3. Oronde Gadsden
Gadsden has been the young star of the entire offseason program for the Chargers.
On the field, he flashed in numerous open practices, including a seven-catch performance on Day 2 of minicamp that had everyone talking.
"He's shown up and been what we thought, and with the personality that we thought, which is a real competitor and a real football player," said Chargers Head Coach Jim Harbaugh. "That's what we've been getting. Thrilled."
Off the field, Gadsden has earned praise for his work ethic, which includes a daily 5:30 a.m. arrival so he can go through plays by himself on the field before the day really gets going.
Gadsden will have to prove himself in pads during camp, something he said he's excited to take on. But there's no doubt the recent fifth-round pick could provide some juice in the passing game for the Chargers with continued progression.
4. Derwin James, Jr.
Ho hum, another stellar offseason for one of the Chargers best players.
James stole the show on Day 1 of minicamp by deflecting a pass that Denzel Perryman intercepted, and he later scooped and scored on a fumble in the backfield.
The do-it-all safety then dazzled with a juggling interception on Day 3 of minicamp to cap off an All-Pro performance.
"Just continuing to stack the days with consistency," James said.
Look for James, one of the unquestioned leaders on the Bolts, to be raring to go for Week 1 against the Chiefs in Brazil.
