AFC West offensive line rankings: Chiefs, Raiders compete for top spot
By Grant Tuttle
3. The Los Angeles Chargers
Projected starters: Russell Okung, Dan Feeney, Mike Pouncey, Michael Schofield III, Sam Tevi
The Los Angeles Chargers have been trying to find their footing with their offensive line for what seems like a decade. While they have some nice pieces on paper, they appear to be a mid-tier to the bottom half of the league’s offensive lines.
Left tackle Russell Okung has been a very good player in the league, but has struggled to stay healthy. He’s currently out for several games after receiving treatment for a pulmonary embolism. At center the Chargers is Mike Pouncey who, in the past, has been one of the top centers in football. With these two players, the Chargers get bumped to third above the Denver Broncos.
As for the rest, Dan Feeney and fellow third-year guard Forrest Lamp were once drafted to help bolster the interior but Lamp is alss never healthy and Feeney just hasn’t been good. Michael Schofield, and Sam Tevi also have a lot to prove this season.
