Chargers showing interest in Rutgers CB who impressed at pro day

Photo by Rich Graessle/Icon Sportswire via Getty Images

Rutgers cornerback Eric Rogers has garnered interest from the Chargers and several other teams in recent weeks, including the Ravens and Giants.

The Chargers signed veterans Donte Jackson and Benjamin St-Juste during the first week of free agency to pair with youngsters Tarheeb Still and Cam Hart. That’s a fair quartet to begin the year with, but the Chargers should not be satisfied with the depth at such an important position. Ja’Sir Taylor and Deane Leonard are still on the team, but they’re from the previous regime and Jim Harbaugh likely wants to keep bringing in players that fit his image.

Per a recent interview done by The Draft Network’s Justin Melo, the Chargers have reportedly shown interest in former Rutgers cornerback Eric Rogers. At his recent pro day, Rogers impressed in front of scouts with an elite 6.84 in the three-cone drill. Other numbers noted by Melo were a broad jump at 10’3” and a 40 time that ranged from the mid to late 4.5s.

.@RFootball CB Eric Rogers impressed at Pro Day, leaping a 10"3' broad + ran a 6.84 3-cone. Scouts had his 40 in the mid-to-high 4.5s.

— Justin M (@JustinM_NFL) March 30, 2025​

Rogers began his collegiate career with the Northern Illinois Huskies where he played from 2020-2022. In three years there, he totaled 44 tackles, one tackle for loss, two interceptions, and five pass breakups.

After transferring to Rutgers, Rogers started 12 games for the Scarlet Knights with 11 of them coming as a senior in 2024. He ended his career in the Big Ten with 53 tackles, one tackles for loss, one sack, 10 pass breakups, one interception, and two forced fumbles.

Chargers send NaVorro Bowman to take in UCLA LB Carson Schwesinger’s private pro day

Carson Schwesinger was named a First-Team All-American after just his first year as a starter for the UCLA Bruins.

On Wednesday afternoon, NFL insider Adam Schefter reported that 30 NFL teams sent representatives to take in the private pro day being held for UCLA linebacker Carson Schwesinger, including the Chargers who specifically had inside linebackers coach NaVorro Bowman in attendance.

Schwesinger is currently viewed as one of the top inside linebackers in this year’s class. He held his own separate pro day apart from the rest of his UCLA teammates due to a hamstring injury he suffered while training for the draft.

UCLA LB Carson Schwesinger had 30 teams — including LB coaches from Dallas, the Chargers, Giants, Saints and Broncos — in attendance for his private pro day today in Los Angeles. He met privately with the LB coaches for Dallas, the Giants and Saints. He did position drills,…

— Adam Schefter (@AdamSchefter) April 2, 2025​

During his pro day, Schwesinger weighed in at 238 pounds on his 6’2 1/2” frame. He did not run the 40-yard dash, but posted a 7.05 in the three-cone drill, 4.25 in the short shuttle, and jumped 10’7” in the broad jump. Add that to the impressive 39.5” vertical jump he posted at the NFL combine and you’ve got one of the most-athletic linebackers in the class.

Just two seasons ago in 2023, Schwesinger was still just a reserve player for the Bruins. In 2024, he broke out in a big way, earning First-Team All-American honors while leading the nation with 90 solo tackles (136 total). He also stuffed the rest of the stat sheet, posting 8.5 tackles for loss, four sacks, two interceptions, three pass breakups, and a forced fumble.

Schwesinger’s notable agility numbers immediately show up on tape. He possesses elite read-and-react timing with a twitchy lower body that helps him maximize efficiency in his path to ball carriers. He’s also a very sticky tackler when he gets hands on, something he was able to refine as a core special teams player for the Bruins.

Great example of Carson Schwesinger's lateral movement skills vs the run #NFLDraft pic.twitter.com/MljNCKIIQ5

— Matt Holder (@MHolder95) April 1, 2025​

The Chargers are currently returning most of their 2024 linebacker room this season, aside from Nick Niemann who signed with the Houston Texans in free agency. Daiyan Henley once again will lead the group along with veteran Denzel Perryman, Troy Dye, 2024 third-round pick Junior Colson who hopes to have a much better (and healthier) season in year two.

The Chargers could stand to upgrade this room further, and Schwesinger would easily raise both the floor and ceiling of the group, but the Chargers may not get the chance to draft him at No. 55 as he’s expected to go within the first 50 picks. They also need help at positions with more pressing needs, such as tight end, wideout, and defensive tackle.

Should the Chargers somehow land Schwesinger with their second-round pick, how would you all feel about it? Yay or nay? Let us know all of your thoughts in the comments below!

Chargers sign IPP TE, former rugby player Jordan Petaia

Jordan Petaia was the youngest person ever to play

Late Wednesday evening, the Chargers announced the signing for former Australian rugby player Jordan Petaia to the roster. Petaia joins the Bolts as a tight end through the NFL’s International Player Pathway.

The last player to join the Chargers through the IPP program was defensive tackle CJ Okoye who spent the 2022 and 2023 seasons on the practice squad.

welcome to LA, mate ️

we’ve signed TE Jordan Petaia → https://t.co/ssn4tnRcmY pic.twitter.com/EAGl0pJNlb

— Los Angeles Chargers (@chargers) April 3, 2025​

Petaia (pronounced peh-TIE-uh) has been training for the past 10 weeks at IMG Academy in Bradenton, Florida in preparation for an IPP pro day held at the University of South Florida on March 26.

At the pro day, the Werribee, Victoria native measured in at 6’3 and 227 pounds. He ran the 40-yard dash in 4.58 seconds and had an incredible vertical jump of 40 1/2”.

