Alongside fellow fifth-round pick Tarheeb Still, Hart showed plenty of promise in his rookie campaign. He appeared in 14 games with six starts, recording seven passes defended and one forced fumble. However, Hart dealt with multiple concussions and an ankle injury throughout the season, as well as a shoulder injury that he sustained during the playoff game against the <a href=\"https:\/\/sportsdata.usatoday.com\/football\/nfl\/teams\/houston-texans\/325\" rel=\"nofollow noopener\" target=\"_blank\" data-ylk=\"slk:Texans;elm:context_link;itc:0;sec:content-canvas\" class=\"link \">Texans<\/a>.

But it&#8217;s imperative he stays healthy to occupy one of the two outside spots for the entire season. When healthy, Hart is a difference-maker in the secondary, using his size, speed, and physicality to make plays. If Jesse Minter wants his defense to have success like it did last season, Hart&#8217;s availability is crucial.<\/p>\n<p>Big question: Can Hart stay healthy for the entire 2025 season?<\/p>\n<p>We\u2019re counting down our 30 Most Important Chargers of 2025.
