First came Jordan Addison. Then came Tuli Tuipulotu. Two USC stars gained top-55 picks at the 2023 NFL draft, manifesting the quality which helped the Trojans win 11 games in 2022.
What did Chargers Wire think of the Tuipulotu draft selection? Good question. Glad you asked.
Here’s an excerpt:
“When rushing the passer, Tuipulotu has the upfield explosion, heavy and determined hands, lateral agility and rush instincts to avoid blockers and change gaps as well as the strength and effort to impact the run game.
“Projecting as their third edge defender this upcoming season, Tuipulotu can stand up and rush from the outside and reduce inside as a five-technique and be a mismatch against guards, similar to Bosa. By Year 2 or 3, he could end up being a solid starter
“Grade: A”
You can’t get any better than that. Tuli Tuipulotu now gets to prove that the Chargers made the right choice.
