Chargers running out of options in decimated secondary

After drafting Derwin James and putting him in a secondary that already had Casey Hayward and Jason Verrett, many were looking forward to the Chargers having the best secondary in the NFL. With Gus Bradley as defensive coordinator, visions of a new Legion of Boom began to form.

But it never came to fruition.

Verrett couldn’t stay healthy and the team moved on from him, but Trevor Williams showed he could be a solid replacement. The team could still have the best secondary in the league on the abilities of Hayward and James plus some decent play behind them.
