Prior to the 2021 season, the Chargers signed Amen Ogbongbemiga, a former All-Big 12 selection at linebacker as one of their undrafted free agents. Ogbongbemiga went on to not only make the final roster, but he saw himself a decent amount snaps for a rookie UDFA. With the Chargers letting Kyzir White walk in free agency, the position group heads into this season with plenty of youth and inexperience. It was also quit shallow this time last year. which is a big reason why Ogbongbemiga ended up sticking.
This offseason, the Chargers added another linebacker among their UDFA haul in Tyreek Maddox-Williams.
