NFL Network’s Omar Ruiz has been a pretty big advocate for the Chargers this offseason. He’s often in the media calls with the rest of the team beat writers to hear from the likes of Brandon Staley and the players as we all wait for this summer to tick down to the upcoming regular season.
In a recent appearance on the network, Ruiz was joined by former Packers wideout James Jones and insider Mike Garafolo to discuss which teams in the NFL right now are underrated heading into the 2021 campaign. After Jones made a case for the Broncos and their surprising defense (with Von Miller returning from injury), and Garafolo debated the Giants, Ruiz was quick to note that if Miller’s return makes the Broncos underrated, then the Chargers should also be considered in the same group with the long-awaited return of Derwin James.
