The 2026 season looms as a big one for the Los Angeles Chargers and Justin Herbert.
After back-to-back 11-win seasons, the Chargers were dumped out of the postseason after one game, and this offseason, the changes have come thick and fast.
The offensive line was upgraded, and the pass rush was addressed in the draft, but perhaps the Chargers' biggest offseason addition isn't a player at all -- it's a coach.
For NFL.com's Gennaro Filice, he's fascinated by what Mike McDaniel can do with the Chargers' offense.
"The Chargers made some targeted additions at key spots in free agency (C Tyler Biadasz, blocking TE Charlie Kolar) and the draft (OLB Akheem Mesidor, OG Jake Slaughter), but their most compelling offseason pickup was Mike McDaniel," Filice wrote. "Who else is utterly fascinated to see what kind of run game the new offensive coordinator cooks up with Jim Harbaugh?"
