Ladd McConkey, Mike Williams, Quentin Johnston, Tre Harris, Derius Davis, Jalen Reagor, Brendan Rice, KeAndre Lambert-Smith, Jaylen Johnson, Dez Fitzpatrick, Luke Grimm

McConkey headlines this group only a year after being drafted. That’s what happens when you set franchise single-season rookie records in catches (82) and receiving yards (1,149). A key 2025 storyline will be how Herbert and McConkey strengthen their rapport.

Williams, a Chargers 2017 first-round pick, reunited with the Bolts in free agency. He should bring good vibes to the locker room and production on deep passes on the field. Johnston, a 2023 first rounder, took a noticeable step forward in all facets of his game in Year 2.

Harris, the Chargers 2025 second-round pick, was a Second-Team All-American in 2024 after leading the team in receptions (60), receiving yards (1,030) and ranking second in receiving touchdowns (7). Lambert-Smith, a fifth-round pick, has 4.37 speed, racking up 50 catches for 981 yards and eight touchdowns on his way to Second-Team All-SEC honors at Auburn in 2024.

Davis is still an ace special teams returner who flashed with two touchdown catches in 2024. Reagor came back to the Bolts in free agency while Rice will look for more consistency after an up-and-down rookie season. Johnson and Fitzpatrick spent all or part of the 2024 season on the practice squad.

Grimm, an undrafted free agent, caught 51 passes for 690 yards and six touchdowns at Kansas in 2024.

Will Dissly, Tyler Conklin, Tucker Fisk, Oronde Gadsden II, McCallan Castles, Jordan Petaia, Stevo Klotz

Dissly and Conklin are the veteran leaders of this group as each bring a well-rounded skillset. Dissly had his best season as a pass catcher in 2024 and is still a sturdy run blocker. Conklin, a recent free agent addition, brings 64 career starts and 11 touchdown catches to the room.

Fisk was an unheralded part of the offense as a blocker in 2024. Castles spent part of last season on the practice squad.

Gadsden, listed at 6-foot-5 and 243 pounds, was a 2024 Third-Team All-American at Syracuse after finishing the season with 73 catches for 934 yards and seven touchdowns.

Petaia, meanwhile, will be a player to watch this spring and summer. A former Australian rugby player, Petaia is on the roster as part of the NFL’s International Player Pathway (IPP) training program.

Klotz, an undrafted free agent, was a two-time Second-Team All-Big 12 selection at fullback and caught a touchdown each of the past two years.
