Los Angeles
Chargers

Pro Football Focus has cemented Joey Bosa and Melvin Ingram's place in history, naming them one of the top pass-rushing duos of their platform’s existence. PFF analyst Bradley Locker highlighted their dominant 2017 season, where both ranked in the top tier for pass-rush grade and win rate. Despite injuries later derailing their shared time, their collective 61.5 sacks over five seasons, and particularly the 23 combined sacks in 2017, earned them this esteemed recognition. Looking to the present and future, wide receiver Quentin Johnston expressed palpable excitement about the Chargers’ offensive direction under new coordinator Mike McDaniel. Johnston cited quarterback Justin Herbert’s elite arm talent and the overall meshing of offensive pieces as reasons for optimism. He pointed to a 65-yard touchdown connection with Herbert in the preseason finale as a glimpse of the potential firepower the unit can unleash. Following a dismal offensive showing last postseason, the addition of McDaniel signals a clear intent to inject more dynamism into the Chargers’ attack. Adding another layer to the Herbert storyline, the Chargers have signed younger brother Patrick Herbert to the practice squad. The former Jaguars tight end reportedly fielded multiple offers before choosing Los Angeles, drawn by the prospect of playing alongside his NFL star sibling. Patrick Herbert’s reported preference for blocking over receiving aligns with the reported philosophy of head coach Jim Harbaugh, suggesting he could carve out a role as a blocking tight end on the practice squad.
