin’ off. I gotta keep it on.” Way to rep for the fans! ⚡️

[@beeasyian1950]

Chargers media is SOOO MUCH better than my other favorite teams. You guys are tremendous, the layers we get from the behind the scenes doesn’t compare.

[@TybolaVirus28]

I liked the pick, now I love it. This dude seems so genuinely pure and humble. Love the chain and how he wouldn't take it off 😂 overall you can tell his momma raised him right and regardless of anything he does in this league I'm rooting for him.

[@godswarrior45]

I can't wait until the season starts this team is awesome I know we're making the playoffs this year at minimum at maximum Super Bowl Champs Bolt Up ⚡⚡⚡

[@franzchongco1528]

I really love this kid. He's so humble and he looks like he really wants to make LA proud. BOLT UP!

[@jexxy1806]

Welcome to the Bolt Family! So psyched to have this guy and to have his mom be there was just 100% heart warming.

[@guilhermepsn1129]

Nice content...that is what a footbal team social media should be...back stages and bts...bravo chargers media

[@markmorales4385]

Seems like a genuinely great dude. Well-spoken, humble, confident. Glad we picked him up.

[@isaiahallen844]

That face is too damn wholesome! It reminds me of Slater last year, which gives me a great feeling about his future success. That's all I thought while watching him live make his way to the stage. LA is gonna love you Zion!!!

[@jakegarcia5183]

The thought of those two guys defending Herb's back 💙💛💙💛

[@samshaf2594]

"Can I keep the chargers chain on?" This guy seems like a sweetheart I love him already

[@FL1PSID3]

Zion is a G for saying “I got to keep the chain on.”

[@samcalderas870]

This must have been tiring for him. I'm glad he's on our side protecting Herbert.

[@ytchannel1571]

LA CHARGERS ALL THE WAY BABY EVERY YEAR SINCE HERBERT BEEN GETTING BETTER LETS GO TO THE CONFERENCE CHAMPIONSHIP THIS YESR

[@wilsonfisher5011]

Yo, he's so calm yet excited. If he's talking about that anger bro...it's probably a legendary rage that should be feared. LOVE IT!!!!

[@stokespike]

“Can I keep the chargers chain on” this guy is great

[@konnorkanetani6414]

Man getting drafted is exciting but damn it must be exhausting! Put you thru 2+ hours of media appearances, interviews, videos before you can go celebrate with your fam and friends. Anyway seems like a top tier player and an even better individual! GO BOLTS!!

[@jal2550]

So the Chargers are just churning out these Glorious mini-documentaries like its nothing. How lucky are we BoltFam?!!!!

[@ThePixarDude]

Imagine the Mini Movie when the Chargers win the Super Bowl

[@yourdumbeyes]

Man that talk Staley had with Zion and his mom is really special. The look on his moms eyes just said everything…she’s looking at the man who’s going to take care of her son and I think Brandon really comes across like he cares.

[@demsla-p5z]

man Zion is a well spoken individual. Im going to be a fan of this guy for a long time. Congrats Zion. Youre a monster .

[@djakadt]

This was awesome behind the scenes content! Also love that Zion insisted on keeping on the bolt chain the ENTIRE night.

[@robmanfred6262]

Love this dude! Solidified it for me at 7:07 when he was talking about his new chain!

[@emmanuelvazquez3735]

Damn got hella chills watching this. Lets gooo ⚡️⚡️⚡️⚡️

[@dannewth9817]

Wow blessed with style talent charm and yet humble.

[@Lbsmith94]

Wow… when he saw that letter from his mom I started balling my eyes out! So happy for the man, & for my team!

[@troypolamalusamoanislandsp4821]

Y'all need to go back to San Diego and get your own stadium.

[@royceskepagny6182]

@@troypolamalusamoanislandsp4821 They got their stadium here in L.A. San Diego was never their home. Los Angeles is the Chargers true home. Always was, always will be.

[@devon2762]

The Spanos attack is hilarious

[@malcolmm4455]

Wow, this looks exhausting. Good on Zion for taking it all in. Introverts would knock out at the end of the all this, I'm tired just watching it. Also, Staley just has a different vibe with people, he's such a great communicator. You can see how relaxed Zion is with Staley.

[@andreecija7885]

Bolt Up Man ⚡⚡⚡

[@ki11atv27]

look there are different people in this world and how they act when signed some are tough and some are like this. humble, Kind and Thankful wowed even that they even made it to the big league. it brings me so much joy to see how he acted and i am a cleveland browns fan we are ride or die for life. But Zion Johnson you have a new fan and i will always support you who ever you are with and thank you LA Chargers i will be rooting for you guys now as well. i will be there OCT 9TH to watch you guys play my team but i will be cheering on both teams that day. god Bless and have a wonderful day to who ever reads this.

[@ZiWishes]

Lol I love this guy already “Can I keep the chargers chain on?”😂😂😂 legend in the making!

