Tre Harris should capture the attention of Los Angeles Chargers fans.
The Los Angeles Chargers have a wide open receiver room during training camp.
Ladd McConkey is expected to be the top wideout for the Chargers, but the depth chart after that looks a bit blurry.
One of the players that could make an impact is second-round rookie Tre Harris, who signed his contract just last week after a dispute in terms of guaranteed money. CBS Sports writer Tyler Sullivan listed Harris as one of five rookies to watch in training camp over the next few weeks.
It was abundantly clear during Los Angeles’ playoff loss last year that the franchise desperately needs another pass-catcher for Justin Herbert. That 32-12 loss to the Texans is most remembered for Herbert’s four interceptions, but it was also a complete no-show from pass-catchers not named Ladd McConkey, who exploded for 197 yards on 14 targets. While McConkey took over, the club got nothing beyond that with the next most productive pass-catcher being tight end Will Dissly, who logged two catches for 16 yards on five targets.
With Mike Williams retiring before training camp and Quentin Johnston having not yet lived up to his first-round status from 2023, it presents a great opportunity for Harris to emerge as that WR2 in this offense.
The hope is that the Chargers have someone who can mesh well with Herbert and McConkey in the offense.
Based on what we have seen so far, Harris has the potential to do that, but it is still very early towards figuring out his exact ceiling.
Harris could have a chance to showcase his game in the Hall of Fame Game against the Detroit Lions. Kickoff is scheduled for Thursday at 5 p.m. PT.
