The Los Angeles Chargers are gearing up for the 2024 season, and the potential for success is high. Several key players have the opportunity to solidify their place in team history by reaching specific milestones this upcoming year.
First up is wide receiver Palmer, who is poised to make a significant impact as the Chargers’ WR1. Currently ranked 35th in receptions, 37th in receiving yards, and 41st in touchdowns in franchise history, Palmer has the chance to break into the top 25 in all three categories with a strong performance in 2024. According to team sources, Palmer needs to hit certain numbers to achieve this feat, and the receiving touchdowns may be the toughest to reach. However, with a solid season, Palmer is expected to climb the ranks and leave his mark in team annals.
Defensive star Bosa is also on the cusp of history, as he aims to claim second place in franchise sack record. With just three quarterback takedowns separating him from Shaun Phillips, Bosa has battled injuries in recent seasons but is determined to make his mark. If he can stay healthy and notch those three sacks, Bosa will trail only Leslie O’Neal for the Chargers’ sack record.
Meanwhile, Mack, who has only been with the Chargers for two seasons, is making his presence known on the defensive side. His 25 total sacks currently rank 19th in team history, and another double-digit sack year could propel him into the top 15. Depending on his future with the team beyond 2024, Mack could even have a shot at breaking into the top 10 with just 21 more sacks needed.
Lastly, Samuel has emerged as a force in the pass breakup column early in his career. With 35 passes defended in just three seasons, Samuel is already making his mark at 11th in team history. Another strong performance in 2024 could see him move up the ranks and potentially surpass former players like Rodney Harrison and Donnie Edwards in the pass breakup category.
Overall, the Chargers have a talented roster poised for success in the 2024 season. With key players like Palmer, Bosa, Mack, and Samuel looking to make their mark in team history, the possibilities are endless. Stay tuned as these players aim to cement their legacies in Los Angeles Chargers’ annals.
