He was apprehensive at first, but Cosmo’s success convinced him to give it a go.

Van Noy’s attempt ended up being more of a somersault, but Cosmo was proud nonetheless.

Van Noy has played for four teams in his NFL career. New England, Detroit, Miami, and Los Angeles have all been home to the Nevada native.

Van Noy will be entering his 11th season in 2023, likely on a new team. In a social post, Van Noy announced that his time with the Chargers is all but over as he looks to the other 31 teams.
