Yes, we know that this is taking a while!

As many of you know, we here at Notinhalloffame.com are slowly generating the 50 of each major North American sports team. That being said, we have existing Top 50 lists out and we always consistently look to update them when we can and based on necessity. As such, we are very happy to present our post 2022 revision of our top 50 Los Angeles Chargers.

As for all of our top 50 players in football we look at the following:

1. Advanced Statistics.

2. Traditional statistics and how they finished in the National Football League.

3. Playoff accomplishments.

4. Their overall impact on the team and other intangibles not reflected in a stat sheet.

Last year, the Chargers returned to the playoffs, but were bounced in the first game. This past season saw one new entrant and one elevation.

As always, we present our top five, which did not change.

1. Junior Seau

2. LaDainian Tomlinson

3. Lance Alworth

4. Dan Fouts

5. Philip Rivers

You can find the entire list here.

Wide Receiver, Keenan Allen, climbed from #20 to #13.

Running Back, Austin Ekeler, makes his first appearance at #40.

It is noteworthy that Joey Bosa held the same spot (#39), and that Quarterback, Justin Herbert, just missed out. He should have a huge debut next year.

We welcome your input and comments and as always, we thank you for your support.

Austin Ekeler is an intriguing running back to rank on any list, as to date, he has yet to rush for over 1,000 yards in a season. However, year by year, he has proven himself to be a solid dual-threat back in professional football.

Undrafted from Western State in 2017, Ekeler made the Chargers, playing in a reserve capacity, but would break out in his third season, starting eight Games and accumulating over 1,500 Yards from Scrimmage. Missing six Games in 2020 due to injury, Ekeler was money in 2021 and 2022, leading the NFL in Touchdowns with a combined YFS close to 3,200.  Ekeler's production fell in 2023 (1,064 YFS/6 TDs), and he signed with the Washington Commanders at season's end.

Ekeler overall compiled 8.239 Yards From Scrimmage with 69 Touchdowns.

2. Traditional statistics and how they finished in the National Football League.

3. Playoff accomplishments.

4. Their overall impact on the team and other intangibles not reflected in a stat sheet.

Last year, Kansas City won their third Super Bowl and advanced in the overall hierarchy of the greatest NFL franchises of all-time. We saw three distinct rank elevations due to the powerful 2023 campaign.

As always, we present our top five, which did not change.

1. Len Dawson

2. Derrick Thomas

3. Tony Gonzalez

4. Bobby Bell

5. Will Shields

Tight End, Travis Kelce, exploded from #13 to #6.

Quarterback, Patrick Mahomes, who is now a two-time MVP, also rocketed up the ranking. He went to #8 from #19.

Defensive Tackle, Chris Jones, advanced nine spots to #31.

We welcome your input and comments and as always, we thank you for your support.

Chris Jones entered a sweet situation in the NFL in 2016, as he was drafted by a team on the rise (Kansas City) who could use a pass rusher.

The former Mississippi State star started more games than not in his first two seasons, and would be named an All-Rookie. Jones was a permanent starter for the Chiefs in his third year, accumulating 15.5 Sacks, 19 Tackles for Loss, and 29 Quarterback Hits, which netted him a Second Team All-Pro nod. Following that, Jones was consistently double-teamed, but remained Kansas City’s top pass-rusher.

From 2019 to 2024, Jones has been a perennial Pro Bowl Selection and is also on a three-year streak of First Team All-Pros.  The Chiefs have been to the last three Super Bowls (winning the first two), and while the offense receives most of the credit, these accolades would not have been possible without Jones leading the defense. 

This is a very special player who currently has 80.5 Sacks, 87 Tackles for Loss, and could secure so many more accolades in 2025.
