The Chargers could revamp their edge defender group this offseason, with Khalil Mack’s contract expiring and Joey Bosa’s injuries still being an ongoing issue.
Los Angeles could address the positional room early in this year’s draft, which is how Pro Football Focus sees it in their latest projections with the selection of Marshall EDGE Mike Green at No. 22 overall.
Green would inject some youth into the Chargers’ edge room and is the only edge defender in college football over the past two years who earned 90.0-plus PFF grades as a pass-rusher and a run defender.
After transfering from Virginia, Green went on to lead the nation in sacks in 2024 (17). That type of pass rush production is what the Bolts need off the edge, as they finished 26th in pressure percentage (19.8).
At 6-foot-4 and 251 pounds, Green gets into the backfield consistently in a variety of ways, causing fits for opposing offensive tackles with speed, bend, and an arsenal of counters (arm-over, cross-chop, long arm, spin).
Mike Green (EDGE #Marshall) is electric on tape.
