The Chargers traded up in the second round of the 2024 NFL Draft to select Ladd McConkey in hopes that he’d help the team’s passing attack heading into year one under head coach Jim Harbaugh. Even if you were high on McConkey following his selection, I don’t think anyone would have expected him to have the type of record-breaking season he put together a season ago.
After managing to record 50 or more receiving yards just once in his first six professional games, McConkey broke out for 111 yards and six touchdowns against the Saints in Week Seven.