[@BrodyKramer]

Can not wait to see this kid take that field for the first time. Seeing this.. It just seems like without a doubt he’s going to be training every single day for that moment of his first game. These next 10+ years with the guy are gonna be fun. Bolt up baby ⚡️⚡️⚡️⚡️

LETSS GO ⚡⚡ BOLT UP BABY ⚡⚡⚡⚡

[@rickmendoza3751]

I love that you wanted to keep the chain on ⚡️⚡️⚡️🤘🏽💯

[@Arguing101]

I've been saying this everywhere, but his momma did one hell of the job. His demeanor needs no explanation. He has a masters degree in an highly competitive field. And to top it all off he is a badass Guard.

[@WyattWinterfeld]

I love it when they have their families wearing the chargers hat and they just look so excited and awe-struck! #BoltUp

[@ryankaufman8788]

Already love this dude. So fricken humble

[@georgeclayton]

Exceptional film. Well done Chargers media.

[@billsmith8961]

This was an unbelievable video. You put us right in the middle of this process. I had know idea what this whirlwind is like. I felt like I was Zion and seeing and doing something for the first time felt tangible. My heart sped up when he met TT and the Spanos came in. As much as we criticize what they do they are in position of power and it can be intimidating. I really like this kid. I agree with all the posters. Kind, polite, very smart, and humble. Wearing the chain that the fan gave him was epic. Meeting the equipment guys and entry level ppl first and worked his way up. Staley is such a leader. Knows what to say and is so sincere. Still can’t believe they didn’t fly him up over in a private jet. Sorry I had to get that in there.

[@averywhite2471]

I’m a fan of him. He definitely seems like a genuine humble person

[@Space_Burrito_Rat]

Welcome Zion! Also social media team is GOATED!!!!!! Give them a raise ⚡️⚡️

[@houstonsportsfan9479]

Im a Texans fan (am a fan of Herbert tho), but I love seeing these behind the scenes type videos from any team. All teams need to have a behind the scenes into draft room and prospects, makes it so much more exciting.

[@MrBajabug65]

Yes!!! Lets go Bolts

[@nsn5564]

GOOSEBUMPS! ZION IS JUST SO ADORABLE, I WANT TO HUG HIM.

[@johnstacy2700]

I truly believe that we were fortunate to draft him and we have ourselves another All Pro caliber player in Zion. Excited to see how he develops and adds another piece of the puzzle to our OLine. He's a beast, strong, intelligent, confident and seems like a fine young man off the field but a monster on the field.

[@TheSportsStar]

This guy is not just a great player, but an amazing person. Chargers got a keeper!

[@ashes26]

Everything this team does and everyone they get is so humble on this team!. I’m so proud too be a chargers fan from age 6 till forever no matter what happens I’m so hype for this season and the future we got building ⚡️💪🏼

[@tr455t5]

Thank you God for Zion Johnson!!!!! Let go

[@jasonbemis4884]

I'm not a Chargers fan but this kid is so grateful for what ever opportunity he gets and you can tell he will be successful after his career and come on Chargers you made your number 1 pick fly commercial lol

It was so funny how Staley was framed with his face hidden but just his hands showing like a mystery Bond villain 🤣

he reminds me a lot of zion williamson, his voice, the way he talks, personality, etc.

[@mr.d2944]

I love how we are living his memory of joining the league

[@matttufaga9387]

Starting to look like that 2006 Charger team! But I’d say better , younger and committed!

Goated social team. All this incredible content so quick! Thanks for keeping us sane until football is back. Cannot wait for this season! ⚡️⚡️⚡️

"on the field, in a controlled sense, the angrier I get, the better I play". He seems very intelligent, he reminds me of Bruce Smith.

I’m a dolphins fan. However, this young man is impressive for things other than football. His demeanor and respectfulness are to be commended as it is evident his parents raised a young gentleman. I hope he continues to remain that way. Grats.

I’m not going to lie, I was completely shocked by how peaceful Zion is.. because his tape is VIOLENT haha great pick!!

[@Bluespartan56]

I love that the photographer is hyped to see him and then tells him he was born and raised in San Diego! True San Deigans never left!

[@royceskepagny6182]

Interestingly, Chargers have more support in San Diego now than when they actually played there. Lol Fans here in Los Angeles are happy that true San Diegans are still behind the team. After all, it’s only a two hour drive up I-5. Not like they moved that far.

[@biglevi]

Let’s go !!!! Plus special hi five to that photographer in the beginning for representing the home base ..

I'm already a fan

[@Gonzo__]

I love how he kept wearing the chain

[@vonkizzle]

Seems like a super smart and nice guy. CompSci and Cyber Security??? Dude will remember the playbook like it’s nothing. Only thing that will hold him back is physical ability, which I’m sure he’ll be fine on. Hoping for the best for him as a Lions fan
