Daiyan Henley emerged as one of the leaders of the LA Chargers' defense in his sophomore season in 2024. After making the jump to a Pro Bowl-caliber player in his second season, many fans thought Henley could make the jump to being an All-Pro in 2025.
That, unfortunately, has not been the reality. Despite a strong start to the season, Henley has struggled in 2025 and is one of the main reasons why the defense as a whole has struggled.
It hasn't been pretty, and it's pretty hard to understand why this is happening. Henley seemingly took that step to pencil himself in as one of the best young linebackers in the sport.
