Tonight is the first step many players will be taking in the race to make the final 53-man roster for the 2018 Chargers. This includes a number of hopeful UDFAs and some veterans who may soon start to find their spots from last year slowly slipping away.
If another UDFA finds himself still with the team come September 9th, that would make 22-straight seasons that an undrafted rookie has defied the odds. The most recent names to have joined this club are TE Sean Culkin, CB Michael Davis, and RB Austin Ekeler from the previous year’s group.
