Los Angeles Chargers poised for best special teams unit in years

The Los Angeles Chargers have continually fielded poor special teams units under general manager Tom Telesco; however, not only will that trend break this year, but the unit may end up being one of the best in the NFL.

The coverage unit will be led by 2018 All-Pro Adrian Phillips, who led the NFL with 17 special teams tackles. Returning along with him are four players within the top 30 of special teams tackles: Geremy Davis (T-26th), Rayshawn Jenkins (T-19th), Uchenna Nwosu (T-19th), and Nick Dzubnar (T-9th). They will also be joined by 2019 draft picks Drue Tranquill, Emeke Egbule, and Cortez Broughton as potential special teams contributors.
