Hayden Hurst had some highlights at OTAs this week for the Chargers and Jim Harbaugh must be taking notice of this. Check out Daniel Popper's article because he also talks about Quentin Johnston! www.nytimes.com/athletic/5528...
Breaking news the Los Angeles Chargers signed Alex Leatherwood the Las Vegas Raiders first round pick in 2021. The LT out of Alabama will give the chargers OL help and competition for Trey Pipkins and Jamaree Salyer at the RG and RT spots.
Jesse Minter was Mic'd Up at Chargers OTAs before training camp and he kept wanting to be in nickel formation. I thought it would be a good idea to talk about Derwin James, Alohi Gilman, AJ Finley, JT Woods, Akeem Dent, Jalyn Phillips, and the battle at the SS and FS positions for the Chargers in training camp and preseason.
Chargers Day 1 of OTAs has begun and here are all the highlights and takeaways you need to know. Asante Samuel Jr., Junior Colson, Ladd McConkey, Kristian Fulton, and Joe Alt are all important guys to note.
The Chargers signed 21 UDFA after the 2024 NFL Draft and they were: Karsen Barnhart, Casey Bauman, Luke Benson, Akeem Dent, Jaelen Gill, Thomas Harper, Zach Heins, Savion Jackson, Jeremiah Jean-Baptiste, Leon Johnson, Jaylen Johnson, Robert Kennedy, Micheal Mason, Tre'Mon Morris-Brash, Tyler McLellan, Willis Patrick, Jalyn Phillips, Tyler Smith, Zamari Walton, Luquay Washington, Bucky Williams.
The Chargers drafted Joe Alt, Ladd McConkey, Junior Colson, Justin Eboigbe, Tarheeb Still, Cam Hart, Kimani Vidal, Brenden Rice, and Cornelius Johnson.
Brenden Rice was drafted to the Chargers in the 7th round this is the steal of the draft potentially! Cornelius Johnson and Kimani Vidal are also drafted in the 6th and 7th round but also keep an eye out for UDFA signings. The Chargers drafted Cam Hart in the 5th round, Chargers drafted Tarheeb Still in the 5th round and the Chargers drafted Justin Eboigbe from Alabama with the 4th round pick on day 3 of the 2024 NFL Draft. Here is a film breakdown scouting report and analysis of him in Jesse Minter and Jim Harbaugh's defense with Khalil Mack, Joey Bosa, and Tuli Tuipulotu.
The Chargers selected Junior Colson in the 3rd round of the 2024 NFL Draft after drafting Ladd McConkey in the 2nd round and Joe Alt in the 1st round. Who will Jim Harbaugh and Joe Hortiz draft on day 3? Need to get some CB help for sure, Khyree Jackson?
Joe Alt was drafted at 5th overall in the 2024 nfl draft by the Chargers and Jim Harbaugh and Joe Hortiz REALLY want to establish the run and protect Justin Herbert. My question is, can Joe Alt catch the football still, he played TE in high school...
J.K. Dobbins signs to the Chargers and JK Dobbins signing to the Los Angeles Chargers means more to me than you think. What does this mean for Isaiah Spiller and Elijah Dotson? Will the Chargers draft a RB in the 2024 NFL Draft or in UDFA?
Jim Harbaugh has now officially hired Jesse Minter, Greg Roman, Andy Bischoff, NaVorro Bowman, Marcus Brady, Steve Clinkscale, Shane Day, Mike Devlin, Mike Elston, Chris Gould, Sanjay Lal, Rick Minter, Robert Muschamp, Chris O'Leary, Dylan Roney, Marc Trestman, and Ryan Ficken.

I'm glad Hayden Hurst is playing well at OTAs but I wanna see those UDFA TEs in action. Luke Benson and Zach Heins, how are they doing? 🧐⚡

[@rickpeterson8825]

Doing a great job with the videos and breakdowns!! Keep it BOLTED UP!! ⚡️⚡️⚡️⚡️⚡️

[@ambermchugh9381]

Me too!??? GINGER VIKING 88❤⚡❤️⚡ really rooting for Hayden Hurst, he's has a tough road

[@jrwilliamsjeromejw28]

I heard Zach was ballin from Matt Money

[@theduke2592]

Michael - you are killing it with your Chargers coverage. Very impressed with your growth as a content provider!

