The 2017 Chargers’ special teams unit was an absolute train wreck to say the least. Keeping Younghoe Koo over Josh Lambo proved to be an awful decision. Nick Novak was brought in and got hurt to the point where Drew Kaser had to kick field goals and extra points against the Dallas Cowboys. Nick Rose… woof. Absolute shanks.
Getting past kicking, the Chargers return unit wasn’t honestly much better. Travis Benjamin struggled until the second half of the season returning punts, and Austin Ekeler, Desmond King, and Travis Benjamin shuffled through the role of kick returner throughout the year.
