Yes, we know that this is taking a while!

As many of you know, we at Notinhalloffame.com are slowly generating the top 50 of each major North American sports team. That being said, we maintain and update our existing Top 50 lists annually.  As such, we are delighted to present our post-2024 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 that are not reflected in a stat sheet.

Last year, the Chargers had a strong season, finishing 11-6 and advancing to the playoffs, although the Houston Texans defeated them in the Wild Card Round.  There were two new additions to the list and one elevation on our Top 50.

As always, we present our top five, which remain unchanged. 

1. Junior Seau
2. LaDainian Tomlinson
3. Lance Alworth
4. Dan Fouts
5. Philip Rivers

You can find the entire list here.

Joey Bosa, who is now with the Buffalo Bills and was the 2016 Defensive Rookie of the Year, advanced two spots to #36.

Four-time Pro Bowl Safety Derwin James debuts on the list at #40.

The other new entry is Quarterback Justin Herbert, who comes in at #45.

We thank you for your continued support of our lists on Notinhalloffame.com.

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.

Joey Bosa was a beast at Ohio State, earning two All-American honors, the Nagurski-Woodson Defensive Player of the Year, and winning the National Championship.  The Chargers used their Third Overall Pick on the Buckeye, and it proved to be the correct decision.

2024 Pre-Season Rank #71, 2023 Pre-Season Rank #51, 2022 Pre-Season Rank #60, 2021 Pre-Season Rank #82, 2021 Pre-Season Rank #97.  Peak Period: 2017-21

The 2016 Defensive Rookie of the Year could not add much to his Hall of Fame after 2021, as in 2022, he missed most of the season due to a groin injury.  When he returned, he hampered the Chargers in their playoff game against Jacksonville when he took his helmet off in frustration over a Jags Touchdown.  The penalty helped the Jags win the game, and Bosa was the bonehead of the week.  After a pair of seasons where he was under the radar, he now joins the Buffalo Bills, with the hope of rejuvenating his career.   This year is pivotal for his Hall of Fame chances.