[@whodafokisdisguy5851]

something else I have notice is it seems like Darius Davis is putting on a good amount of muscle too.

[@losc.1587]

Darius is on his Tyreek Hill arc 💪🏾

[@ttteeelll]

I hope he’s doing that to get some playing time at Runningback. Would love him to be our gadget player

[@Dylan_AlphaLoneKing]

DD looks fresh out there forsure

[@rickpeterson8825]

Hurst was cookin' in this practice....

[@ambermchugh9381]

I love this way of planning and practicing for every possible worst case scenario. Too many times someone gets hurt and everything is chaos and falling apart

[@carlosp5667]

Woods went up at least 7 feet if not more to get that ball that’s absolutely wild 😂

[@Jhoanglink32]

Love your videos! gets me more and more pumped to see the chargers this season! keep it up

[@Eviljhomer]

I appreciate the content you put out so much, currently so drunk typing this but fr anytime my homies need chargers updates I send them a link to one of your videos🙌 you got the most in depth coverage of the chargers, please keep it up❤️

[@user619tlsdca5]

Saw the title and Im saying Hurst before watching video post.?. Hayden Hurst is the most unpredictable elusive TE next to Kelce ,. Been seeing many highlights thru out his career and it is the look of him not having that appeal of a Baller on why teams keep passing him on due to young eye candy type of TEs teams feel fits their profile. Hurst is awesome and already know, he will be our new Papunu, if ya a true Charger fan, you know the drink shake TD. Great topic of a needle in our haystack!

[@linhchau9788]

Yep. The early 90 version bolts man with B Ross Stan the Man only SB appearance in 94. Sleek Papunu coconut TD drink celebration 😂

[@theretrogrill]

Was a first round pick. Hopefully he lives up to that.

[@jameswagner2116]

You're really great in your content and I absolutely appreciate your constant interesting coverage...THANK YOU, GOD BLESS BROTHER

[@rickpeterson8825]

I don't think the RB situation is an issue! They're gonna go easy with Dobbins. He just came back from a serious Achilles injury!

[@michaeldc951]

Agreed

[@LennyMolnar-rs8df]

I always liked your videos they're so in depth.

[@ttteeelll]

He has always been really good to me , especially when he was on the Ravens. He seemed to be just as good as Mark Andrews when they played together. I’m really hoping for Parham to have a break out year and become an elite TE, he could become a nightmare for defenses.

[@erikjames8463]

Edwards and Dobbins having a day off is good news: More Vidal, Spiller, and Dotson reps

[@MrYatesj1]

Leatherwood can be in the rotation fer sure. Love your idea as him as a Guard

[@adammiller6606]

Leatherwood. Now that’s a football players name - ⚡️⚡️⚡️’s

[@scotedemontez2039]

I know injuries is a common cruse we deal with every year but its still early even if they have to sit out for training camp or pre season

[@luisramirez5417]

MacLane putting in so much time he’s been skipping the shave ⚡️

[@danig.barreto2030]

Honestly as far as minor injuries and things that can be prevented by simply not practicing, I rather have them happen right now than mid season

[@zengroove16]

Relax, is common to give Vets and those who know the Playbook well, extra Time off. No wanna wear down ya stars unnecessarily. At this point currently u would rather bring others up to speed and get to know more about the rooks and unknowns. U already know what The Bus and JK bring. Colson already knows the scheme very well. This way we can evaluate the others better and see what they bring. Makes it more fair, keeps from overworking our players. Keeps injuries down and provides morale and rest. Let's us try out some new groupings. This is the part of the season that we can experiment with. Let's players try new positions and let's Coaches experiment with new plays or formations, new techniques and new lineups. It's a learning experience for all involved as Coach Har puts his stamp on the Team. Exciting Times. I Love it! #BoltUp ⚡️

[@stephengrzybowski4374]

Bolt Up

[@sernafamily275]

There’s rumors of Tee Higgins being on the trade block, but I think the odds of the Chargers spending a bunch of money on him are low, especially since we let our other big money receivers walk.

