LA Chargers: Why the Josh Palmer selection was a mistake by the Bolts

Tennessee wide receiver Josh Palmer (5) runs the ball during a game between Tennessee and Texas A&M in Neyland Stadium in Knoxville, Saturday, Dec. 19, 2020.

The LA Chargers selected wide receiver Josh Palmer with the 77th overall pick in the 2021 NFL Draft. A shock at first, many fans have seemed to come around on Palmer and are hoping for big things for the Tennessee Volunteer in LA.

The numbers in college are not that promising for Palmer. Palmer never crossed the 500-yard mark, catching 33 passes last season for 475 yards and four touchdowns.
