Since Justin Herbert was drafted by the Chargers in 2020, the Bolts have had one of the best offensive “trios” in the league, meaning the combination of a quarterback along with their top pass-catcher (receiver or tight end) and the team’s starting running back. However, this season is the first where Herbert is no longer with Keenan Allen nor Austin Ekeler.
In 2024, the Chargers will not have to begin building their trio from the ground up. In this year’s rankings of top offensive trios by CBS Sports, their analysts have the Bolts’ trio as Herbert, running back Gus Edwards, and wide receiver Joshua Palmer.
