With the 260th-overall pick in the 2022 NFL draft, the Chargers selected fullback Zander Horvath out of Purdue.
A traditional fullback? In today’s NFL? On the Chargers? Looks like Christmas came early for us “run the damn ball” truthers.
The 6’3, 230-pound Horvath was a three-year contributor for the Boilermakers, ending his career with 1,081 rushing yards and seven touchdowns. As a receiver, he caught 63 passes for 533 yards and a lone score. During his first two years on campus, Horvath also contributed on special teams where he totaled 27 total stops and one fumble recovery.
