The Chargers’ defense features a cast of the NFL’s top performers at several key positions, and expectations for the unit are at an all-time high heading into the 2023 season.
Led by veteran safety Derwin James Jr., edge defenders Joey Bosa and Khalil and cornerbacks J.C. Jackson, Michael Davis and Asante Samuel Jr., the potential of this unit is boundless.
Los Angeles posted their defensive highlight reel to Twitter, with clips that should make opposing offenses shudder.

It became evident after the Bolts’ heartbreaking playoff loss to the Jaguars in January that both sides of the ball will have to produce consistently for the Chargers to win crucial games at the end of the season.
Justin Herbert won’t be able to go out and deliver Los Angeles to a Super Bowl berth alone. With the hype behind the Chargers’ 2023 defense reaching its apex, it is now incumbent on the talented unit to make good on the promise they showed last season.
