Bolts From The Blue
The Chargers continue adding to their secondary by adding former Commanders CB Benjamin St-Juste.
The Chargers continue to add to their secondary as they’re reportedly signing former Commanders cornerback Benjamin St-Juste to a one-year deal. Jim Harbaugh and Joe Hortiz have now officially replaced last year’s Week 1 starting cornerbacks in Kristian Fulton and Asante Samuel Jr. The former has already signed with the Chiefs while the latter is not expected to return to Los Angeles.
St-Juste is a former third-round pick in 2021 of the Commanders out of the University of Minnesota. Before starring for the Golden Gophers, St-Juste played one season at Michigan during Jim Harbaugh’s first season as head coach in 2017.
The 6’3, 202-pounder ran a 4.52 in the 40-yard dash at the 2021 NFL Combine to go with an elite 6.63 short-cone time and a 9’11 broad jump. He’s a physically-imposing cornerback, something the Chargers did not have on the roster prior.
As a member of the Commanders, St-Juste started 45 games across four seasons. His career totals include 206 tackles, four tackles for loss, three sacks, one interception, 34 pass breakups, four forced fumbles, and one fumble recovery.
