The Chargers lost fullback Derek Watt earlier this offseason after he signed with the Steelers.
Coach Anthony Lynn said that the team plans to have a fullback to fill the void, adding, “We have a couple of prospects for that.”
Among the crop is former South Dakota State FB Mikey Daniel.
According to Draft Wire’s Justin Melo, Los Angeles had a virtual pre-draft meeting with Daniel.

Daniel is one of the top fullbacks in this year’s draft class. Not only is he reliable as a pass-blocker, but he can run the ball and catch the ball well out of the backfield.
Daniel, the 6-foot and 235 pounder finished his colleigate career with 1,728 rushing yards and 29 touchdowns on 364 carries.
In 2017 and 2019, Daniel earned Missouri Valley Football Conference (MVFC) Honor Roll.
Daniel currently projects as a Day 3 option or priority free agent.
