When discussing the Los Angeles Rams Super Bowl LVI win, the trade that landed them Matthew Stafford is considered the deal that made it work, but the transaction that set it in motion was trading for Cornerback, Jalen Ramsey, during the 2019 Season.

Ramsey began his career with Jacksonville as the highest Defensive Back selected (Fifth Overall) in the 2016 Draft, and he was an immediate star. A Pro Bowler in 2017 and 2018, Ramsey had a verbal altercation that almost went physical with Jaguars Head Coach, Doug Marrone, which was the catalyst for his departure from the Northeastern Florida. The Jaguars traded Ramsey a couple weeks later to the Rams, where he continued his excellent play, earning his third straight Pro Bowl.

In the two years that followed, Ramsey was the best Cornerback in Football, earning back-to-back First Team All-Pros on his way to winning 2022’s Super Bowl. His peers considered him so good that in ’22 he was named #9 on the NFL 100. The Rams struggled in 2022, though Ramsey was still excellent, winning his sixth straight Pro Bowl Selection.

Los Angeles elected to trade Ramsey to the Miami Dolphins after the 2022 Season, leaving him with 10 Interceptions, 209 Tackles, and the best brief run of any Defensive Back in Rams history.

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 interesting Running Back to rank on any list, as to date, he has yet to break 1,000 Yards on the ground in a season, but year-by-year, he has become a better 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 the 2021 and 2022, leading the NFL in Touchdowns iwith 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.
