Why Jim Harbaugh Could Be the Secret Weapon Propelling the Los Angeles Chargers to NFL Domination

The Chargers’ biggest signing, in terms of money and weight, was massive guard Mekhi Becton coming off a great season with the Eagles. He signed for million over two seasons. There’s some concern about Becton regressing outside of the Eagles’ great situation, but L.A. needed to improve their interior offensive line. The next two most significant signings were former Steelers, with cornerback Donte Jackson and running back Najee Harris coming over. Joey Bosa is the biggest name that’s gone, but constant injuries made him tough to depend on. Cornerback Kristian Fulton, receiver Joshua Palmer and defensive tackle Poona Ford also signed healthy deals elsewhere. The draft class brought on first-round running back Omarion Hampton, who would have gotten a lot more hype in a class that didn’t include Ashton Jeanty, and second-round receiver Tre Harris. The offseason haul wasn’t a big one, but Hampton perfectly fits what Jim Harbaugh wants to do and if Harris has anywhere close to the impact that 2024 second-round receiver Ladd McConkey had, the offense is going to grow.Advertisement”Build, build, build. Better, better, better.””To have a guy like that leading the team, you know, it shows up,” Herbert said last season, via the team’s site. “You turn on the tape, and everyone wants to play for him, wants to fight for him. And I think guys are playing energetic. They’re excited to be out there, and they’re having fun.”

Burning question

How will Omarion Hampton and Najee Harris share the load?

Nightmare scenario

The crystal ball says

A great coach and a star quarterback can take a team a long way. Jim Harbaugh and Justin Herbert are among the NFL’s top 10 at their spots, and perhaps in the top five. Pair them with a defense that was top 10 in most advanced stats and the potential is exciting. If Omarion Hampton has the same type of impact on the offense this season that Ladd McConkey had last season, the Chargers should be better. And they were an 11-win team last season. If the defense remains near last season’s level, Herbert continues to improve and Hampton plays at a NFL Offensive Rookie of the Year level, maybe the Chiefs do need to worry about their stranglehold on the AFC West title this season.
