Herbert, as we mentioned above, has hit it off with McDaniel, who is viewed as one of the league's top offensive minds.
"We're looking to master and be elite at everything that we do and being able to own the position in a new way," McDaniel said of Herbert in May. "Being able for him to own the position a way he never has and ultimately, for it to be obvious to everyone around that he's playing the best football of his career."
Hampton, meanwhile, could thrive in McDaniel's system as he has both the size, power and speed to be a workhorse running back.
"He's got a lot of really good qualities, a lot of really good traits," Chargers running backs coach Max McCaffrey said of Hampton last month. "Being able to carry that speed at that size is something special. It's really special and I'm excited to see what he does with it this year."
McConkey could be in line for a bounce back year after he set Chargers single-season rookie records for receptions and receiving yards in 2024.
McDaniel noted in May that McConkey could thrive in his system given his speed and skillset.
"Ladd is a guy that, coming out, I really saw as a perfect fit for the multitude of ways you can get him the ball and how he takes low risk throws and completions and turns them into long gains and his ability to separate versus man coverage," McDaniel said.
Throw in a revamped Chargers offensive line, which includes the return of Rashawn Slater and Joe Alt, and the Bolts could boast one of the league's best overall offenses this season.
