The Chargers signed second-round selection edge defender Tuli Tuipulotu to a four-year contract Monday.
With Tuipulotu inking the piece of paper, the 2023 draft class has all been signed to contracts heading into the upcoming season.
Los Angeles needed depth behind Joey Bosa and Khalil Mack, so they snagged a 2022 All-American who finished with the most sacks in the FBS in 2022 (13.5).
Tuipulotu has the upfield explosion, heavy and determined hands, lateral agility and rush instincts to avoid blockers. This should see him succeed as a designated pass rusher early on, whether off the edge or from the inside, to be a mismatch against guards.
For a unit that struggled to get after the quarterback when Bosa missed most of last season with a groin injury, Tuipulotu should aid that department and contribute against the run on the perimeter, something Los Angeles also had trouble having much success in 2022.
