Los Angeles Chargers defensive back Derwin James is going into his ninth season with the team in 2026.
James has achieved a lot in his career with the Chargers after being the No. 17 overall pick in the 2018 NFL Draft. He has been an All-Pro in three of the last four seasons, which explains why he is the highest-ranked Charger on Pro Football Network’s top 100 players list.
“Derwin James Jr. comes in as the top-ranked safety on the PFN Top 100 this year, and it’s easy to see why. Most notably, he led the NFL with an 88.5...

Good morning, Chargers fans!
In a recent interview done on the popular Youtube show Bussin’ With The Boys, Bears tight end Colston Loveland admitted that he thought he was going to be drafted by the Chargers and reunited with his college head coach, Jim Harbaugh. In the end, Loveland never made it all that close to the Chargers at No. 22 (he was drafted No. 10) and has since found his role with Chicago as one of the up-and-coming young players at the position in the NFL.
Loveland and Justin Herbert sounded like a great match in the pros, but...

The Chargers’ Derwin James is coming off his second consecutive Second-Team All-Pro selection after another productive season in which he led the defense to another top-five ranking.
Those around the league are taking notice, and it’s showing in ESPN’s latest set of safety rankings that debuted on Thursday. Per the anonymous scouts, execs, and coaches surveyed, James was ranked the No. 2 safety in the NFL behind only the Ravens’ Kyle Hamilton. James’ highest ranking received was number one overall while no one who voted ranked him lower than fifth. With these sorts of things being so subjective, it’s only...

Los Angeles Chargers offensive tackle Rashawn Slater is chomping at the bit to return to the field after missing the entire 2025 season following a torn patellar tendon.
Despite not playing last season, the Chargers offensive tackle was ranked No. 63 on Pro Football Network’s top 100 players list.
“The entry of Rashawn Slater onto this list comes with the asterisk that he missed the entire 2025 season with a torn patellar tendon. He’ll need to prove he can come back at full strength this year after suffering that serious injury, but at 27 years old, he should be better...

Los Angeles Chargers quarterback Justin Herbert is one of the best players in the league, but there is still a lot of room for growth.
Pro Football Network ranked their top 100 players in the league, and Herbert was listed at No. 80, making him the 13th-best quarterback on the list.
“Playoff success continues to elude Justin Herbert, but the regular season sure hasn’t. He’s led the Los Angeles Chargers to double-digit wins in three of his last four seasons, placing in at least the NFL’s top ten in passing yards in three of those four years. In 2026, he...

The Chargers have not had top-tier wide receiver play in a number of years but they got a view of a bright future when Ladd McConkey recorded 1,149 yards on 82 receptions to set team rookie records in both categories. Unfortunately year two did not live up to the same hype as the Chargers re-signed Keenan Allen during the offseason which directly ate into McConkey’s potential workload.
By the end of the 2025 campaign, McConkey still led the Chargers in receiving yards, but his total of 789 was still quite the drop-off from his rookie total. Fortunately, it looks like...

Los Angeles Chargers offensive tackle Joe Alt is coming off a season that was mostly defined by injury.
Alt only played in six games for the Chargers last season, but he is still viewed as one of the league’s top players despite only having 22 NFL contests under his belt. Pro Football Network ranked the top 100 players in the league and Alt clocked in at No. 92.
“Despite only playing in six games in 2025, Joe Alt made his first Pro Bowl appearance in just his second year in the NFL. Though you could argue about the validation of...
