The Chargers have one of the best safeties in the NFL in Derwin James. That’s a well-known fact. But if there was one big issue that really hamstrung this defense a year ago — aside from the run defense — it’s that some unfortunate injury luck showed just how shallow the talent was in the secondary. By the end of the year, if James or Nasir Adderley happened to miss some time, the Chargers were stuck trotting out the likes of Trey Marshall, rookie Mark Webb, or another free agent recently signed off the street.
With that in mind, it’s no surprise that the Bolts are doing their due diligence on some safety prospects in this year’s class.
