Report: Chargers hiring Kevin Koger as tight ends coach

The Los Angeles Chargers have a new tight ends coach.

The Chargers coaching staff is continuing to take shape.

According to ESPN’s Rob Demovsky, Los Angeles is hiring former Packers offensive quality control coach Kevin Koger as the team’s tight ends coach.

Koger fills the void left by Alfredo Roberts, who is now the Steelers tight ends coach.

Koger’s time coaching in the NFL hasn’t been that extensive.

Prior to joining Green Bay in 2019, Koger served as a graduate assistant for the University of Michigan and the University of Tennessee. He was also a wide receivers coach and special teams coordinator at Eastern Kentucky.

Koger is a former tight end, who played for the Wolverines. He was a Big-Ten honorable mention in 2011.

Under Koger, Packers TE Robert Tonyan had a breakout season in 2020, tying a franchise single-season high for the position with 11 receiving touchdowns.
