5/27/25 | Chargers' Ladd McConkey shoves ahead of DK Metcalf in NFL's Top-32 WR rankings. It's fair to say nobody outside of the Los Angeles Chargers saw the vision for Ladd McConkey last year. Many criticized the Bolts for passing on a pass catcher with their first-round pick, electing to take Notre Dame tackle Joe Alt at No. 5 instead. Seeing as how McConkey exploded onto the scene as a rookie, the Chargers won in the end by landing both a solid protector and dynamic weapon for Justin Herbert. McConkey's rookie season isn't talked about enough. Source: https://www.si.com/nfl/chargers/chargers-ladd-mcco... |
5/23/25 | Chargers boast one of NFL's most important veteran vs. rookie roster battles. The Los Angeles Chargers went into this offseason with one major goal in mind: improve the offense. The Bolts hit on last year's second round pick Ladd McConkey, but failed to generate any type of offense outside of him, as was evident in their unfortunate Wild Card loss. The Chargers added Tre Harris and brought back Mike Williams to the receiver room, but they really overhauled the running back core. Source: https://www.si.com/nfl/chargers/chargers-boast-nfl... |
5/19/25 | Chargers' budding star Ladd McConkey gets his flowers, outranks Brian Thomas Jr.. Los Angeles Chargers wideout Ladd McConkey wrote his name in the franchise record books last season as a rookie, making the team's decision to trade up and get him in the second round of the draft a brilliant move.

5/07/25 | Chargers think rest of NFL sleeping on rookie capable of being 'complete receiver'. The Los Angeles Chargers didn't make the Round 1 splash at wideout some expected in the 2025 NFL draft. But they did make a splash in the second round with Ole Miss' Tre Harris—which has left the door wide, wide open for history to repeat itself. Those Chargers, after all, aggressively traded up in the second round in 2024 and landed on No. 1 wideout Ladd McConkey. Now, they think they've done it again with Harris. ESPN's Jeremy Fowler detailed the situation: “General manager Joe Hortiz stayed patient and got his man -- second-round receiver Tre Harris out of Ole Miss. He's billed as a deep threat, but part of what drew the Chargers to him is that he has more in the tank. The Chargers say they Source: https://www.si.com/nfl/chargers/chargers-nfl-sleep... |
5/04/25 | Chargers' Joe Hortiz isn't shy about process behind Omarion Hampton draft pick. The Los Angeles Chargers wound up rebuking trade offers that even head coach Jim Harbaugh called reasonable to draft Omarion Hampton in the first round. One year removed from standing strong and drafting Joe Alt, then backing into a high-end wideout like Ladd McConkey via trade up anyway, Chargers fans have very much learned to trust the process. "We stack our players one to 200," Hortiz said during an appearance on Pat McAfee's show. Source: https://www.si.com/nfl/chargers/chargers-joe-horti... |
