The Los Angeles Chargers have kept Trey Pipkins around since the 2019 season despite the fact that the former Division II star has never managed to take the leap he needs to become anything more than an average player. Instead, the Chargers have remade the offensive line around him.
Even after Bradley Bozeman and Mekhi Becton joined the team in free agency, along with the selection of Joe Alt high in the 2024 NFL Draft, Pipkins managed to stick around. The Chargers' decision not to part ways with him may be one of the most important moves Jim Harbaugh's team made all offseason long.
