Los Angeles Chargers har endnu engang forstærket deres trup med en spiller fra draften i 2026. Ifølge NFL's officielle transaktionsrapport for mandag har holdet nu underskrevet kontrakt med centeren Jake Slaughter, som blev valgt i anden runde af årets draft.
Slaughter er dermed den sjette af Chargers' otte draftvalgte, der har skrevet under på en fireårig rookie-kontrakt. Han spillede college football som center ved University of Florida og var sidste år blandt de finalister, der kæmpede om den prestigefyldte Rimington Trophy, som gives til landets bedste center.
Selvom Chargers allerede havde sikret sig Tyler Biadasz som ny center i free agency, ser holdet potentiale i Slaughter til at spille på guard-positionen i sin debutsæson. Jim Harbaugh, Chargers' cheftræner, udtalte til holdets officielle hjemmeside:
"Jake har været vores bedste center gennem hele processen. Med muligheden for at spille guard får han en reel chance for at konkurrere om en startplads."
De to tilbageværende udraftede spillere, som endnu ikke har skrevet kontrakt, er Akheem Mesidor (førsterunde, edge rusher) og Brenen Thompson (fjerderunde, wide receiver).
