Chargers training camp: Second-year player making strong case for increased role

Although they lack star talent in the defensive tackle room, the charges have a lot of bodies that could be key contributors to the coming season. One of them is Justin second -year Eboigbe.

EBOIGBE, the choice of fourth round of Alabama, rarely saw the field during its recruit season, registering only 27 defensive snaps. However, he showed a strong argument to see an increase in playing time with his projections on the training field in the training camp, especially against the race.

According to Daniel Popper of athletics, Eboigbe stuffed Ballon Kimani Vidal in a nine exercise against seven. During an exercise of 11 against 11 with the offensive near their own goal line, he led the opposing tackle in the rear field and disrupted the race. EBOIGBE also recorded a tackle for the loss on a transfer of Vidal and created a penetration on a Jaret Patterson race.

“The weight has helped him,” said Minter. “He was sometimes dominant in different techniques, and I think he just has confidence. When you see this work translates on the field and in the way he plays, it is really rewarding for a player, where the hard work they put presents itself and allows them to play better than what they played the previous year.”

In May, Minter said that Eboigbe added 20 pounds from last season, which resulted in him to be more robust in the trenches.

Obtaining the production of the interior part of the defensive line will be vital for the success of the charges in 2025, and Eboigbe shows that it could be counted to contribute.
