New Los Angeles Chargers head coach Jim Harbaugh is adding one of his former players, NaVorro Bowman, as the team's linebackers coach, ESPN reported Saturday.

Bowman played for Harbaugh with the San Francisco 49ers from 2011-13 and was a first-team All-Pro all three seasons. He missed Harbaugh's final season in 2014 due to knee injuries.

Now 35, Bowman joined the 49ers in 2010 as a third-round draft pick and played 89 games in San Francisco, plus 10 with the then-Oakland Raiders, before retiring following the 2017 season.

Bowman was a defensive analyst at Maryland in 2023, his first coaching job.