[@todaywaspretty6309]

I love lo and derwin. But man if jt woods can come on and put it together a ballhawk.. we need HBK!!

[@todaywaspretty6309]

Could be those guys on extended vacations? It was memorial day... ahha idk 5 players out around same time without injury reported leads me to think personal days

[@Mr18TV]

Derius Davis showed poise as a rookie bro give the man his shot if he catches better than QJ you know what to do

[@rocketcharger17]

They want to see who is versatile . Brenden can play Center and Guard and they want to see how well he does with Mix up

[@alexl9162]

I usually agree w everything you say Michael but I feel like you don’t give Asante enough credit. He got 3 pics in our only playoff game and we still lost. He’s a top cb bro BTFO⚡️⚡️

[@dontnonowuno9953]

Its May 30 th Michael,take a deep breath on possible injuries lol

[@ct1453]

It’s never too early to prepare for possible injury’s in the NFL and especially with the Chargers. I actually liked the breakdown on what ifs.

[@Fotosynthesis858]

IMAGINE: having the chance to sign Malik Nabers… but signing an OL instead smh 🤦🏽‍♂️🤦🏽‍♂️🤦🏽‍♂️

[@calebclements4394]

I wouldn't stress about people missing ye these guys coming back from vacation and time off. OTA'S to get players back in it, still a month+ away from training camp.

[@jeremiah-rv8xv]

Veteran Starters never start camp in every practice especially if they already knows the system

[@YDCFF_]

The OL is the only position group all of the others rely on...

[@LennyMolnar-rs8df]

Chargers should sign Kelly . I don't know if he's with another team

[@TheBrah808]

We aint doing anything this year. The team is cursed. 14-2 baby

[@trevortackett4819]

Cut pipkins! And keep leatherwood! Those both could use ALOT of work. But leatherwood is younger

[@nwigchert10]

Cutting Kelley continues to confuse me🤷🏼‍♂️

[@10Or106]

Simple. New regime isn't spending ANY money to resign an offbrand Melvin Gordon with the amount of fumble issues he has. Also has ZERO advantage or positive traits in the scheme fit they are installing. Dobbins and Edwards do. I wanted to keep ekeler bc I really like him, been reliable for a while, strong as fuck, but unless he was 2 inches taller and 20 pounds heavier he was also getting cut regardless. I think this back room is much better without those two

[@nwigchert10]

@@10Or106 homie just said ek and reliable in the same sentence after mentioning $ yikes. Meanwhile the guys we are paying, aren't even there to learn said NEW SYSTEM

[@10Or106]

No, Dobbins and edwards there to RUN the new system. Roman ran the same thing with the same back room in Baltimore. Never said ekeler was worth the money and he was reliable in the role that he played in the offense. Having Kelley on the team rn would be a hindrance and a misnomer to not draft vidal

[@nwigchert10]

@@10Or106 the same team that decided they didn't want either for whatever reason. Not saying Kelley great just wanted him to get a fair shot for rb1. Drafting another RB was also confusing tho 🤷🏼‍♂️ I mean shit we had the cap space for Henry but didn't pursue apparently 🤦🏼‍♂️😅

[@joeydale3754]

@@nwigchert10kimani vidal just watch that guy is the real sleeper pick . Watch is college highlights the kid is a freak running back and was highly underrated.

[@Skywalkerog_]

If pipkins starts Herbert will get hurt

[@tonywright282]

They should start Jamaree Salyer at RG next to RT Joe Alt that is the best fit and either trade Pipkins or release him to save on cap space since signing Alex Leatherwood who can play outside as a backup tackle & inside as a backup guard

[@BratatoChip]

How are this many dudes hurt already , what a joke

[@andrewbird57]

Jaimes isn't going to take Zion's job, I'm not sure Jaimes will even make the team. Hurst was a 1st round pick. The Ravens drafted him ahead of both Lamar Jackson and Mark Andrews in 2018, and he was a 25 year old rookie. He'll be 31 this season. I'm hoping he can be a competent, serviceable TE, but he's not going to be elite, Dissly neither. They can both contribute to a dynamic and diverse passing attack though.
