The Chargers could be looking to this year’s draft to add another weapon to the wide receiver room.
According to The Draft Network’s Justin Melo, Los Angeles is set to have a pre-draft virtual meeting with former Auburn WR Anthony Schwartz.
Schwartz, the 6-foot and 179 pound wideout, amassed 54 catches, 636 yards and three touchdowns this past season. He had 117 catches for 1,433 yards and six touchdowns in three seasons at Auburn.
The former track star who ran a 10.15-second 100 meter, is an excellent athlete who has very good speed to create constant separation and pull away from pursuing defenders. He also has the physical tools, tracking and play-making ability.
Drafting Schwartz would be the much-needed explosive element in Los Angeles’ offense and a reliable return man for a struggling special teams unit.
Schwartz currently projects as a third- fourth-round selection.
