Malcom Floyd was coming into his own in 2006 when his season was cut short by an untimely ankle injury. The injury interrupted Malcom’s coming-out party during the Bolts’ Nov. 12 game at Cincinnati after he had hauled in a career-high five passes for 109 yards and a touchdown. The injury was severe enough that it would end Malcom Floyd is one member of a deep and talented group of wide receivers. At 6-5, he is one of the tallest members of the group and he’s shown the ability to make acrobatic catches look routine. And with his size, Floyd gives the Chargers a legitimate deep threat. That explosiveness in making plays downfield led several teammates to christen him with the nickname M-80.



Floyd has an NFL pedigree as his older brother, Malcolm, played wide receiver for the Houston Oilers during the 1994-97 seasons. The elder Floyd is now an elementary school principal in Sacramento.



Malcom’s hobbies include playing basketball, boogie boarding at Mission Beach and playing the newest video games. He was an all-conference basketball player in high school and his team won an intramural championship while he was in college at Wyoming.
