Stanford running back Toby Gerhart is scheduled to visit the San Diego Chargers on Thursday, according to an NFL source with knowledge of the situation.

Gerhart ran the 40-yard dash in 4.55 seconds at the NFL scouting combine, registered a 38-inch vertical leap, scored the highest Wonderlic score among the running backs with a 30 and bench pressed 225 pounds 22 times.

Gerhart has been mentioned as a fullback candidate, but he envisions himself playing running back in the NFL.

"I see myself as a running back at the next level," Gerhart said ."If (fullback) is asked of me I'll do it. The team's above all else. But I firmly believe that I have the skill set to play running back at the next level."
