Chargers Relying on Tre Harris to Be Starting X Receiver

2 weeks ago

Now that wide receiver Mike Williams has retired, The Athletic's Daniel Popper writes that the Los Angeles Chargers are now relying on second-round rookie wideout Tre Harris to be their starting X receiver in 2025. With Williams hanging up his cleats, there is now more pressure on Harris to perform in his first year in the NFL as quarterback Justin Herbert's primary deep threat. During the first training camp practice on Thursday, Quentin Johnston and Jalen Reagor filled the outside spots with the first-team offense, with Reagor coming down with a 50-yard touchdown catch down the sideline. Reagor could compete at the X position, but at 5-foot-11, 197 pounds, he lacks desired size for the position. Johnston, a former first-rounder, hasn't been consistent off the line of scrimmage and struggles with 50-50 balls, so Harris has a real shot to be the team's No. 2 receiver in his first year.
