## Resource

Chargers’ depth chart shake-up has Oronde Gadsden II sliding to TE3 — a surprise if you’re still riding high from his rookie year as a receiver. But preseason reps showed he struggled blocking, while Charlie Kolar and David Njoku dominated with starters. The Chargers’ offense demands elite blocking tight ends, so Gadsden’s path forward is clear: fix his run game first. A fifth-round pick with nearly 700 yards and 3 TDs last season, he’s got size, speed, and playmaking upside — just needs to sharpen his blocking intensity. If he does, the coaching staff will find ways to unleash him in red zone spots. For now, Njoku’s on track for a prove-it campaign, and Kolar’s locked in. Gadsden’s not done — but he’s got work to do before becoming an every-down threat. Listen in comfort: Get a discount on a Soli Pillow: http://solipillow.com/discount/dnn.
