Melvin Gordon, Austin Ekeler, and Justin Jackson are the three men in the backfield rotation to lead the Chargers’ rushing attack this season. Each belongs on the roster, but what happens to Detrez Newsome? After a strong showing in the preseason and a brief display of potential later in the season, the team should try and find a way to retain him.

Following in the footsteps of Branden Oliver and Ekeler, Newsome became the next undrafted free agent to stand out in the preseason and draw the praise of coaches and fans.
