  The Chargers selected Colson in the third round of the 2024 NFL Draft, 69th overall. The Michigan linebacker reunites with his college coach, Jim Harbaugh, at the NFL level. There were strong arguments for Colson as the best off-ball linebacker in this class thanks to his strong tackling ability and sideline-to-sideline speed.
