Alfonso Boone Profile

The San Diego Chargers signed nine-year veteran Alfonso Boone (6-foot-3, 305 pounds) to a one-year contract on Sept. 22. Boone will help offset the season-ending triceps injuries to Jamal Williams and Ryon Bingham.

Although Boone has never played in a 3-4 defense, he's familiar with the men running it in San Diego. During his time with the Chicago Bears (2000-2006), Boone spent three seasons under defensive coordinator Ron Rivera and two seasons under defensive line coach Don Johnson.

Boone has appeared in 113 career games, including 37 starts. His career numbers include 150 tackles, 12.5 sacks and 13 pass breakups.
