St-Juste said he needed to go back to who he was this offseason and rely on what got him to this point, which is a mindset he now brings to the 2025 Chargers.
“I got recruited here by the staff because they know what type of player I am, they know I’m a competitor, they know the skills I bring,” St-Juste said. “That’s what I’m going to do, I’m going to bring that and not trying to change the way I am to fit and try to fit something I’m not, because they already know who I am, they know what I bring.
“So just bring that, bring your toolbox, bring who you are as a person, bring your competitive mindset and that’s what I’m going to do,” St-Juste added.
Whatever role ends up being the one St-Juste takes on, the cornerback comes in motivated to not repeat what happened last season — and he believes this is the place to do it.
“I wouldn’t say prove, but I would say something to show,” St-Juste said. “Like show my full potential. I feel like I show glimpses and all that stuff.
“Throughout this offseason I’ve had time to do a retrospect and looked at what I wanted to improve, what I wanted to take out my game to bring me to that full potential,” St-Juste added. “No better way to do than with a new team that’s on the rise, ascending, just made the playoffs and got a great culture and great coaches.”
He later added: “There’s no ‘I’ here, there’s no individual… You can see that those are the teams, where you put the team first, there’s no selfishness, there’s no individual than the program, those are the teams that win. I think this team has that from what I’ve seen.”
