Pair of Chargers named to ESPN’s All-Rookie Team

The Chargers got a lot of production from their rookie class this past season. But two players in particular shined among the crop.

They were offensive tackle Joe Alt and wide receiver Ladd McConkey, who were named to ESPN’s All-Rookie Team.

Alt, the No. 5 overall selection of the 2024 NFL draft, played to his first-round billing. He was a wall in pass protection, allowing one or fewer pressures in 11 of his 16 games. This came against some of the league’s best pass rushers, too.

McConkey, Los Angeles’ second-round pick, quickly established himself as Justin Herbert’s top target. The former Georgia product finished with 82 receptions for 1,149 yards and seven touchdowns en route to shattering multiple franchise rookie records.

Los Angeles also got significant contributions from cornerbacks Cam Hart and Tarheeb Still.
