Los Angeles Chargers
Mina Kimes and Ryan Clark gave their NFL team rankings, and the Los Angeles Chargers fell just outside the Top 10.
After free agency, the NFL Draft, and all team activities, the offseason has arrived. A lengthy break between now and training camp, and with it comes rankings, speculation, optimism and pessimism. Most recently, it’s a ranking of all 32 NFL teams from ESPN’s Mina Kimes and Ryan Clark on “The Mina Kimes Show.” The two discussed their ranking of each team, and the Los Angeles Chargers fell to No. 11, as Kimes and Clark debated between the Denver Broncos...

The NFL’s Top 100 Players of 2025 kicked off this morning and the first player announced at No. 100 was Los Angeles Chargers wide receiver Ladd McConkey.
McConkey’s rookie year was one for the franchise record books. He broke former Chargers wide receiver Keenan Allen’s rookie records for receptions and receiving yards, posting 82 catches for 1,149 yards. The previous records by Allen were 71 receptions for 1,046 yards.
As if that wasn’t enough, McConkey also broke the NFL record for most...

After Rashawn Slater was named the best Chargers offensive tackle this century, who will join him as OT2?
When I posted the poll for OT1, I actually wasn’t all that confident in who would end up taking the spot. Rashawn Slater ended up winning the poll with 53 percent of the vote, but Marcus McNeill was second with 41. In my head, I wouldn’t have been surprised if McNeill had won simply because of the success the team had during his tenure. Plus, I know how rose-colored glasses work in regards to those years.
Still, Slater is our OT1 of...

We’re kicking off the journey to the Chargers Quarter-Century Team by voting on the team’s WR1 since 2000.
The Chargers were blessed with some very talented and blue-collard offensive lineman during those mid to late 2000s. From one side to the other, that front office built themselves a winner made out of high draft picks, late picks, free agency finds, and even an undrafted free agent.
Below are three of the best offensive guards the Chargers employed this turn of the century and unfortunately only two of them will make the cut for the Quarter Century Team.
Let’s go ahead...

Who will be named the best Chargers offensive tackle of the century?
It’s time to start picking our two bookends on the offensive line!
The Chargers have had a mixed bag at offensive tackle since 2000. They had a strong pair of starters during those glory years with LaDainian Tomlinson and then went through a bit of a carousel until they found another pair of starters in Rashawn Slater and Joe Alt in rather quick succession.
Seeing as Joe Alt — no matter how talented he obviously is through one season — he isn’t making the cut for this poll....
