The Chargers cornerbacks room features a trio of notables, with those being Michael Davis, Chris Harris Jr. and rookie Asante Samuel Jr.
However, Brandon Facyson is making his point that he is not to be forgotten.
At Wednesday’s media availability, head coach Brandon Staley said that Facyson is someone that caught his eye this spring.
In addition, secondary coach Derrick Ansley said that Facyson is a “high ceiling guy,” adding that the team has high expectations for him and hopes for him to be a contributor on the outside.
In practices, Facyson worked with the first team at outside corner when Harris Jr. would move in the slot.
Relegated to a reserve player since entering the league in 2018, Facyson was re-signed earlier this offseason because the new coaching staff liked what they saw from a small sample size and felt like he fit what they’re looking for at the position.
Standing at 6-foot-2 and 197 pounds, Facyson is a long press-man coverage CB, which makes him an ideal scheme fit for Staley’s defense. While he hasn’t put it all together on the field, Facyson’s physical traits are worth working with.
If an injury was to occur to one of the starting corners this upcoming season, Facyson would likely be the next man up.
In three seasons, Facyson posted 60 tackles, two fumble recoveries, two tackles for loss and one pass deflected.
