Los Angeles Chargers 2022 Season Preview
With a couple of big offseason moves, the Los Angeles Chargers come into the 2022 season poised to contend.
The Chargers will just have to navigate arguably the toughest division in football to go anywhere this season. This year’s AFC West features a stacked lineup with the Kansas City Chiefs looking as goo as ever the Denver Broncos with new star quarterback Russell Wilson. The Las Vegas Raiders with new head coach Josh McDaniel can’t be counted out either.
Los Angeles actually nabbed a former Raiders star, linebacker Khalil Mack, via trade with the Chicago Bears. The Chargers further bolstered the defense with free agent star cornerback J.C. Jackson.
With Justin Herbert emerging as one of the best quarterbacks in the NFL, the Chargers already had a strong offense going into 2022. The Chargers went ahead and improved the offense, too, by adding another blocker and playmaker for Herbert in the draft.
That’s guard Zion Johnson, who will start, and running back Isaiah Spiller, who could see snaps this season.
Offensive Outlook
Herbert has one of the best group of skill players in the league to work with.
Running back Austin Ekeler can get the job done, and Joshua Kelley can make plays. The addition of Sony Michel from the Los Angeles Rams will also help.
Chargers wide receivers Mike Williams, Keenan Allen, and Joshua Palmer provide a dynamic group targets for Herbert in the passing game. Tight end Gerald Everett can also make plays.
On the offensive line, the Chargers improved with Johnson coming on board, but Chargers already had a good line with the likes of Pro Bowlers Corey Linsley and Rashawn Slater.
Defensive Outlook
Mack and Jackson join an already formidable defense.
The Chargers have a force Joey Bosa on the defensive line, and linebacker Kyle Van Noy is one of the better linebackers in the league. Los Angeles’ secondary already has Asante Samuel Jr., who had a dynamic rookie year last year.
Special Teams Outlook
Kicker Dustin Hopkins will be looked to produce points for the Chargers, and punter J.J. Scott will be counted on to help the field position. DeAndre Carter will handle the kick and punt returns.
