Chargers News: UCLA RB on List For Best Team Fit for Bolts
The NFL Draft is less than two weeks away, and your Los Angeles Chargers will be on the clock soon. The Bolts will look to add some reassurance on the offensive side of things, especially the running back position.
LA will need some running back depth, as it's been hit or miss outside of Austin Ekeler these past few seasons. This year's NFL Draft is loaded with running back talent, so expect LA to grab one of them. NFL columnist Mike Kashuba of the Last Word of Sports believes UCLA running back Zach Charbonnet could be a good fit with the Chargers.
Here is what he had to say about Charbonnet's overall game.
There is just something that feels like a throwback in Zach Charbonnet’s game. Big, strong, runs like the linebacker said something mean to his mom before the play, Charbonnet is the whole package. When you mix in that he has solid catching ability and just enough breakaway speed to be dangerous, Charbonnet is looking like the number two running back in a star-studded group.
Ceiling: Demarco Murray
Floor: James Conner
Team Fits: Los Angeles Chargers, Philadelphia Eagles, New Orleans Saints
The Eagles and Saints are also on the list. Charbonnet spent his first two seasons as a Michigan Wolverine and spent the last two seasons playing his ball at the Rose Bowl. The California native was a phenomenal back for the Bruins, rushing for 2496 yards and 27 touchdowns with an average of 6.3 yards per carry.
The 22-year-old is expected to be taken on the second day, and the Chargers will have the number 54 pick in the second round. We'll see if the Chargers are able or will snag him two weeks from now.
