The Chargers will kick off their 2025 regular season in exactly 100 days.
With Chargers Organized Team Activity practices underway in El Segundo and around the league, the Bolts season is inching closer to beginning in Brazil.
And so are the early predictions from pundits.
In honor of reaching the century mark, ESPN’s Benjamin Solak took on the task of writing 100 things to know about the upcoming season from general things to predictions.
Kicking off with 10 under the radar names to watch for in 2025, Chargers linebacker Daiyan Henley was right in the middle of his list.
Henley, who is entering his third season, broke out last season after leading the Bolts in tackles and manning the middle of the defense at a high level.
That’s why Solak believes Henley is on the cusp of taking another step next season and going from rising star to household name.
It was Henley, the 2023 third-rounder who plays much bigger than his 6-foot-1, 230-pound frame would suggest.
Henley has the instincts, quickness and tackling ability to influence the game sideline to sideline — something many linebackers aspire to do, but few can. He got 18 All-Pro votes in 2024 and deserved more.
