They\u2019ve added former Washington center Tyler Biadasz and offensive guard Cole Strange thus far, the latter of which played under Mike McDaniel in Miami during the 2025 season.<\/p>\n<p class=\"duet--article--dangerously-set-cms-markup duet--article--standard-paragraph _1nfb3k4i _16w9vov1 _16w9vov0 ls9zuh1\">Now, the Bolts have added former Lions offensive guard Kayode Awosika to the room, grabbing a lesser-known blocker who started 11 games for Detroit over four seasons with the team. He most recently started four games for the Lions this past season while playing in 13 total contests.<\/p>\n<p class=\"duet--article--dangerously-set-cms-markup duet--article--standard-paragraph _1nfb3k4i _16w9vov1 _16w9vov0 ls9zuh1\">In all, the 27-year old has played in 50 total career games since entering the NFL and even has a start in the NFC Championship Game to his name. Awosika is a feel-good success story as a former undrafted free agent out of Buffalo who signed with the Eagles after going undrafted in 2021.<\/p>\n<p class=\"duet--article--dangerously-set-cms-markup duet--article--standard-paragraph _1nfb3k4i _16w9vov1 _16w9vov0 ls9zuh1\">Awosika has most of his NFL snaps played at left guard, meaning he\u2019s most likely going to compete with Trevor Penning for that starting spot in camp, barring the Chargers adding zero new left guards during this year\u2019s draft.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"The Chargers came into the offseason needing reinforcements up front along the interior of the offensive line.
