A fearless competitor who’s become a solid contributor on special teams, Tim Dobbins’ 12 tackles in 2007 tied for third on the squad. Dobbins is a compact and powerful inside linebacker that the Chargers selected in the fifth-round of the 2006 NFL Draft. While his defensive reps have been limited, Dobbins has become one of the team’s top special teams players.



Off the field, Dobbins is mature beyond his years. Tim and his wife, Amanda, have two daughters, Timera and Anna. His hobbies include bowling, golf, pool, skydiving, working out, white-water rafting and riding dirt bikes. He also enjoys watching movies with his family, particularly action films. Though he no longer maintains his collection, as a child Tim collected coins with his grandmother, the late Mary McKinney.
