To get prepared, Chargers Wire will preview each position group set to compete in Mobile, Alabama, continuing today with the quarterback group.

Los Angeles, of course, doesn’t need a quarterback. They have Justin Herbert, himself an alum of the 2020 Senior Bowl. But backup options are always in play: Chase Daniel is likely to retire, but even if he doesn’t, he’s a free agent. Easton Stick is a free agent as well. There’s opportunity to reshape the room behind Herbert.

Head coach Jeff Traylor has a winning formula with UTSA, and the contest could be a shootout, with two talented quarterbacks under center for both teams.
