Chargers Linebacker Henley Emerges as Defensive Leader in 2024 Season

News summary

The 2025 NFL season sees several rookies positioned as potential X-factors within their teams, notably in the AFC East and Los Angeles Chargers. For the Buffalo Bills, rookie edge rusher Landon Jackson could emerge as a key player, especially if veteran Joey Bosa's injury issues persist, potentially strengthening the Bills' pass rush rotation. Meanwhile, the Miami Dolphins seek impact from rookie cornerback Jason Marshall Jr. to enhance their defense. The Los Angeles Chargers have witnessed a breakout in linebacker Daiyan Henley, who, after minimal playtime in 2023, became a defensive leader in 2024 despite playing through a shoulder injury, and is expected to continue his upward trajectory. The Chargers also look to rookie wide receiver Tre Harris, their 2025 second-round pick, to fill a crucial X receiver role and complement the offense in Greg Roman's run-heavy scheme. Veteran quarterback Justin Herbert had a career season in 2024, but the Chargers' rushing attack struggled, with hopes that rookies like Harris and running back Omarion Hampton will help address those deficiencies in 2025.
