22 Aug
Summary
- Charlie Kolar, a new Chargers tight end, excels at blocking.
- Kolar achieved career-high receiving stats in 2025.
- The Chargers have a deep tight end roster with new additions.
The Los Angeles Chargers have significantly strengthened their tight end unit through recent offseason moves. A notable addition, Charlie Kolar, acquired from the Baltimore Ravens, has been identified as a potential breakout player for the upcoming season. Kolar’s primary strength lies in his blocking ability, where his 71.5 PFF run-blocking grade in 2025 ranked 10th among his position.
Beyond his blocking prowess, Kolar also demonstrates considerable receiving potential. In 2025, he achieved career highs in receptions (10), receiving yards (142), and touchdowns (2) on 15 targets. This performance marks his best season as a receiver.
Kolar joins a tight end group that already features established players like David Njoku, a nine-year veteran, and Oronde Gadsden II, who impressed during his rookie season. This depth provides offensive coordinator Mike McDaniel with a versatile arsenal of pass-catching and blocking options.
