As the Los Angeles Chargers enter Week 5 of the NFL season with a 3-1 record, many things, including the performance of quarterback Justin Herbert and ascendant wide receiver Quentin Johnston, have gone exceedingly well for the team.
At the same time, however, a major weakness for the team heading into the season, their offensive line, has wrought a nightmare scenario upon them with their injury struggles, and, now, they might be forced to regret a draft blunder they made in 2024: selecting Junior Colson in the third round.
While Colson, 22, played relatively well in the limited snaps he got last season, he is out for the entire 2025 season due to a shoulder injury he sustained, and it is possible that the Chargers may have been able to select a viable offensive lineman with that pick instead.
