    Red Flags for the Los Angeles Chargers' Offensive Line

Player Outlook
The Chargers selected Thompson in the fourth round of the NFL Draft from Mississippi State, and he will compete with Tre Harris for the No. 3 spot on the depth chart this season. Ladd McConkey and Quentin Johnston should be locked into the top two receiver spots, but Thompson could be third if he proves to be better than Harris in training camp. New offensive coordinator Mike McDaniel likes Thompson's speed -- he posted a 4.26-second 40-yard dash time at the NFL combine -- and that could help the rookie earn more playing time. In 2025 at Mississippi State, Thompson had 57 catches for 1,054 yards and six touchdowns, and he is worth drafting with a late-round flier in seasonal leagues if he beats out Harris in training camp. In rookie-only drafts for Dynasty leagues, Thompson is worth drafting in Round 2.

  • Chargers' Brenen Thompson: Drafted by Chargers

    The Chargers selected Thompson in the fourth round of the 2026 NFL Draft, 105th overall. Thompson is a speedster who put up eye-popping numbers in Jeff Lebby's offense at Mississippi State in 2025, racking up 57 grabs for 1,054 yards and six touchdowns. He's undersized at 5-foot-9, 166 pounds, however, he possesses blazing speed, posting a 4.26 40-time at the NFL Combine, which isn't surprising given his track background. The Chargers already have a trio of impressive receivers in Ladd McConkey, Quentin Johnston and Tre' Harris, but Thompson could slot in behind that group and see the field in the slot if McConkey needs a breather or misses any time.
