Over the last two seasons, former Chargers punter Ty Long was one of the worst players in several notable categories, including net punt yards and punts downed inside the 20-yard line. This offseason, the team decided to move on from Long before signing former Packer and Jaguar, J.K. Scott.
Despite having seemingly found their new man for the job, that shouldn’t stop the Chargers from doing their homework on a generational talent at punter in this year’s class, especially since he’s just outside their backyard in SoCal.
According to reports from Pro Football Network’s Tony Pauline, Araiza has been through a private workout with the Chargers, along with several other teams in recent weeks.
