Ladd McConkey, wide receiver for the Los Angeles Chargers, is blessed to have a wife who shares his passion for athleticism. While the wide-out is stunning out in the field, his wife, Sydney, whom he married back in April, seems to be pushing limits in the gym. Sydney recently shared a picture after her gym session, which reflects her life goals.
While Sydney is continuing to impress in the gym, her husband, Ladd McConkey, will continue to train for his second season with the Los Angeles Chargers. The wide receiver had a phenomenal Week 1 matchup against the Kansas City Chiefs over the weekend, when his team won with a final 27-21 score.

Ladd McConkey was not the only one who praised Justin Herbert for his performance in the season-opener. Clark himself could not help but lavish appreciation for the quarterback and his phenomenal plays. Clark tweeted from his X account that the quarterback “could not have played a better football game” and that he “delivered every single time”. Clark has been known for dropping major criticism on players and immediately eating his words soon after.
