4 Chargers who could become rising stars with strong 2020 season

The Chargers have done a fine job of grooming young stars.

RB Justin Jackson

Jackson received limited touches and missed nine games due to injuries. But when he’s touched the ball, he’s been productive, amassing 38 carries for 222 total yards and 5.8 yards per touch.

With Melvin Gordon no longer around, Jackson could thrive. At Northwestern, Jackson displayed the ability to be productive in the rushing and receiving game. Jackson averaged 1,360 rushing yards and 214.5 receiving yards.

Even after drafting RB Joshua Kelley in the fourth-round of this year’s draft, the team is still “very high” on Jackson despite the durability concerns. If he can stay healthy, Jackson could become a very efficient back.
