Joe Hortiz's first draft class as LA Chargers general manager was a raving success in 2024. Based on early returns from OTAs and training camp, it looks like the Chargers' GM may have done it again with the 2025 draft class.

Somehow, partially because of the excitement around the draft class, the reigning SEC Defensive Player of the Year is becoming an afterthought. Fourth-round pick Kyle Kennard has not received the same blistering support that his classmates have received and that is bound to change once Chargers fans see him in action in the preseason.

Thankfully, fans won't have to wait long to see Kennard suit up in the powder blue.
