Antonio Gates will look to make it the second time around after being the biggest snub in 2024.
The Pro Football Hall of Fame just announced their 25 semifinalists for the Class of 2025 and two former Chargers have made the cut.

Lamar Jackson and Derrick Henry make up the engine that churns the NFL’s No. 1 offense.
The Chargers defense will not be getting a break between their win over the Bengals and their upcoming opponent in the Ravens. Cincinnati unleashed one of the league’s best passing attacks this past Sunday night, but now the Chargers get to see the league’s third-ranked unit through the air led by Lamar Jackson. On top of that, they now also have to worry about Derrick Henry and the league’s second-ranked rushing unit.
Can I get a big “Yikes!”?
Luckily for the Bolts, they should...

The Chargers did not play a complete game, but they played great when it mattered most.
The Chargers offense was clicking in a way early against the Bengals that at times, you may have forgotten that there was a defense on the other side attempting to stop them. Justin Herbert was seemingly hitting chunk gains through the air one after the other. By early in the second quarter, the Bolts had a 27-6 advantage over Cincy that looked almost insurmountable the way the LA defense was playing.
But then the dam broke.
Joe Burrow and Ja’Marr Chase led a furious...

The Chargers offensive line was superb against the Bengals as four of the five starters landed amongst the top five in Pro Football Focus grades.
The Chargers got big games out of their offensive and defensive lines to go with Ladd McConkey’s career day. Justin Herbert also showed out in the first half to help build a 21-point lead over the Bengals on Sunday night.
Defensively, without Khalil Mack, Tuli Tuipulotu stepped up with 1.5 sacks and some massive plays down the stretch to secure a game many believed was a must-win entering the more difficult half of the 2024...
