The Los Angeles Chargers are looking to contend in the 2026 football season. Reaching lofty heights could be dependent on the team's ability to protect starting quarterback Justin Herbert.

The Chargers famously did not generate much offense against the New England Patriots in their postseason loss, but they're doing what they need to do to address the weakness.

Adding offensive coordinator Mike McDaniel does a lot in the way of improving the offensive scheme. Now many believe the team will draft offensive linemen to ensure Herbert has time to execute plays.
