Austin Ekeler had a tremendous season for the Los Angeles Chargers in 2019. In fact, he and Christian McCaffrey had just the second and third 900-receiving yard season by a running back since the turn of the century.
With Melvin Gordon holding out the first four games, Ekeler got a bigger role and did not disappoint. He finished the season with 92 receptions for 993 yards, eight receiving touchdowns, 132 carries, 557 rushing yards and three rushing touchdowns.
That production netted Ekeler a new contract extension as well. Ekeler and the Bolts agreed to a four-year, $24.
