Chargers land 2 players named as potential ‘sleepers’ prior to 2025 NFL Draft

Back on April 14, ESPN’s Adam Rittenberg published an article where he spoke with a number of anonymous college football coaches to get their opinions on players in the draft class they believe could be “sleepers” when it’s all said and done.

Of the 29 players highlighted, the Chargers ended up drafting or signing two of the players. They were tight end Oronde Gadsden II, whom they selected in the fifth round, and undrafted free agent running back Raheim “Rocket” Sanders.

The Chargers traded back into the fifth round in order to land Gadsden who was essentially the last tight end in that Tier 1.
