A trio of big-name Chargers were in the spotlight Wednesday in Indianapolis.
With the 2026 NFL Scouting Combine up and running, a Chargers contingent of General Manager Joe Hortiz, Head Coach Jim Harbaugh and Offensive Coordinator Mike McDaniel joined The Pat McAfee Show live from Lucas Oil Stadium.
While Hortiz spoke to the media on Tuesday and touched on McDaniel's hiring, Wednesday marked the first time the Harbaugh has publicly weighed in on the move.
And there is zero doubt about how fired up Harbaugh is to have McDaniel in the building.
"Great, just learning," Harbaugh said. "I'm really leaning on how Mike sees the game. It's creative, it puts defenses in a conflict. Kind of like our players, a lot of excitement to learn everything that Mike knows.
"That's really the main thing I keep leaning into," Harbaugh added.
The knowledge of the game has stuck out in a big way for the Chargers head coach.
"I'm leaning into what he knows about football," Harbaugh said. "That's what I'm most excited about."
McDaniel had his own praise for what's been his first month with the Chargers.
The 42-year-old has thoroughly enjoyed working with Harbaugh and the Bolts throughout this offseason process, even summing it up in a few words.
"Awesome," McDaniel said. "Period."
He then elaborated.
"I couldn't ask for more. It's been awesome to join what they're trying to do," McDaniel said. "There's a lot of overlap in belief. We're coming to work every day enthused, trying to chase the same outcome.
"I'm invigorated," McDaniel added. "I'm juiced up."
McDaniel even borrowed a phrase from the head coach that has rubbed off on him since he's arrived.
"I'm firmly aware nobody has it better than us," McDaniel said. "I'm living that way every day."
Harbaugh saw firsthand last season the type of offensive mind that McDaniel is, which makes it unsurprising how enthusiastic he is to have him on the staff now.
There's a lot to be excited about heading into next season.
"Just the respect I have for Mike, his offense, we played him this year," Harbaugh said. "He got us on a look that nobody had gotten us yet. Made us go back and change it. Just things like that. I love the emphasis on the run game, play action pass. The ability to get first downs and score points.
Harbaugh added: "I felt like we needed a fresh start and fresh start we got."
Harbaugh, by the way, ended the segment on a high note when he threw a football through a hole to earn $100,000 for charity.
