The Los Angeles Chargers have selected Washington State linebacker Daiyan Henley with the No. 85 overall pick in the 2023 NFL draft.
At just under 6’1 and 225 pounds, Henley is undersized for a middle linebacker but he makes up for it with his athleticism and motor between the tackles. In his lone season as Washington State (transferred from Nevada following 2021 season), Henley excelled qith 106 total tackles, 12 tackles for loss, four sacks, and three forced fumbles en route to earning First-Team All-Pac 12 honors as a linebacker and Second-Team honors as a special teams contributor.
