## Resource

Genesis Smith, the Chargers’ fourth-round safety, is poised to make a splash this season—despite tackling concerns from his college days. With rookies reporting July 23rd and veterans July 28th, Smith’s blend of elite range and ball skills could shine under the guidance of veteran coaches like Steve Clinkscale and Chris O’Leary. If he fixes his tackling and embraces the offseason grind, Smith might not just surprise—he could become a cornerstone of the Chargers’ defense.
