This offseason, I’m reviewing the Chargers’ position groups and giving a grade to each. Last week’s article was about the team’s running backs, which can be found here. This week is a doing a bit of a two-for-one with the team’s secondary, covering both the safeties and corners. Each group will receive its own individual grade, as well as an overall grade for the entire defensive backfield.
The biggest change to the safety position for the Chargers was the release of veteran starter Jahleel Addae. The now-Houston Texan played six seasons for the team and was a constant fixture at safety after he started out as an undrafted free agent.
