It’s still early but despie covid-19 pandemic and no training camp plus zero preseason games, it seems around 10 of the 19 undrafted rookies from 2020 have carved out a role on the roster whether 53 man or practice squad. Compared to 2021 it looks like maybe one guy makes 53 man roster and maybe 2-3 other players make the practice squad.
2020: bradwell, fehoko, nabers, smith, vaughn, brannon, christiansen, gaziano, lemonier, and gillian have all managed to stick around despite the odds, nabers made the 53 man roster last year, right? But fehoko, bradwell, lemonier, brannon, I believe were activated a different points in the season. And it seems fehoko, nabers, and bradwell will make the 53 man this year.
By comparison in 2021 only ogbongbemiga projects as a 53 man finalist, stove disappeared early after being signed, goldwire had potential but retired mysteriously yesterday, deluca, kampmoyer, harper, and merrill are longshots to make the practice squad? Kessman I had high hopes for but sounds like kicking competition is between vizcaino and badleg.
granted 2020 class had 19 players and 2021 only had 10 players so percentage wise classes might end up with similar number making the roster, but looking forward I still think 2020 will be a bigger factor on roster in next couple of years

It’s nice and needed when those guys pay off. Ekeler is a GM wet dream. Just in the last 25-30 years the chargers have a solid track record of finding talented UDRFAs, I was watching the team since the coryell era began but I didn’t really start paying much attention to undrafted rookie free agent signings until the early to mid 1990s. Here are some guys that pop into my head when I think back a bit. gary plummer alfred pupunu david binn darren bennett wes welker antonio gates jesse chatman Malcolm floyd kassim osgood kris dielman mike tolbert stephen cooper michael davis austin ekeler Jacque cesaire eric parker Dequincy scott EDIT: 8/14/2021 tyrell williams

Watched the lions/bills preseason game last night and remembered that Tyrell Williams was also an undrafted rookie free agent with the chargers, he’s slated to become the detroit lions #1 WR this year which will be the culmination of 6 years of working his way up from a small school in oregon as an UDRFA
