NFL.com • • sports
Key Points:
- David Njoku, a 2017 first-round pick, spent nine seasons with the Cleveland Browns, accumulating 4,062 yards and 34 touchdowns, and earned a Pro Bowl selection in 2023 despite dealing with injuries and inconsistent quarterback play.
- Njoku's best season came in 2023 with 882 yards and six touchdowns, but his production declined in 2025 with 293 yards and four scores in 12 games, as rookie Harold Fannin Jr. surpassed him.
- Joining the Los Angeles Chargers, Njoku will complement emerging talent Oronde Gadsden II and blocking tight end Charlie Kolar, providing quarterback Justin Herbert with a versatile pass-catching option in Mike McDaniel's offense.
- Njoku's ability to create separation and excel in the red zone addresses the Chargers' recent struggles using blocking tight ends in receiving roles, enhancing the team's offensive flexibility and depth.
- The addition of Njoku reflects the Chargers' ongoing commitment to roster diversity and bolstering depth as they aim to overcome postseason challenges.
