When Brandon Staley took over as head coach of the Chargers, he didn’t waste much time in fleshing out his plan for the 2021 Chargers. One of those goals was to make them a better team at the line of scrimmage. That meant bigger, faster, and stronger guys to play in the trenches on either side of the ball.
In his first offseason, Staley made a point to add Corey Linsley and Matt Feiler to the offensive line on top of drafting Rashawn Slater in the first. This offseason, he did the same thing with the other side of the ball by signing both Sebastian Joseph-Day and Austin Johnson to fill out the interior of the front seven.
