The Chargers opened a new facility and saw their overall ranking jump to 5th in the league. A significant jump from 30th in 2024. After improvement in every category from a season ago, the Chargers were graded no lower than a C in any category. Last season, they had six categories with a grade lower than C. Remaining areas of concern include team travel, specifically space for players while traveling, and improved ability for families to park at home games.
OVERVIEW
The Chargers early selections should have instant impact, as running back Omarion Hampton will join free agent acquisition Najee Harris (photo: Los Angeles Chargers) to form a potent backfield. Plus, wideout Tre Harris is another excellent piece as a versatile receiving threat. They addressed multiple positions with their selections and the Chargers aren’t just knocking on the door. They intend to pound in down with a strong ground game and gutsy defense. All the pieces are in place for Los Angeles to run it the distance.