As a rugby player, Petaia starred for his home country where he became the youngest Austrailian player to appear in a World Cup in 2019 at just 18 years old. In all, he appeared in two World Cups (2019 & 2023, the first in Japan and the second in France). Petaia played his club rugby for the Queensland Reds where he made his debut in 2018.

The NFL’s International Player Pathway was established in 2017 in order to give athletes from around the world the opportunity to pursue their dreams of playing at the highest level of football. While most players who end in the NFL through the program do not find much success, one of the most-successful former rugby players to try his hand at American football is Eagles left tackle Jordan Mailata who was a late-round draft pick turned top-three left tackle in the NFL.

*please note the RAS chart below incorrectly lists Petaia as a running back​

Jordan Petaia is a RB prospect in the 2025 draft class. He scored a 8.85 #RAS out of a possible 10.00. This ranked 242 out of 2100 RB from 1987 to 2025. https://t.co/jk0DD2X9PY pic.twitter.com/XX5r1yZsAQ

Chargers hosting LSU TE Mason Taylor on Top-30 visit

The Chargers are hosting LSU TE Mason Taylor on a Top-30 visit as the NFL legacy continues to see his draft stock rise.

The Chargers have often been connected with several of the top tight ends prospects throughout many mock drafts this offseason, but we’ve finally got some news about one of those players actually meeting with the Chargers in Los Angeles.

On Thursday morning, The Draft Network’s Ryan Fowler reported that the Bolts are hosting LSU tight end Mason Taylor for a Top-30 visit. Taylor is often paired with the Chargers in the second round via the 55th pick and news such as this is likely only going to further that connection this pre-draft process.

The Los Angeles Chargers are hosting LSU TE Mason Taylor for a 30 visit today, source said.

One of the premier TEs in the class and a player who has Day 1 buzz across the league.

— Ryan Fowler (@_RyanFowler_) April 3, 2025​

Taylor is the son of Pro Football Hall-of-Famer Jason Taylor, one of the best pass rushers in Miami Dolphins history. The 6’5, 251-pounder has seen quite the surge up draft boards in recent weeks due to a strong performance at both the Reese’s Senior Bowl and the NFL Combine.

In three years with the Tigers, Taylor recorded 1,308 receiving yards on 129 receptions with six touchdowns. This past year, Taylor posted a career-high 55 receptions (also a school record)and 546 receiving yards with two touchdowns. In fact, Taylor became the first tight end in LSU history to end his career with over 100 receptions and 1,000 receiving yards.

On the field, Taylor is an easy mover with the athleticism to win at all three levels of the feels against linebackers and defensive backs. Paired with strong effort as a run blocker — albeit this is an area he needs to improve on — Taylor is most certainly one of the most well-rounded tight ends in the draft.

At his recent pro day, Taylor ran a 4.65 40-yard dash, benched 28 reps of 225 pounds, and posted a 7.06 in the three-cone drill.

While I don’t believe the first-round hype is warranted, Taylor landing somewhere in the mid to late parts of the second round would not surprise me in the slightest. The Chargers need to invest in a young tight end and they could do a lot worse than Taylor with the 55th-overall pick.

I really appreciate Mason Taylor's ability to catch passes outside of his frame.

Above his head, behind him, in traffic, on the sideline. Constantly making catches with full extension.

A lot of off target throws on tape & he consistently came down with the ball. pic.twitter.com/c1QNtkoaMU

Chargers sign QB Trey Lance, the 2021 No. 3 overall pick, to 1-year deal

Photo by Sam Hodde/Getty Images

Trey Lance was the No. 3 overall pick in 2021 by the 49ers and most recently spent the 2023 and 2024 seasons with the Cowboys.

On Friday afternoon, NFL insider Adam Schefter reported that former Niners and Cowboys quarterback Trey Lance is signing a one-year deal up with the Chargers worth up to $6.2 million.

ESPN sources: former Cowboys and 49ers QB Trey Lance reached agreement today on a one-year deal worth up to $6.2 million with the Los Angeles Chargers. Lance and Taylor Heinicke are now behind starting QB Justin Herbert. pic.twitter.com/CaOZiWMLPa

— Adam Schefter (@AdamSchefter) April 4, 2025​

The move comes less than a year after the Chargers traded a late-round pick to the Commanders in exchange for quarterback Taylor Heinicke. The trade was made as an effort to upgrade their backup quarterback spot behind Justin Herbert. Despite Herbert being one of the most durable quarterbacks in the league since being drafted in 2020, the need for a better backup was only emphasized during the four-game stretch in 2023 when he missed the final four games of the season with a hand injury.

Lance spent the entire 2024 season with the Cowboys where he started one game and played in four others. He ended the season with 266 passing yards, one interception, and 41 rushing yards.

Due to a horrendous streak of injuries, Lance only played in eight games for the 49ers after being selected third overall in the 2021 draft. After winning the starting job during the 2022 preseason, Lance lasted just two games before suffering an ankle dislocation and fracture that sidelined him for the remainder of the season.

In August of 2023, Lance traded to the Cowboys for a fourth-round pick. He was a healthy scratch all year. This past season, Lance was the third-string quarterback behind Dak Prescott and Cooper Rush, but was elevated to backup following an injury to Prescott.

We’ll have to wait to see what the base salary is for Lance because if it’s anything but a minimal deal with a bunch of incentives built in, this move doesn’t make a bunch of sense. The Chargers do not need to spend a bunch of money on a third-stringer, but there’s a chance Joe Hortiz hopes Lance can land the team a late-round draft pick from a quarterback-needy team in 2025.
