The Chargers need wide receivers to step up after the losses of Keenan Allen and Mike Williams, and DJ Chark has been showing flashes of someone who could be counted on.
In the early stages of training camp, DJ Chark has made several eyebrow-raising plays, including a few catches deep down the field.

This is exactly why Los Angeles signed Chark in May. He possesses elite speed to serve as a vertical threat, something the Bolts haven’t had at the position in years.
“He’s doing a great job at everything,” offensive coordinator Greg Roman said. “Great attitude, great team guy, smart, and he’s been a Pro Bowl player. I sense a hunger in him, too.”
Chark earned Pro Bowl status in his second season in the league, which came in 2019 with the Jaguars. That year, he caught a career-high 73 passes for 1,008 yards and eight touchdowns.
Flashes like this from Chark are very encouraging, and the hope is that he can keep stacking up these types of practices into the regular season to provide the offense with an explosive playmaker.
