Forty-years-old at the time of his hiring\, he became the youngest general manager in team history. Immediate ly following his hire\, Telesco was part of the search committee responsib le for hiring Mike McCoy as the team’s head coach. Telesco then helped t he Chargers return to the playoffs in 2013 with a roster that featured 25 players who joined the team prior to or during the season.\n\nA native of Buffalo\, N.Y.\, Telesco prepped at St. Francis High School in Athol Sprin gs\, N.Y. Days prior to Super Bowl XLVIII in January 2014\, which was co-h osted by New York and New Jersey\, Telesco was recognized for their accomp lishments on the floor of the New York State Senate by Senator Timothy Ken nedy.\n\nAfter graduating from St. Francis\, Telesco played wide receiver at John Carroll University in Ohio. He was a starter on the Blue Streaks ’ 1994 Ohio Athletic Conference Championship team\, and two of his teamm ates at John Carroll were Chris and Brian Polian\, sons of Bill Polian\, a 2015 inductee into the Pro Football Hall of Fame.\n\nWhile attending John Carroll\, Telesco spent four summers (1991-94) as a training camp intern with the Buffalo Bills. At that time\, the elder Polian was the Bills’ g eneral manager. Polian left Buffalo for Carolina in 1994 and after Telesco graduated from John Carroll with a degree in business management in 1995\ , Polian hired him to work in the Panthers’ scouting department. In 1998 \, Telesco and Polian moved on to Indianapolis\, where Telesco would spend his next 15 NFL seasons as a college scout\, pro scout\, director of pro scouting\, director of player personnel and vice president of football ope rations. He worked in Indianapolis during Peyton Manning’s entire career with the Colts and later part of the team that brought Andrew Luck to the Colts with the first pick of the 2012 NFL Draft. Telesco also was involve d in Colts drafts that featured four-time Pro Bowl running back Edgerrin J ames\, five-time Pro Bowl wide receiver Reggie Wayne\, and Dwight Freeney\ , a seven-time Pro Bowler as a Colt.\n\nTelesco’s tenure in Indianapolis was one of the most successful eras in Colts history. They played in two Super Bowls\, including a victory over Chicago in Super Bowl XLI. From 199 8-2012\, the Colts won 154 regular-season games\, eight division titles an d they appeared in the playoffs 12 times. Indianapolis set an NFL record w ith 12 or more wins in seven consecutive seasons and they won an NFL-recor d 23 straight regular-season games during the 2008-09 seasons. Their 115 r egular-season wins from 2000-09 set an NFL record for wins in a decade.\n\ nIn March 2015\, Telesco was invited to be a speaker at the NFL’s Career Development Symposium in Arizona. The program\, attended by nearly 70 coa ches and front office executives\, was designed to engage aspiring head co ach and general manager candidates.
