Chargers' Tuli Tuipulotu: Monster performance vs. Browns
Tuli Tuipulotu recorded six total tackles (five solo), including 2.5 sacks, in Sunday's 27-10 win over the Browns.The second-year pro from USC has begun to play ahead of Joey Bosa, recording 3.5 sacks and one pass defended across the Los Angeles Chargers' last two games.

Chargers' Tuli Tuipulotu: Solid building block next season
Tuli Tuipulotu compiled 53 tackles (37 solo), 4.5 sacks, two forced fumbles and one pass defensed in 17 games with the Los Angeles Chargers during the 2023 season.While the numbers might not reflect it, the 2023 second-round pick was easily one of the team's shining lights amid a difficult 5-12 season. Tuipulotu initially started the season as a rotational piece on the edge and quietly tallied four sacks in his first nine games, despite playing no more than 76 percent of the team's defensive snaps in all but two of those contests. The rookie settled into a full-time role after Joey Bosa (foot) was lost for the season beginning in Week 12, but Tuipulotu tallied just a one half-sack the rest of the way. However, he remained a reliable disruptor in the backfield despite the modest sack production and projects as a significant defensive piece for new head coach Jim Harbaugh entering the 2024 season.

Chargers' Tuli Tuipulotu: Remains in California
The Los Angeles Chargers selected Tuli Tuipulotu in the second round of the 2023 NFL Draft, 54th overall.It's not entirely clear where Tuipulotu will line up, especially on a team that runs as many 3-4 looks as the Chargers, but at 266 pounds, the former USC star is likely headed toward outside linebacker as long as Los Angeles maintains its current scheme. If so, the primary question will be whether Tuipulotu will be able to play standing up as well as he does with his hand on the ground. Tuipulotu has major pass-rushing upside wherever he eventually lines up, as he piled up 13.5 sacks and 22 total tackles for loss in 2022.
