The 2025 NFL Draft is still a few months away, but it’s never too early to start looking at potential prospects who could make an impact on the league.
The Los Angeles Chargers have had some ups and downs in recent years, but they also have an embarrassment of riches when it comes to young talent—and they have a coaching staff with many years of experience under their collective belts.
With these assets on the field and sidelines, they could be primed for future success.
Let’s take a look at some potential prospects that could fit well with the Chargers’ roster and help take them to the next level.
WR Theo Wease Jr. // Missouri
Theo Wease Jr., a standout wide receiver at Missouri, presents an enticing proposition for the Los Angeles Chargers as they look to bolster their offensive arsenal. While most eyes are on his teammate Luther Burden III, Wease quietly shines with his impressive (and growing) reputation boosted by a stellar 2023 season.
A transfer from Oklahoma and now Missouri’s leading receiver, Wease capitalizes on his 6’2″, 192-pound frame and remarkable speed, clocking in a 40-yard dash as low as 4.42 seconds. His blocking skills may need fine-tuning as it’s an area crucial to the Chargers’ current scheme under Jim Harbaugh, but his potential to serve as a potent deep threat is undeniable.
EDGE/LB Jalon Walker // Georgia
Jalon Walker, a standout junior at Georgia, brings a unique skill set that excites many prospective teams, including the Los Angeles Chargers. Hailing as a true “tweener” between an edge rusher and off-ball linebacker, Walker reminds many of former Charger Kyle Van Noy, offering flexibility and athletic prowess.
This season, he has masterfully split his time between pressuring quarterbacks and taking on more strategic responsibilities off the ball. His ability to adapt and excel in dual roles positions him as a valuable asset, particularly for a team like the Chargers under Jesse Minter’s adaptable defensive scheme.
Although he occasionally displays a slight hesitation in processing plays, his raw athleticism and potential promise a high ceiling. For those who follow NFL football betting, this could be a potential sleeper pick for the Chargers in the 2025 NFL Draft.
OL Grey Zabel // North Dakota State
Grey Zabel has rapidly emerged as one of the premier FCS prospects this season, garnering significant attention for his versatility and skill set. With his name etched inside the top 50 list on The Athletic’s Dane Brugler, Zabel has also been selected for the prestigious Senior Bowl, affirming his status as a coveted talent.
During his tenure at North Dakota State, Zabel showcased his adaptability, starting as a tackle—on the right in 2023 and left in 2024. Despite his tackle experience, many teams project him as an interior lineman with a specific potential at center, which should pique the Chargers’ interest.
With Bradley Bozeman’s inconsistent play, the stability and potential Zabel offers could be exactly what the Chargers need.
CB Zy Alexander // LSU
Zy Alexander has quickly become a standout figure in college football, turning heads with his exceptional performance at LSU. After a challenging first year in 2023, Alexander improved exponentially, allowing the fewest yards in coverage (41) of any Power 4 cornerback this season, according to Pro Football Focus. This remarkable stat reflects the significant growth in his game.
Starting his collegiate career as an FCS Freshman All-American at Southeastern Louisiana, Alexander possesses the physical attributes—standing at 6’2″ and 194 pounds—necessary to handle the demands of the NFL.
Although not the fastest sprinter on the field, he excels as a reliable tackler and is adept in run support, showcasing a physical play style. His experience on special teams, akin to Chargers’ Deane Leonard, could make him a valuable asset in Los Angeles. His invitation to the Shrine Bowl further underscores his readiness for the next level.
EDGE Kyle Kennard // South Carolina
Kyle Kennard will be welcomed with open arms by the Los Angeles Chargers fans, especially as the team looks to bolster its defense with a reliable edge defender. With Khalil Mack potentially leaving as a free agent and Joey Bosa’s health concerns, Kennard’s profile is intriguing.
Standing at 6-foot-5 and weighing 254 pounds, he is built for disruption, showcasing a combination of burst, length, and closing speed that teams covet. His ability to penetrate opposing backfields is underscored by his impressive stat line: over 30 quarterback pressures and 10.5 sacks, just 2.5 shy of breaking Jadeveon Clowney’s school record.
Kennard’s presence could offer the Chargers a dynamic, youthful infusion on defense, making him a valuable asset for the future.
Charge!
The Chargers are ringing in the changes. However, they have a talent pool that might be the envy of many other NFL teams.
But stat sheets don’t tell the whole story—it’s what new and experienced players bring to the field and how well they will gel.
If the Chargers’ track record is anything to go by, this draft selection could give the team something for the fans to cheer about.
