Chargers have another unlikely wide receiver ready to surprise the league image

There will be a lot to talk about with the Los Angeles Chargers for the remainder of this summer, but the wide receiver position is going to be one you hear about daily until the regular season kicks off. 

It's already been a major topic of discussion for the Chargers this offseason, as many onlookers have felt the team didn't have enough reliable weapons for Justin Herbert to get the ball to. That problem was only compounded by the sudden retirement of Mike Williams

The Chargers have Ladd McConkey and second-round pick Tre Harris. Former first-round pick Quentin Johnston has always been shaky, but Derius Davis adds depth and fifth-round pick KeAndre Lambert-Smith is off to a great start in camp. 

Undrafted wide receiver Luke Grimm is a player many like as a dark horse to make the 53-man roster, but there is another undrafted wide receiver who is starting to look like he could push for that as well.

Dalevon Campbell is a big target at 6-foot-4 and he is already standing out in training camp, getting some run with the first-team offense

Campbell never posted big stats in college, part of the reason he went undrafted. He started at Illinois before transferring to Nevada and then ending up at South Carolina. His best season came in 2022 when he caught 38 passes for 459 yards at Nevada. 

Still, he may have landed in the perfect situation in L.A. There is a definite spot for a player to rise up the ranks on this depth chart and Campbell could be that guy. He will be one to watch in camp and preseason games, starting with the Hall of Fame Game this Thursday.
