When the Chargers selected Zion Johnson in the first round of last year’s draft, many in the draft community believed they hit home on another immediate and long-time starter on the offensive line.
Johnson was instantly inserted at right guard where the Chargers struggled with injuries the season before. The rookie would go on to start all 17 games in a season that saw three starters miss time at one point or another.
For his consistency and effort, Johnson was one of five offensive lineman named to this year’s All-Rookie Team by Pro Football Focus.
