Making the Team: Three LA Chargers Undrafted Free Agents Most Likely to Make the Roster

Locked On Chargers - Daily Podcast On The Los Angeles Chargers

Crazy underdog stories happen every year with undrafted free agents, and the Chargers have a good crop this year with several players having a chance to make the team going into training camp. TE Zach Heins brings excellent toughness and run blocking to the table and his Jim Harbaugh brand of football will earn him a spot on the roster. Dan and David discuss which UDFAs they think have the best shot of making the team like Clemson Safety Jalyn Phillips. After Derwin James and Alohi Gilman the Chargers safety depth is questionable and Phillips ability to make plays against the run and the pass will give him a shot. Undrafted guard Karsen Barnhart was a key cog in the Michigan Wolverines National Title run under Jim Harbaugh, and has a chance to earn a reserve line spot with Los Angeles.
