Recent years have been challenging for the Chargers. Despite boasting a highly talented roster, the club has struggled to compete in the AFC West due to inadequate coaching over the past few seasons.

With this in mind, the team’s front office made the decision to bring in one of the top head coaches of recent years. Jim Harbaugh is returning to the NFL, poised to lead the team to greatness once and for all.

However, Harbaugh hasn’t forgotten about his college football team. The coach recently said that J.J. McCarthy, his former player, is the best quarterback in the 2024 NFL Draft. This statement might offer insight into his plans for the upcoming draft.

Roman Wilson, former wide receiver of the Wolverines, believes that Harbaugh will draft several of his former players for the Chargers. According to him, the coach intends to replicate the formula of success that worked for him in college football, but this time in the NFL.

“I wouldn’t be surprised if like all nine of us end up going [to the Chargers],” Wilson said, referring to the team’s nine draft picks, per Fox Sports. “But seriously, like at least five or six. I think he’s going to take a lot of us.”

Wilson could potentially be drafted by the Chargers this year. The team is aiming to surround Justin Herbert with talented players, and while Roman may not be the top wide receiver in this year’s class, his previous experience with Harbaugh could pave the way for him to join Los Angeles.
