The LA Chargers seemingly landed one of the best steals of the 2025 NFL Draft when the team traded up to take Oronde Gadsden II in the fifth round. Gadsden was one of the most exciting pass-catching tight ends in what was a loaded class and has real potential to develop into a legitimate weapon.
Typically, it takes years for a fifth-round tight end to actually develop into a consistent pass-catching weapon. That may not be the case with Gadsden. Gadsden wasted no time turning heads at Chargers minicamp earlier this summer and his incredible work ethic became a big talking point.
