Los Angeles Chargers Depth Chart Provides Insight Into Strengths, Weaknesses
The Los Angeles Chargers have released their initial depth chart. The chart provides insight into the team's strengths and weaknesses heading into the 2023 season.
Offense
The Chargers' offense is projected to be one of the most potent in the NFL. Quarterback Justin Herbert is entering his third season and is coming off a Pro Bowl campaign. He has a talented group of receivers to throw to, led by Keenan Allen, Mike Williams, and Joshua Palmer. The running back position is also solid with Austin Ekeler and Sony Michel. The offensive line is anchored by Pro Bowl center Corey Linsley.
Defense
The Chargers' defense has some question marks. The team lost several key players in free agency, including cornerback Casey Hayward and safety Derwin James. However, the Chargers have added some talented players to the defense, including cornerback J.C. Jackson and safety Nasir Adderley. The pass rush should be strong with Joey Bosa and Khalil Mack leading the way.
Special Teams
The Chargers have a solid special teams unit. Kicker Dustin Hopkins is one of the most accurate kickers in the NFL. Punter Ty Long is also a Pro Bowl caliber player. The return game is led by DeAndre Carter.
Overall
The Chargers have a talented roster with a good mix of veterans and young players. The team has some question marks on defense, but the offense should be one of the best in the NFL. The Chargers are poised to compete for a playoff spot in 2023.
