Chargers' Four Stars Shine on ESPN List | Los Angeles Chargers News

ESPN’s top 100 list shines a spotlight on four Chargers poised for breakout seasons: Rashawn Slater (95), Joe Alt (86), Derwin James Jr. (89), and Justin Herbert. Slater, making his debut after a knee injury sidelined him last year, is expected to return to Pro Bowl form. Alt, also a first-timer at 86, dominated in limited action and fits perfectly with new OC Mike McDaniel’s system. James Jr., now ranked 89, continues his elite play with career-high interceptions and a vital role in the new blitz-heavy defense. Herbert, long talented but underutilized, gets a fresh start under McDaniel’s simplified offense—aimed at unlocking his deep-ball potential. With health as the key variable, especially on the line, this core could turn the Chargers’ season around in a tough AFC.
