In this episode, Jake and Dan are joined by Chargers Wide Receiver Brenen Thompson to discuss Brenen Thompson’s speed and how it shapes his game, and the competition he’s experienced so far in Chargers training camp. We dive into his early impressions of catching passes from Justin Herbert, what it’s like playing in Mike McDaniel’s creative offensive system, and the chemistry and competition within a versatile Chargers wide receiver room. Thompson also discusses the finer details of his development as a receiver, the areas of his game he believes are underestimated, how he prefers to win against defenders, and ultimately what he hopes to prove and accomplish during his first season with the Chargers.     Subscribe to Chargers Unleashed Podcast: https://youtube.com/c/chargersunleashedpodcast Twitter: https://twitter.com/LAC_Unleashed Facebook: https://www.facebook.com/ChargersUnleashed Patreon: https://www.patreon.com/chargersunleashed   Chargers Unleashed Hosts: Jake Hefner (@JakeTHefner) and Dan Wolkenstein (@DanWSports)   Blueprints Host: Jason Balliet (@Syntari13)   Chargers Unleashed Podcast, and Blueprints, are weekly Chargers podcasts, part of the LAFB Network, covering all things Los Angeles Chargers.
