The Chargers have a running back on their radar ahead of the 2023 NFL draft.

According to NFL Media’s Ian Rapoport, Los Angeles met with former TCU RB Kendre Miller this past Saturday.

In 2022, Miller rushed for 1,399 yards and 17 touchdowns on 224 carries and caught 16 passes for 116 yards.

Miller earned first-team All-Big 12 honors and was a Doak Walker Award semifinalist, which is the award that goes to the top running back in college football.

In his three-year career at TCU, Miller had 390 carries for 2,639 yards and 27 touchdowns.

With the uncertainty surrounding Austin Ekeler and his future with Los Angeles after he was granted permission to seek a trade due to contract extension complications, they could be in the market for another back.

Behind Ekeler on the depth chart are Joshua Kelley, Isaiah Spiller and Larry Rountree. Miller’s size, speed and explosiveness would be a welcomed addition to the positional room, should they go that direction.
