The Chargers have been the most well-known team to consistently find success with their undrafted free agents. The franchise is currently on a streak of 20+ years with an undrafted player making the final 53-man roster. Current UDFAs who are starters and/or significant contributors for the Bolts right now include running back Austin Ekeler, cornerbacks Michael Davis and Brandon Facyson, safety Roderic Teamer, and offensive tackle Trent Scott. Notable UDFAs from the past include safety Jahleel Addae and the legendary Antonio Gates.
With the Chargers having the third fewest amount of players committed to at this point in the offseason, they could easily bring in one of the largest crops of UDFAs among all 32 NFL clubs. The phrase “the more the merrier” definitely fits in this situation, so I cannot wait to see who gets the call from the Bolts.
The UDFA signing period is a whirlwind of immense excitement and it’s about to begin!

Joshua's agent, Rob Sheets, tells Max Sports the plan going in with the Chargers is to move Dunlop around the offensive line, and the more dexterity and versatility he shows, the "better off he'll be." Says the Chargers "love him" as a player. #UTSA https://t.co/uRLA96mCks
